    Hi,

    im trying to use the overflow:scroll; command in a div do as i can display a very wide table but not have it distort the page (and thereby have horizonal scroll bars for the user to scroll through the content)

    however im having an issue in FF whereby the table will not actually stay in the div (we do see the scroll bars also)

    anyone have ideas on what is wrong ?

    screen attached and code below.
    tnx
    
<div id="frame" style="position: absolute;overflow:scroll;width:600px;height:500px;" >

<table border=1 width="1000">
....
....
....
</table>


</div>

    I haven't tried horizontal scrolls before, only vertical.
    They work fine in firefox and IE, but instead of overflow:scroll i used overflow: auto like this (i also have the width and height defined):
    #scrollBox
{
    float:left;
    font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
    height:450px;
    width:600px;
    overflow:auto;
    text-align:justify;
}

    hope that helps
