Yes I believe if you change the css to auto it will only show the scroll if it's required.
So.. overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; In theory it should work.

Have you tried adding in something like: overflow-y: scroll; overflow-x: hidden; to your CSS?

I've uploaded an example of the page as it is now, but all the text hide's because of the fixed height, I've tried to have my client allow me to expand the height from 550 to 100% but it's a no go. Example is at url www.essentialebizsolutions.net/client/human/example.gif Many thanks -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Lovelock Sent: 25 July 2008 13:07 To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: RE: [WSG] Vertical Scrolling Hi Mat, Can you show us an example? Not really sure how you would want it to scroll without a vertical scrollbar, unless you want it to scroll horizontally? To create another method of scrolling I would presume that you will have to use javascript. I'm thinking though that the simplest idea would be to not limit the page height to 550px. Seems very small to me!

I'm trying to write a price list page for them, but the height of the page is fixed to 550px, and for the life of me I can't think of how to make the DIV scroll without having a vertical scroll bar and for it to still work in IE6, 7 and FireFox without dirty hacks. If anyone can help that will be brilliant as I want the user to experience the site the same no matter what browser they are using.
