I am building a website for a client and seem to have run into a small incompatibility issue. I am using the overflow:auto control but when i load the page in IE7 i can scroll by clicking on the arrows or pulling the bar up and down but it wont allow me to use the mouse wheel. Here is a section of my css file:

.page_content {
    font-size: 11px;
    margin-top: 5px;
    padding-top: 40px;
    padding-left: 10px;
    text-align: justify;
    padding-right: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 40px;
    overflow: auto;
    width: auto;
    height: 362px;
} 

could you please analyse this and tell me whats wrong because it works perfectly in firefox.

thanks

It could be one of those many things IE doesn’t support properly.

Have you tried positioning the mouse directly over the area that needs to scroll?

Also, is there a reason you need a box scrolling? Could you post the link to the site so I could see the way this is used in case I have other ideas?

Yah, sorry I made a mistake. I put the


overflow:auto

inside another div that was


postion:absolute

. I took the


position

element out and it worked.

Sorry about that. But thanks for taking the time to reply.
