Actually, scrollbars are pretty consistently supported. The issue is
that overflow-x and overflow-y are not valid CSS 2 properties, but are
IE extensions. If you look at the references for overflow-x and
overflow-y at MSDN[1][2] you'll see that they are proposed additions
to the spec, not parts of the spec. (By comparison, Microsoft
describes overflow as actually being part of the specification.)[3]
The only valid CSS 2 property dealing with scrollbars is overflow.[4]
Give that a shot in place of overflow-x and overflow-y and see how
that does for you.
