I have run to a weird problem. I have a div with position absolute

  • 0

I have run to a weird problem. I have a div with position absolute and fixed height and overflow set to auto. And inside is another div, which has bigger height. So in all browsers a scrollbar appears, and in Chrome, Firefox, and IE7 is everything fine. But in IE 8-9 I am able to scroll with mouse, only if the cursor is pointing at some text. When it is pointing on white space, it doesn’t respond to mouse scrolling. Does anybody know why is this happening? I trying to create example with this bug, so I’ll post it here later.

    Thanks for responses.
    I have managed to solve this. I use jQuery UI dialogs in my application and for registration I have used similar markup as in http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/#modal-form As you can see they use <form /> tag in their code and this tag caused all my troubles. So after removing <form /> from my code, the scrolling works just fine.
