Scrolling Within Divs/a Div

[brotonee]

So I'm creating a website, a blog actually, and I'm making it using an image based layout (i.e. a background) and placing content within divs. The site uses Cutenews.

I've made my background and implemented it in my page. I've created my two divs that I need and they work perfectly, except for one little problem. The box on the layout image where the second div lies is a certain size, but the content that goes in that div is too big for the box.

What happens is that the content breaks out of the div an ends up running down the whole page. What I'd like to have happen is for a scroll bar to automagically appear, when need be, and scroll up and down through content in that one div.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about, and here is the page I'm working on.

To make things easier, this is the code for the div in question, and the div proceeding it:

<div style="position: absolute; left: 102px; top: 67px; width: 604px; height: 83px; background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: #FFFFFF; overflow: auto;">This is the masthead

I have tried including the styling and formatting inside the div tag rather than up in the style section, didn't work. I have tried it without the div- container-thing (if you know what I'm getting at).

Can anybody shed some light on what's going on and help me fix it?

Okay. Scratch all of the above. I got things working how I needed them to work, except for one issue.

The content fits in the div nicely and the vertical scrolling works as needed, but the content is still too big horizontally, and I really would rather that it wasn't allowed to overflow horizontally.

<!--Begin Content-->
    <div
     style="position: absolute; left: 350px; top: 100px; width: 315px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;">
 
            <?PHP
            $number=5;
            include("cutenews/show_news.php");
            ?>
 
    </div>
<!--End Content-->

The page is now at: http://tony.celoria.net/utb.php.
Are there any cross-browser fixes for this?
