Probelms with Android browsers

Most pages display good, problem scroll bars

I find it complete sensless to design for screens smaller
480x320, the lowest res used at Android cell phones.

My web site shows good ad Android cell phones.

Only problem, scroll bars. They are not available at the standard Android browsers.

The sort of scoll created by

<div style=left:20;top:20;width:900;height:400;overflow:auto>

Here goes a text much higher than 400

</div>

Any strategies to deal with this problem?

What currently happens in this situation on Android? Is the extended content in the DIV simply inaccessible?!

What currently happens in this situation on Android? Is the extended content in the DIV simply inaccessible?!

<div style=width:200;height:200;overflow:auto>

is handled by Android like overflow:hidden

Out of this reason, I made a redesign of the boxes
where the navigation is.

After I display the box with height:500,
I check
document.getElementById('box').scrollHeight
and change the height of the box to be complete
visible without scrolling.

Next problem, how should the box disappear?
Normal with watching the mouse

the element which activates the box
a bridge to the box
the box

When the mouse is not over one of this elements, close the box.

But a touch screen has no onmouseover

Only solution, I found

Surround the box with
<div onclick=closethebox()>

So the box can be closed by clicking outside

Google Analytics shows a great improvement in the engagement of visitors with mobile devices.
