Re: Example Scrolling Div

scrolling divs are poorly implemented in desktop browsers also. They are
operable from the keyboard in FF on windows. Not so with IE and Chrome...no
keyboard functionality. You can't scroll or select text with caret
browsing. its like the text ceases to exist as far as navigation is
concerned.
