I designed my site in dreamweaver on my MAC and I created text fields with scroll bars using CCS styles and the scroll shows up fine on Safari and Firefox (on my MAC) but not IE on a PC.

Any idea why?

Yes. But no valid ones without maybe seeing the code in question...

This is my code for the CSS .

.News {
overflow: scroll;
visibility: inherit;
height: 288px;
width: 244px;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
text-align: left;
text-indent: 0pt;
white-space: normal;
display: compact;
padding: 4px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: xx-small;
font-style: normal;
float: left;
list-style-position: outside;
position: absolute;
top: 490px;
}
 
It works fine for me in IE6 if I apply the class to a <div>, but I get the same results as you if I put the data in a <td>.

So I should make the <td> tag into a <div> tag and i should be alright?
 
Hoh do I change the <td> tag to to a <div> tag?
Thanks for your help thus far, I really appreciate it.
 
How do I change the <td> tag to to a <div> tag?
Move your data outside the table.
Code:
<div class="News">
... your data...
</div>
I don't know why it doesn't work inside the table, though.
