I don't think this is how you want it, but if I am to achieve the visual you're after, it will end up something like this... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/test_07_2000.html> ...where the apparent overflow at the bottom of the green-bordered div is added by me, just to make it look even more like the example you linked to. As you have no real control of container-width, amount of text, font-size and font-family, I have to add 'overflow control' on two fixed-height containers, inside another fixed-height container. The result doesn't look good IMO, but it's as close as you can get with CSS alone. I think it might be closer to what you want _if_ the overflowing part of 'nonScrollDiv' could "spill over" to 'scrollDiv', so only the latter were to scroll - regardless of whatever variables that affected your construction. You could possibly achieve that with some clever Javascript, but that's beyond me and this list. The normal way of handling cases like this with CSS, is to put all text (and whatever else we got) inside one fixed-height container, and add 'overflow: auto' to that container. Then the spill-over is automatically taken care of, and you get a scrollbar when you need one. Apparently that's not what you want, but here's a basic example anyway... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/test_07_2002.html> regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
