Question

I have the following DIV in I.E. (version 9 and 8) :

<div stlye="width:820px;height:350px;overflow:auto"> some large text blah blah .... </div>

both horizontal and vertical scroll bars display right on all browsers except IE, it only displays the horizontal one, and then, I have to scroll vertically using the mouse.

is there a solution for this problem ?
thanks in advance.

I tryed this snippet with every browsers (including IE 7, 8 and 9) and I have no problems.
Your style attribute is misspelled but I guess it’s a typo…

Optionally, you can try this instead of “overflow:auto;” :

    overflow-x: auto;
    overflow-y: auto;

But this is the normal behaviour of “overflow:auto;”.
