Dead zones when scrolling with mouse wheel

Nexusens · Apr 11, 2007

If the cursor is not over an element the scroll wheel does not function in IE

I assume that it has somthing to do with a lack of formating for these area my general code structure goes like this
<body>
<div>
<p>content</p>
<p>content</p>
<p>content</p>
</div>
</body>
the sapces between the <p>'s seem to be the dead zones?

Your content div does not even appear for me in IE6 (1024 x 768). You have overflow: hidden in your body selector, so no scrolling is allowed. When I remove that from the css, I find that the content is about a page below the 'bottom of the fold'.

(Overflow:hidden also likely explains your mouse wheel problem. Why scroll when the browser is specifically told not to?)

The overflow:hidden is only aplied to 2 of the 3 div's those 2 are not suposed to scroll the 3rd is overflow:auto
and I have not yet done a IE6 workaround

I suppose your scrolling div in IE is only present where the elements are. It also looks terrible having two scrollbars. I suggest you think of another way to do what you're doing.
