I would like to place a relatively positioned element inside a fixed width div with overflow:scroll. It works fine in FF, and in IE6 in quirks mode. But the minute I put IE6 in "standards" mode, the scroll bar quits working and the overflow from the inner element becomes visible outside the outer div.
The code below generates a blue div scrolled horizontally inside a yellow div. If you remove the URL from the doctype in IE6 it works, but otherwise in IE6 the scroll is dead and the blue div escapes the right side of the yellow div. <!doctype HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3c.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd";> <div style="width: 600px; overflow: scroll; margin: 0px 200px; background-color: yellow;"> <div style="width:1500px; height:30px;background-color:blue;position:relative;">This is div text</div> </div> Alan K.
