Hi,

Can someone tell me why on the following page...

this doesn't happen if FireFox.

It's the "height: 100%;" CSS on the body element that's doing it.

Well - if I remove things one by one from your CSS, that's the one that stops it from happening, anyway.

Hope this helps,

P.S. Personally, I'd remove the height and overflow styling from both html and body - I just can't see why you'd need / want them.

Hi Dan,

The reason they are there is to make the side boxes stay fixed on the screen and the middle part is the only thing that scrolls.

If I take the height:100% off the body tag then the page becomes unscrollable.

Is there a way to fix this behaviour in I.E. but still having the desired static left and right hand sections with just the middle scrolling?
