The div element in html

[monk23785]

when using the overflow attribute within a <div> tag is it possible to only have the scroll bar down the side of the of the selected area,
i.e getting rid of the horizontal scrol bar at the bottom

Can you give more information about what you are trying to do, and what the problem is?

I had a problem recently, where I couldn't get rid of the horizontal scroll-bar at the bottom of an i-frame.

The solution was to add "width: 95%" to the style sheet of the page appearing in the i-frame, or add the following to the page.

<STYLE>
body { width: 95%; }
</STYLE>

rather than using frames i like to use the div element to split up the page,

but to get a <div> element are to scroll you need to use the function "overflow" to bring up the scroll bars,

but in doing so you get both the horizontal and the vertical scroll bars, but the page would look better if the horizontal scroll bar wasn't there

If I understand your probelm correctly, I think you are looking for the attribute - overflow: auto;
Complete test code is here if you would like to try it out.

<div id="layerID" style="position:absolute; width:300px; height:200px; z-index:1; overflow: auto;">
