something about that sounds familiar...do I need to add something like

overflow: notvisible;

overflow: hidden;

or you can play with overflow:scroll on certain elements, but that has
lead to weird scrolling for me in the past.

overflow: hidden;

did solve the one problem, but now, when the browser window is made small, the user will be unable to scroll.

Imagine a scenario where you need to have a browser window open, and maybe a text document at the same time, or other applications. when I had a 1024 x 768 powerbook, I was always juggling my screen space that way.

Can I both get the visual I want of having that center area go down as far as the browser window is open, AND have the user be able to scroll?

Do I need to give some silly height value, like 10,000 pixels?

or is that considered crass and kludgy?

thank you!
