I am using a layout similar to
the one from Dynamic Drive here:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/layouts/item/css-right-frame-layout/
The main content area (white) has overflow set to auto. I have given
the innerTube inside this main content area a border. However if
the contents within this innerTube are greater than
the width of
the main content area, a horizontal scroll bar will appear as expected, but in Firefox these contents will 'overlap'
the border and go off screen (can be retrieved by scrolling horizontally). In other words,
the right hand border remains in place, and
the content just goes over
the op of it, and disappears
behind the right hand column.
In IE it behaves exactly as I want -
the content pushes
the border off screen to be visible only once you scroll over there.
I guess
the easiest thing is to paste
the source code here. If you copy it into a blank file you'll see what I mean. I've just used one really long word to replicate what happens if a wide image is there instead.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.

<p>So I want that border over there ------> to dissappear
behind the right hand column like it does in IE, and be visible once you use
the scrollbar below and scroll to
the right</p>
