Overflow problem

[HowardMarks]

Hi guys

I have a site at

http://www.actiles.co.uk/zenith/

The central portion of text on the home page is contained within a div with overflow:hidden; and any scrolling is dealt with with some javascript.

In Mozilla the container div sizes correctly on first load, but in IE6 when the page originally loads the overflowed content leaks out over the right hand image. As soon as the browser window is resized the content will jump back into its box and everything works fine.

I suspect this is to do with the stretching nature of the centre section and IE is not realising how much space it needs to fill until the window is resized.

Can anyone offer a solution?

Many thanks

Nick

Validation is reporting some errors including having an extra </div>. That could be sending it haywire.

I agree, the virst thing would be to correct all ther validation errors. As its hard to trace donw a priblme when there are other errors there that may or may not contribute to it.

The first thing woulds be that superfluous closing div tag.



Second it looks to me that its not actually overflowing, but rather your JS scroll bar is not filling the div.

I would look into how the JS scrollbar is generated.

IE may have difficulty getting it to render correctly the first time.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Thanks for you suggestions guys, I will look into making sure this is validated first, and proceed from there.
