I have spent a lot of time Googling this problem with no luck. I suspect it may be one of those things that are so obvious I just can't see. So I'm turning to the list for help.

The page in question is: http://spark.andrewmaben.com/index.php? page=information and the CSS is at http://spark.andrewmaben.com/ resources/sparks2.css (Specifically line 655 ff).

In IE7 (and I imagine other versions) when clicking on the "Schools" tab in the center panel, the school info appears with no scrollbar, a second click "magically" reveals both horizontal and vertical scrollbars, and clicking on another tab and then re-clicking "Schools" reveals a vertical scrollbar (the desired result). Works fine in Safari/Mac, Firefox/Mac/PC. HTML is valid 4.01 strict. There are CSS errors due to the use of some proprietary properties, but I don't think they are a factor.

The "Schools" panel has a table contained within a fixed height div with overflow:auto. The "Other" panel, with a paragraph with overflow:auto is fine in IE7.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions.

(And yes, I know - mea culpa, I fell back on a layout table to hold the Weather).

Thanks,
