@cootheadFeb 22.2008 — #Hi there Joseph Witchard,
I assumed, as I read your post, that you had just stubbed out your [i]spliff[/i]. ?
So before igniting my [i]hubble bubble[/i] I knocked up this code for you...
?

Post a link to the site rather than a snip or meaningless code. ?
How on earth to you expect us look at...
...and be able to make constructive comment on scrollbars or their absence. ?
Alternatively you could try this code....

Scrollbar Help (this is really, REALLY weird)
I’m asking for help because I did some testing today with div scrollbars using CSS, and something very strange happened.
The reason I was doing the test was the div scrollbar for my staff page wasn’t working in IE7, but that’s not the topic of this discussion (not the main one)
I made two divs in the test: an outer div and an inner div. No matter what I tried, in any browser I tried, I couldn’t get the scrollbar to work in the test. I sat there, trying to come up with some possible solution as to what I was doing wrong, when a strange thought occurred to me. I was trying to add a scrollbar to the INNER div. For experimentation purposes, I removed the scrollbar styling from the inner div and instead tried it on the outer div. It worked in BOTH IE7 and FF. For some reason, it wouldn’t work on the inner div, but it would work on the outer div.
Now, here’s where the weirdness occurs. The scrollbar for the div on my staff page doesn’t work in IE7, and the page is set up with an outer div and an inner div. The inner div scrollbar on my staff page WORKS in everything but IE7, yet when I was testing on my test page, the scrollbar wouldn’t work at all except on the outer div.
People, what’s going on?
