Taking I wild guest in which element you want to overflow [1], I say you are talking about the #content div. Add overflow on the y axis. #content{ float:left; width:350px; position:relative; height: 335px; overflow-y:auto; /* add */ } All overflow:visible does is resets the overflow value (the content is not clipped) for an element that already has overflow values of either hidden | scroll | auto. It also resets hasLayout in IE7. ie. div {overflow:auto} div div {overflow:visible} BTW (off topic), you have images on that page totaling 200kb. That is quite excessive. These images can be reduced in size threefold if not more.
