but I need help with it.

I know the site looks like crap, and it may not be the best way to present something, but i'm just trying to figure some stuff out.

Put your mouse over the first button.

Text is loaded into a div, but i need the div to scroll vertically instead of making everything wider. When I try using style="overflow:scroll; it adds the scrollbars before it overflows, so I'm using style="overflow:auto;.

What am I doing wrong?

... it doesn't mess up for you? When I do it, all the images spread out to fit the height of the div... let me add a few more <br>'s

Aha, now I see it. The obvious solution is to use overflow: auto.

<div id="screen" width="348" height="277" style="overflow:auto;"><img src="images/TV1_03.gif" width="348" height="277" alt=""></div>

Try:
<div id="screen" style="width:348px;height:277px;overflow:auto;"><img src="images/TV1_03.gif" style="width:100%;height:100%;" alt=""></div>

CSS and presentational HTML don't mix.

apparently. so if i'm using any css between 1 set of <> i'm going to want to use all css?

You should use all CSS anyway. About the only presentational HTML attributes that are still necessary are cellspacing and cellpadding.
