Hi,

I'm also using overflow:auto in a div to mimic the behaviour of an iframe. What I want is, basically, a div for text with a set width and height that, when the text overflows, shows up a scrollbar.

    Here's what I'm working on:

        + http://dev.adrianocastro.net/help/0001/

So far, so good. It seems to work relatively well on most browsers apart from some minor glitches when it comes to other text-size. Your general comments are highly appreciated.

Whereas I can skin the scrollbars in IE, it is - as we all know - impossible to so for Mozilla. For the effect I'm trying to achieve (set width and height block of text with scrollbars) what's the CSS-way of doing it with customisable scrollbars?

I really don't want to stray away from the default (system) scrollbars and go into something JavaScript based.


    Tks,
    AD

An additional question regarding the overflow:auto.
Steve mentioned that IE/mac can't do the overflow scrolling. Is there
any hack around that? Or is it so that we "just" have to ignore that
browser then if we insist on using css?

IE Mac can do overflow perfectly well, as long as it is applied to a <div>. With any other element, it will collapse the element completely.

I don't know why you want to use 'overflow:auto', I haven't followed the thread so far. In a number of cases there are certainly alternatives, which are much better than using the overflow property.
