Re: Scrollable Div Help needed

What I'd suggest is redoing the page so that it eliminates the need for a scrollable div.

Alternatively, if you really need/want to keep it I'd suggest checking and double checking all your padding/margins on the div and all tags within it. If all else fails just stipulate that <p> is a set width so not to overhang the edges of the div.

If you need any further assistance then don't hesitate to ask.

Hi.
Thanks for replying Dan. I do want to keep the scrollable div, I believe everything is ok with the padding etc. I have been told the problem is occuring in IE6 and FF1.5.0.4. Im not sure what you mean by "stipulate that <p> is a set width" could you please clarify on this?
Cheers
Tanya
