Maybe the content inside the <div> has things extending passed your width for your <div>. Try extending your width on your <div> and see if anything changes.

Won't that only work in *some* browsers?Typically you should use:

overflow-y: scroll;overflow-x: hidden;

Overflow:auto; should work in *all* browsers...http://www.quirksmode.org/css/contents.html#link4

Odd, I remember sometimes in past experience it hadn't exactly worked the way I intended (i.e.: It was nearly identical to overflow: visible). Maybe I'm wrong.
