hey all

i have a quick question

if my div is set to "overflow:auto" how can i get rid of the bottom scroll bar ?

since i have a fixed width & height when the auto scroll gets added on certain pages it takes away from my width and therefore adds the other scroll bar as well which is totally un-nesasary *SP

thanks Smiling

Possibly you are not using a full, valid doctype and the browsers are in "quirks" mode or there are widths defined for some element inside the that are wider than the parent container.

In my limited CSS experience, any negative margins up against the edges will invariably cause this to happen. Best to use float:left and float:right and that sort of thing rather than exact placement of items. In other words, elements within the div should have dynamic widths/relative placement.
