Its a really bad idea to mix absolute (pixels) and relative (em's and percentages) values. Use one or the other, (you can use em's and percentages together, because 1 em = 100% of the user's base font size). Also if you are using absolute positioning to bring your div#defList to an offset of 50% top and left, why are you then using negative margins? Use the offsets only. Negative margins are not always consistent across browsers when using positioning or floating.
Set all items to a margin:0, padding:0 first to make sure you are consistent across browsers, then add padding and postive margins to your elements as needed. Also change your overflow:scroll to overflow:auto. the scroll value will ALWAYS place both vertical and horizontal scroll bars on an item. auto will only place the ones necessary to scroll your content.

It is based on DIV's and DL's not IFRAME's so I do not know if it will help or not. But the if you look at the width of the basic div (div#defList) is 300px and the width of the dl inside it (div#defList dl) is 268px allowing 32px for the scroll bar. div#defList { width: 300px; height: 200px; position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 50%; margin-top: -75px; margin-left: -150px; padding: 0; border: 2px solid #006; background-color: white; text-align: center; z-index:2000; } div#defList h2 { border: 0; font-size: 100%; position: relative; } div#defList h2 a { position: absolute; background-color: #DDD; color: black; top: 0; right: 0; font-size: smaller; padding: .25em; border: 1px solid black; text-decoration: none; } div#defList dl { margin: 0; padding: 0 1em; height: 174px; width: 268px; position: absolute; bottom: 0; left: 0; text-align: left; overflow: scroll; } -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
