loss of scrollbars using floating layout

scrollbars disappeared!

[thebrax]

my body css in a floating div style table is

body {
margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
color : #000000;
font-family : Verdana, arial, helvetica, Sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 950px;
max-width: 950px;
}

[the max-width helps to fix the table solidly in mozilla on pc and ie on mac...]

however the page is rendering without scrollbars....is there anyone out there who knows why this might be?

Straight from w3schools

"Overflow property
Value: hidden; The content is clipped, but the browser does not display a scroll-bar to see the rest of the content"

actually ive solved it, it was the overflow bit...still having problems on a mac though, 5.2...surprise surprise
