Overflow must be set somewhere, even if that somewhere is the browser

visible
This value indicates that content is not clipped, i.e., it may be

Thanks David for your response.
If 'overflow' is set to 'visible' by default to body element then
scrollbars will never appear. Right?
Seems like a bug. But where? In specification or in UA?

Seem like that you didn't get the idea...
IMHO, it is just a bug reproduced in both Mozilla and Opera.
They have problems counting margins declared in body element.

Or perhaps that you didn't get the idea.

Your opinion has little bearing on what the spec says.

Well, what does the css spec say should happen? That's sort of
definitive, irrespective of your opinion.
They have problems counting margins declared in body element.
So far, all you've produced is a test showing different behavior in
different browsers and a "guess" as to which one is correct. Not very
convincing.
BTW, I see no borders at all in MSIE 5.5/Win, but I do see borders and
the overflow in Opera at a tiny window width.

OK, I'll try to explain it in different way.
What we know so far:
The default value of overflow attribute is 'visible'.
( http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visufx.html#overflow)
1) this will apply to body also I guess.
2) if so then generally speaking scrollbars should not appear at all in UA's
window.
And sure I am getting this: http://terrainformatica.com/w3/p2/problem1.png
( http://terrainformatica.com/w3/p2/problem1.htm)
in Mozilla and Opera. And they are right according to CSS.
Seems like Internet Explorer always respects intrinsic content dimensions
and is using something like overflow:none
For me personally IE's behavior is more "humanistic " as it follows historic
traditions of HTML.
Since I did not find such thing as overflow:none in CSS spec I have a
question then:
How to say that paragraph dimensions will never be less
than its content in CSS?
Andrew Fedoniouk. http://terrainformatica.com
> > I did not find such thing as overflow:none in CSS spec
No, but overflow:hidden is in that spec.
So what?
<quote>
hidden
This value indicates that the content is clipped and that no scrolling
mechanism should be provided to view the content outside the clipping
region; users will not have access to clipped content. The size and shape of
the clipping region is specified by the 'clip' property.
</quote>
How does overflow:hidden correlate with the task : "to show paragraph in
full" (a.k.a. overflow:none) ?
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visufx...def-visibility
This link is about the 'visibility' property. Any intention or just
mistyping?

Since you're asking for help, might want to tone down the exasperation a
tad.
I see *nothing* in the op to indicate that you want nothing clipped. And
overflow: none, which you now know doesn't exist, makes it sound like
you want the text to not overflow its box, i.e., to be hidden if at all
possible. So I was thinking of overflow: hidden.
Perhaps you could explain, from the top, what exactly you want to happen. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visufx...def-visibility

Should have been further up the page. Instead of visibility, I wanted to
point you to overflow: hidden (another property of overflow is visible,
hence my mistake). http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visufx...opdef-overflow

I just implemented an "overflow: auto" for a div in the main message

This works as expected in Internet Explorer and Opera, but in Firefox
it doesn't. There shouldn't be a scrollbar on the page, but instead, on
the div that shows the messages.
Any idea?
Thanks,
