HTML scrolling area not working in IE8

Hi Guys

I wondered if you could help solve my problem, I have a scrolling area that works fine in FF and in IE on my comp at home but not in IE on some external computers. In IE the box area, which is in a table, aligns to the left of the page, running over the menu buttons and loses the scrolling bars. It's like it's just ignoring the code.

Here a URL of the page: http://www.suziwoods.com/update.htm

And the code I used:
<td width:486px; height:580px; valign="top" style="width:486px; height:580px; position:absolute; OVERFLOW:scroll; top: 159px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; border:1px solid #FFCCFF; padding: 10px; ">

You may want to change the page title. The issue exists in IE7, and only in IE8 if IE8 is running in compatibility view.

For starters, on that above code, <td width:486px; height:580px; is not valid code. Take that out, as it is contained in the style="" attribute. Keep us posted.

Hi
Ok I took out that extra Width and Height code, and changed the page title but it's still doing it. Have I used the wrong code? Also the font is not showing up as the correct one, it's ment to be a script font on menu buttons and titles. Is that just down to personal browser settings and fonts available on different computers?

Try putting this inside the Quote
margin: 0 0; Right now you have it outside the quote which means it isn't being read.

Success! I had the code wrong after some research I changed it to the following which works in the cool browser compatability tester that was posted on here, thanks for that by the way:
<td valign="top" margin: "0 0" >
<div style="width:486px; height:580px; position:absolute; OVERFLOW:scroll; top: 159px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; border:1px solid #FFCCFF; padding: 10px;">

Any clues on how to keep the title font pristina? It currently changes to Times Roman

There's no way this is working.

<td valign="top" margin: "0 0" >
