css scroll ok in IE not in Mozilla

[Larry]

I'm trying to convert my site to css and have setup a test template, url
below. In IE the center scroll text area works fine and is centered. In
Mozilla the scroll text box is centered left and the scroll only works
if you move the slider bar. I have used the scroll feature separately
from a css stylesheet and found that in Mozilla you had to 'focus' in
the field before the scroll worked. How does one do this using a
full-blown stylesheet? [or is it possible?]

A few things first "Quebec - Bed and Breakfast Site Review" I would have
made that an iframe. second if possible try making the table center.

I have used this script:
<!-- Scrolling cell script -->
<style type="text/css">
#scrollDiv{
height:200px;
overflow:auto;
}
</style>
in a few places and it works fine except in Mozilla you have to select
[click in] the table before it will scroll. With the embedded script
that doesn't work. The table is centered in IE, not in Netscape. There
too I'm not sure why.
Any ideas?

you don't really need any script at all. you can just use .css to set the
overflow property to that cell to "auot" but you'll have to give the cell a
fixed height or it'll just "stretch" thereby not needing to scroll.

To center a div in Firefox you need to add:

margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;

to your CSS for #scrolDiv

Not that it will necessary work on that page, it has too much inline font
tags, and way too many divs, some of which seem to be absolutely positioned
and that causes problems in Firefox (didn't check in IE)

Cheryl thanx for the margin hint. Just added 50px each side and worked ok.
However this does not answer the original question and that is why does
the scrollbox work
in IE and will not in Mozilla [1.6] even if you select the table in
Mozilla? You must use the slidebar to navigate.
[on my system anyway]

you don't really need any script at all. you can just use .css to set the
