Thanks Jim, all of these ideas have crossed my mind but none are ideal :/ Just to add to this, I can find absolutely no way at all to allow keyboard access to overflow'ed divs in Mozilla 1.0 (even adding a link to the scrollable area does not work). Does it support a tabindex-alike on all elements via CSS by any chance? Of course, on top if this all, there's the fact that Opera treats overflow:auto as overflow:hidden - a *major* (and I believe against the CSS specs) problem. -- Tom Gilder http://tom.me.uk/
