i have a website that has a DIV element with auto overflow. The scrollbar
appears as needed but when it does, internet explorer mis-calculates the
height of the "Slider" part of the scrollbar! if you drag the slider down,
once it hits what it thinks is the bottom, the slider suddenly shrinks and
jumps up the scrollbar! this happens several times before i manage to get to
the actual bottom! if this makes no sense please look at
http://www.wowcollection.com.au/catalogue.php from i.e.

Does anyone know if this is a known bug?

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

I had a look at your page and inspected it with Debug-bar
(http://www.debugbar.com).

As well as the scrolling problem you mentioned (I think this is related) the
div (id=head) takes the top z-index when the page is resized and its
contents is hidden. I think this is what happens when a user scrolls the
"main" div and the contents disappears.

Ah... here it is in your stylesheet... body z-index=0 (your stretched
background image), #head z-index=0, #main z-index=5,

Give your head div a non-zero z-index... I have a feeling though that this
will blow away the effect of a transparent background though.

For styling issues with IE you can also download the MS Developers toolbar

Hi rob,

Thanks for the suggestions! Tried changing the z-index's as you suggested
but it dosent make a difference! its not that the content is dissapearing, it
is all still there, it is just that the height of the scrollbar does not
match the height of the div.

Have just downloaded the debug toolbar though! thanks for the link.

Hi Chris,

You page is too complicated and copy protected for me to warrant spending
much time on it. Persevere with the debug bar it will prove invaluable. If
it is not z-order (the 'main' div is hidden by the 'header' div on my
machine when I resize the page/IE window), then I am guessing that it will
be positioning.

positioniseverything.org may provided you with some insight into IE's div
positioning features.
