overflow

[PeOfEo]

I want to have a scrollable div, and the problem is when I set overflow:scroll; I get a h-scroll bar too and it doesnt wrap so the user will have a huge h-scroll bar. I was going to use overflow:auto; which will just make a v-scroll bar, but the problem is on IE it is not read the same way and it just treats auto like visible. Is there any code I can use to set overflow:scroll; but disable the h-scroll bar?

I believe Pierre found the same problem.

I think you have to nest a 90% width div inside, and perhaps use overflow-x:hidden; or something like that. Perhaps Pierre will post his test site - I've lost the address. I believe it's somewhere in one of his posts somewhere.

If you go for the 'search for all posts by this user' you'll find the thread we worked it out in.

hello

I guess you found the discussion Dave referred to. If not: it is http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15229.

I just started a new thread, presenting some results and workarounds on the issue, and asking a new question. You can find it at css>overflow and borders / MSIE WinXP, or directly at
