Force Firefox to show scrollbar?

How do you get Firefox to show scrollbars? The scrollbar shows up fine in other browsers, but not at all in Firefox. Even though there is lots of content on the page, there is no scrollbar, so you can't scroll down to see the content. Very sad.

Can I use CSS for this? I have tried the following with no luck:

<style type="text/css">
html {
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;
}
</style>

Nothing, unless you turn scroll bars off with overflow: hidden; they should appear.

Do we get a url to debug?

Are you using absolute positioning for your entire page?

I'm not using CSS on the page anywhere else. I don't even really need to use CSS, I just want something that will make Firefox show the scrollbar.

Here is the page so you can see it. Remember to view it in Firefox. Go to this link, then click on "Sign up to Volunteer". Depending on your computer, the first screen may not need a scrollbar so choose one of the radio buttons and click "Continue" - this page will definitely need a scrollbar. In Firefox it isn't showing a scrollbar. Thank you for your help.

You have your popup window height set at 800px. Have you tried NOT specifying a height?

I tried not setting any height....it didn't seem to help.

That's good to hear that the scrollbar was showing up on a Mac. I noticed that it wasn't showing up on PC.

In any case, I've changed the window so that it opens as a regular window (target="_blank") and so the scrollbar is now showing up in all versions of Firefox. Thank you for your help, I wish I could have had more time to figure out why my javascript window call wasn't working in Firefox, but in this case I just need to use the old tried n' true html window method.

Hi Webgrrl...maybe try using overflow-y:scroll; property? To me it will really not scroll down because the page exactly fits my browser window...unless you pop it on a new window, it will surely have a vertical scrollbar.
