I've had this probem in the past, and the way I fixed it last time was by simply removing reset.css and resetting everything myself.

See this page:

Notice the blue and red columns and how there is a scrollbar on their containing div.

Both are of the correct widths to fit inside the container, but Firefox just keeps putting a scrollbar there!!

I've tried adding a clearing <br /> before the closing tag of the containing div, but no luck.

Does anybody have any ideas what it might be??

Thanks

I didn't find any problem. I dont know why U have.

Well the scrollbar is there when it shouldn't be, FF on Mac and Windows.

Unless you're just a spammer who wants people to click the link in your sig?

Try increasing the size of the div that is being asinged the scrollbar by a few pixels (5 should be more than enough). From what I see in FF and Chrome the space is just slightly too small and therefore the scrollbars on the right shows up.

I don't think it's a height issue as the div should overflow automatically.

I did notice earlier on that if I do specify a height then it does indeed remove the scrollbar, however I need it so that it can expand to any height.

Thanks anyway though

With nothing much in it, the #page is too small vertically. As a test, if you put a min-height on #page, you'll see that the scrollbars go away. So, once you get some real content in there, the scrollbars won't appear.

Wow yeah, you're right! Thanks, I never would have got that!

Just out of curiosity, are there really many advantages to using reset.css? I normally just tend to add something like:

* {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    border: 0;
    list-style: none;
    outline: none;
}

to the top of my stylesheet. In fact, I find I have to add some of it anyway, even if I do use reset.css.

The reset helps to sort of level the playing field so you start off with a clean slate, no default styles. I don't use the whole Meyer reset, I use just portions of it.

I see, thanks
