how to fix property overflow-y

[greenleaf88]

When I use the W3C CSS Validator, I see "property overflow-y does not exist for this profile, but is validated conforming to another profile"

How can I fix this? I intend to fix my CSS for browsers other than IE.

Overflow-x and -y are in CSS3's box model module. This is currently only in working draft though, so I doubt they will be added to the validator until it hits CR.

Also if I am not mistaken,overflow-x and y are currently accepted only by the IE browser, as a proprietary attribute... so if you're trying to code for other browsers, that's actually the last attribute you would want to use.

Are you simply trying to set overflow parameters, or are you trying to band-aid a scrollbar issue that becomes apparent when your page overflows? If you're setting overflow parameters, try to stick with the CSS2 standards for overflow properties... if you're trying to fix an issue with your site, I'd imagine we'd need some more info in order to help you out.

They're understood by Firefox, although this might only be in versions past 1.0 (I'm not sure - I've been running nightlies for so long...)
