In which browser? Can I see the page? I've never yet encountered this
problem. Maybe you should use overflow: auto. It only shows scrollbars when
they're actually needed.

NN6 handles overflow fine. I never saw the collapse you mention, but
recently I found out some interesting stuff about overflow in IE5Mac. See
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/js/index.html?browsers5.html#ie5mac for a summary.

Concluding: overflow: auto should work, except in Opera. iframes would also
work in Opera.

Or show the page to us.
