Problems with CSS overflow

[SoyDelicious]

I'm attempting to create a box that would contain linkable php code.

<code>

<td colspan=3 valign=&quot;top&quot; background=&quot;#ffffff&quot;><div id=&quot;mainContent&quot; style=&quot;position:absolute; spacing:10px; width:344px; height:150px; z-index:1; overflow: auto; border: 2px none #000000;&quot;>
<?php include_once(&quot;mainbody.php&quot; ?>
</div></td>

</code>

I've tried changing auto to scroll. Verifying with different browsers. I just can't get this badboy to stay inside that lines.

I modified the code from another page that had been submitted to me as a concept. These values worked on that page and not mine which both contain the same CSS (even though defined at div statement). Please find something that I'm doing wrong or I think I'll just die! Thanks for your time.

Hmmm, if i insert lots an lots and lots of text in your <div> it is inside the boundaries you supplied. What is in the mainbody.php that you are including?

Yeah you have to be careful what's in mainbody.php, certain tags like <center> can easily break it, and there could be other things interfering with it.

Breakdown mainbody.php, remove certain tags or styles and see if there is anything interfering with it.
