That said, "overflow-x" and "overflow-y" are part of the CSS 3 working 
draft, and AFAIR, do work in the latest versions of Gecko (Firefox 1.5):
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box/#the-overflow-x

I'm not sure what the level of support is in other browsers. Before 
Gecko supported the new overflow properties, it was possible to 
manipulate the scroll axis using this proprietary syntax:

overflow: -moz-overflow-x

and

overflow: -moz-overflow-y
