Firefox 2 scrollbar display issueissue

[nebstar]

Hi, I would really appriciate someones advice, I have been searching for a solution to this problem for ages and cant seem to find one that I can get to work.
I'm new to coding but have managed to created a page using nested divs on a z index so that I can hide and show layers at a click of a button. This all seems to work fine except for in firefox.2 (mac) when the layer with the scrollbar is hidden the scrollbar still appears. this only seems to be a problem in firefox.2

the below link is an example of the problem.

If anyone could offer any tips or advice to solve this issue I would really appriciate it.

Thanks

I'm using Firefox 2 on PC, and the scrollbar hides as it should.

Try this:

The first two things I clicked on said the only fix is overflow:auto, BTW.

Thanks for the link to a solution, I did however find an easy way to do it though dreamweaver

I found a simple solution using behaviours in dreamweaver and the "change property" function

on the hidden div, set the overflow to hidden then used a "change property" with an onclick event to change the overflow to auto.

example below: (I'm new to coding so used what dreamweaver supplied)

javascript: function MM_changeProp(objId,x,theProp,theValue) { //v9.0
var obj = null; with (document){ if (getElementById)
obj = getElementById(objId); }
if (obj){
if (theValue == true || theValue == false)
eval("obj.style."+theProp+"="+theValue);
else eval("obj.style."+theProp+"='"+theValue+"'");
}
}

button onclick event: onclick= "MM_changeProp('div id goes hear','','overflow','auto','DIV')"
