DIV tag css not working FireFox

[1DMF]

Can someone tell me why my style="CSS Stuff" is not working for the DIV tag in FireFox and only partialy works in I.E.

style=\"overflow:wrap; overflow-y:scroll;  border:none; width:299px; height=480px; font-family:$ptxt_style[0]; font-size:$ptxt_style[1]pt; color:$ptxt_style[2]; background:$ptxt_style[3]; scrollbar-base-color:$ptxt_style[3]; scrollbar-shadow-color:$ptxt_style[2];\">

Firefox doesn't show nay attributes used in the style command, and I.E works fine except It doesn't wrap the text for the horizontal z axis, yet i get my vertical y-axis scroll bar.

is it a syntax thing?

cheers,

It's a long shot but It might be to do with the variables you have in there causing parsing errors.

Try dropping out of the style string and concatenate your variables into the string.

I've also found that if I put the code in the TD tag it doesn't work at all in either browser.

strange, I guess this is the problem with all the browsers not being properly CSS compliant.

how can i fix my problem ? is there a tag, that CSS works properly with or maybe a change in syntax?

ok i managed to sort it, overflow-y doesn't work in firefox, nor does CSS on the scrollbars, i also changed it to a <p> tag not sure if it helped but it works.

it seems you must use overflow:auto;

i found this...

<p name=\"PageText\" border=0 id=\"PageText\" style=\"overflow:auto; overflow-y:scroll;  border:none; width:299px; height:480px; font-family:$ptxt_style[0]; font-size:$ptxt_style[1]pt; color:$ptxt_style[2]; background:$ptxt_style[3]; scrollbar-base-color:$ptxt_style[3]; scrollbar-shadow-color:$ptxt_style[2];\">

works ok in firefox and fantastic in I.E.
