Website admin panel with iPad support

We're building an admin panel for managing bookings and payments. I would like to use the style of Apple Mail on the iPad 开发者_如何转开发as it is clean, simple and user friendly. We are quite capable of building it but the question remains on scrolling content.

Image a Clients page. We'd want a list of clients on the left and onclick the content to load on the right. On iPad mail these two colums scroll independently. Yet to achieve this on our own pages I have found only a handful of inadequate solutions.

1.) Overflow content and two finger scroll

- no scrollbars
- not particularly user friendly

2.) JS libraries such as iScroll

- over complex and  lacing in cross browser compatibility.

Thus any other simple ideas on how to do this. Would a good old fashioned frameset accomplish this goal?

What's wrong with two divs with overflow: auto;?
