Hey Everybody! I'm having some browser-specific issues that I hope someone can help me with.

At my website (Seekyt.com) there is no vertical scrollbar for viewers using Internet Explorer 6, and there is a greyed out, unusable scrollbar for viewers using IE 7.

I've tried all the usual fixes: setting overflow-x: hidden, overflow-y: scroll, remove wrapping divs, setting height and width values, etc. Nothing seems to work.

I don't want to just "ignore IE 6 and 7" viewers, which some people seem to always want to suggest. I'm not against using a javascript file to fix this issue either.

Can anyone give me some advice, or if you know the answer to this specific question because you used firebug, a solution would be appreciated!

I really don't know what's going on with this.

    Everyone is trying to kill off IE6 (including Microsoft) - So you should really not bother trying to cater to 0.1% of your users that might still be on it.

    overflow-x/y is a new feature in css3, and not supported by the old browsers anyway.

    I haven't really looked too much at your css, but make sure that there's no fixed height on your ****/body other than if you have it set to 100% (even then, it might be tricky).

    Just a thought - Try to add a div at the very bottom of your page, like so: <div style="width:100%; clear:both"></div> - That should at least make sure that it's nothing due to height or overflow.

    Regards,

    Thanks Soren!

    Using netrenderer, I can see that a lot of the web is inaccessible to IE 7 and earlier visitors. Even Yahoo.com appears to load without scrollbars. I guess I'll stop worrying so much about it.
