HUGE CSS problem, one to make you think...

Have a look at http://www.tyla.org.uk/test.htm

Simple CSS DIV layout, not a table in sight... Full compliant, only works in IE5.5/6, NN6.22/7/7.01 and Moz (pure genius:-))

Now there's one small problem with DIV's, the content tends to flow outside of the defined bounding box. This is overcome by using:

overflow:no;
scroll-y:yes

Which produces a similar thing to an iFrame... here's my problem. It only works in IE and I need a NN6/7 fix. I don't was to use an iFrame as they're bulky, horrid to format and badly supported.

The area I need to scroll in both IE/NN is the #content (currently contains the sample content text)

My last resort will be to use an @import css declaration to load a "simple" css style for NN?

Any ideas?

Chuffed... try busting that.

Works perfectly in IE5.5/6 NN6/7 Moz 1.0+

Does exactly as it's supposed to in NN2-4.xx and IE4

Small problem in Opera (Deosn't support overflow:auto), but hey, who cares...

Not a single table in sight.

Fully CSS compliant (not including the scroll styling for IE)...

Tiny amount of code... Perfectly centred horizontally as well as vertically (try doing that legally with a table)...

I am feeling just a tad chuffed!

Heh yeah I get it now :-)

Flash?

Get some dynamic flash driven content using a MySQL database. That would define sexy.

Bu@@er!

"There is no currently no x/y-specific scroll attribute for browsers other than IE6"

Grrr... going tohave to usea chrachter count script instead to prevent it from over lapping! The again... less content.

Rob: The idea is that it stays contrained to 500 x 300 px

Oh yes I would as the whole point is that I don't want the area to expand. I want it to scroll like an iframe. So weather using tables or not, it makes no difference.
