Horizontal Scrollbar casues uneeded vertical scrollbar

[Billkamm]

Whenever a horizontal scrollbar appears with an DIV element I have setup then a vertical scrollbar appears as well. I have noticed that MSIE appends the horizontal scrollbar within the DIV tag and not after the DIV tag. Therefore I now have the height of scrollbar LESS in my DIV area (hence the vertical scrollbar).

Is there a way to turn off the vertical scrollbar or to position to horizontal scrollbar, so that the vertical scrollbar will only appear if absolutely necessary.
