This is driving me crazy. I was beating at this thing for hours yesterday (I know, on Sunday, but it was irking me).

I'm trying to make a page with two sections. The top one will appear and disappear at the push of a button. That's not a problem at all. The bottom one, though, will take up the remainder of the page, and will scroll separately from the top.

Here's the HTML for the page (simplified). This is for an IE-only environment. The problem is that the table inside the div inside the bottom cell of the main table is wide. But since I've set the overflow style on the div, that shouldn't matter. It shouldn't stretch the div out; it should just make the div scroll. And it *does* stretch the div out beyond 100% of the window's width, so that I lose the scrollbar on the right edge of the div.

Is it a matter of being nested too deeply? Is IE just unable to deal with that?

code:

<html> 
<body topmargin=0 bottommargin=0 leftmargin=0 rightmargin=0 scroll=no> 


<table width=100% height=100% border=1> 
  <tr height=0 id=topPanel> 
    <td align=right>test</td> 
  </tr> 
  <tr height=100%> 
    <td> 
      <div style=width:100%;height:100%;overflow:auto;background- 
color:khaki> 
        <table height=100% bgcolor=pink> 
          <tr>

The overflow property works best when you specify a height and width for the div. I've also found that the "auto" value doesn't work very well, and that it's best to be as specific as possible.

If you specify a height and width and then set overflow-y:scroll, you should be fine.

IE considers the width of nested DIVs to be the minimum value, and will expand DIVs to match the width of the content.

Well, damn. How do I fix the width of a div? I can't give it a number, because I want it to resize with the browser window. And Tom, normally, if I set the overflow property of a div, it doesn't stretch. It just scrolls. That's the expected (correct) behavior.

Erosomniac, I don't mind setting the overflow property to scroll, but how do I get it to match the size of the window without using 100%?

The only way I've been able to solve this particular problem in IE is with Javascript.

That shouldn't be necessary. I've never run into a problem like this before.

It shouldn't be necessary, I agree. But as far as I can tell, it is. [Frown]
