scrolling div parameters?

[DagGz]

hi, after your advice in a previous thread, i have decided to use scrolling div's as opposed to iframes. this has totally fixed the predicament i was in before which im really pleased about.

i now have 1 other problem though. after applying the scrolling div to my page, it has both a vertical scroll bar and a horizontal (inactive) scrollbar. i want to do away with the inactive scroll bar as it ruins the look of the page. there is no need and wont ever be a need to have a horizontal bar so is there a way i can get rid of this?

also is there a way of using the div as a target, as in, when a link is clicked, the content displays within the scrolling div.

Depends if you want your page to be HTML or XHTML.
Also depends on your support for browsers.

IE has the option to to use overflow-x and overflow-y
Mozilla has it's own propriety code that can be used

you could always use a detection script to decide which CSS to use.

obviously i want it to be compatible with as many platforms as possible. all i want to do is do away with the horizontal scrollbar in the scrolling div, thats my main gripe at the moment.

it would be nice if i could use the scrolling div in the same way as a frame is used though. if i cant do that then that doesnt really matter as there are other ways of acomplishing what i want.

thanks

Using overflow:auto may get you the right results

seems ok to me.
The blue is a bit funny to my eyes and you may want to tweak the link text colour.
