Pardon my ignorance, but I am definitely missing something here. My CSS 
knowledge is nowhere near that of you gurus and overflow is something I 
haven't worked with much, so I'd just like to interject a really silly 
question here. (Sorry. Inquiring minds want to know...)

If overflow: auto or hidden is used merely to clear an element, what 
prevents the occasional chopping off of needed data (hidden) or the 
addition of nasty little scroll bars everywhere (auto) where one might 
not want them?

K. What is it I don't understand? :)
