overflow:auto; will do it if the div does not have to stretch horizontally. Otherwise you have the ie proprietary code
overflow-x:hidden;

In FireBird, I had a problem with overflow: auto;. Every time I moused over any of my links, my content would jump up on the page very breifly. It always went back, but it was a flash, and I didn't know what the hell was going on. So, I used overflow-y: auto; instead, which is what I needed anyway.

That was weirding me out. Nothin' wrong with my CSS that I could see. Markup looked fine, too. Ran it through the validators to make sure.

well overflow-x -y is ie only proprietary. Auto will work for everything, but you have to make sure the content is not stretching all over the x axis, like your links or flash or rollovers can't cause stretching or it is probably going to cause problems.
