Hi all, I am having a problem with a website I am designing. The problem centre's around area of the page which has a scrolling content cell and the height attribute when it is set to 100%.
Everything works and looks as planned in IE but mozilla firefox just won't play ball. I am aware that if I play with the relevant css class attached to the cell and set the height to something in pixels I can get a similar look but the scroll bar does not increase or decrease then to fit the page accordingly and when you change the height to 100% firefox just does not recognise it.
Any ideas or help would be welcome as I have searched and searched for an answer with no real solution. Link below

Make sure you have overflow: auto; in the appropriate block. If it still acts up, you have a booboo somewhere, but you can always set overflow:hidden; which will get rid of the scroll bar.

I take it this is a new site so still chance to do it right!

Please get rid of all those table bits and pieces just used for layout purposes.

Code to modern standards compliant.

Seperate out ALL css into a seperate file and <link... it into your html pages.

DO NOT use none standard propriatory attributes.

And as Mason says the problem lies in the way you have defined your css for the scrolling div.

Hi,
thanks for the quick replies, being very reliant on dreamweaver, it looks like i will have to get reading as my css knowledge is very limited.
