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.
