CSS - Overflow Property Question

My CSS works in IE and Mozilla but not Netscape or Opera
I have a 2 column website, built with 2 relative position DIVs, with overflow set to auto. Because of this, I turned off overflow on the body tag and on the html tag (overflow: hidden;). I didn't want to have 2 scroll bars on the right side of the window. When I first tested this on 4 browsers, IE, Mozilla, Netscape and Opera, it worked great, only having one scroll bar on the right side of the window when the page was longer than the window height. But when I moved to a new host server recently, I discovered that Netscape and Opera stopped working. They now simply give me blank screens. When I remove the "overflow: hidden;" specifications from the body tag and the HTML tag in my CSS file, Netscape and Opera once again display my web pages. However, now I get 2 scrollbars on the right side of all 4 browsers (in IE, the second scrollbar isn't actually there, but the space holder for the scrollbar is there).

Is there a cross browser way for doing what I'm trying to do? Or am I faced with detecting the browser type on the server-side, and setting the style sheet appropriately?

Here are the related parts of my CSS:

/* CSS styles */
BODY {
font-family : Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ;
font-size : 10pt;
background : Black;
color : White;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border-width: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}


HTML {
overflow: hidden;
}


#LeftNavDIV {
position:relative;
width:185px;
height:100%;
float:left;
padding:2px 0px 0px 0px;
margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;
border:1px solid white;
overflow:auto;
}


#ContentDIV {
position:relative;
height:100%;
width:75%;
float:right;
padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;
margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;
border:0px dashed #336699;
overflow:auto;
}

Is there such a thing as using an alt property for <img> tag? This would be awfully useful for SEO

I'm pretty new to css but now use one css file for all of the formatting of my entire website. The only problem I see with that (I say problem because I can't figure out a way around it) is that all of my hyperlinks throughout the website have only one normal state, hover state, active state and visited state. Is there a way to make more than one hyperlink set of formats? Like if I wanted to make one for each page? I could do something like ahomepage:link, ahomepage:visited, ahomepage:active or something???

Code:

a:link, a:visited, a:active  { font-size:12px; font-weight:normal; font-family: times; text-decoration:none; color : #000000 }
a:hover                      { font-size:12px; font-weight:normal; font-family: times; text-decoration:underline; color : #000000 }

Question:
I have two class below. What I want is when I change the padding-top property value in div.content-full, I also want the padding-top property value in the div.content change to the same value



div.content-full
{
float:left;
width:100%;
padding-top:10px;
margin:0px;
}

div.content
{

float:left;
width:70%;
padding-top:06px;
margin:0px;

}

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks for all the continued help/support. . . Makes learning CSS so much easier!

Question: I set the html up like this on purpose to grasp the concept. <p> tags are block level containers. So each new set of <p> tags should equal start on new line.

w/the float property holding a value of left, it floats all content to the left.

Since each instance of float occurs in its own container...the two different <p> sets should not be affected.

In short, the password: paragraph should be on a new line, not both on the same line. There should be no need to clear it because they are in their own containers - which are block level.

Where is my logic/understanding of CSS flawed?

HTML:
Code:

<div id="clientLoginBoxBody">
	<form action=#">
	<br />
	<p class="user">Username:</p>
						
	<p class="pass">Password:</p>
      </form>
</div>

CSS:
Code:

#clientLoginBoxBody p.user, p.pass {
float: left;
margin: 0;
margin-left: 10px;
padding: 0;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: right;
}

Will the -moz property ever become a valid CSS property. when I validate my CSS on w3.org I get errors. I remove all propertys that have a -moz in front of it and it is 100% valid.

ALSO ...

Is there a way to mask parts of the css from the validator or have a separate CSS file that can be masked from the validator to make it appear to be 100% valid..

Thanks

Ok what i want to happen is that when person clicks on a link i want a div to appear/be visible underneath that link. But i want that div to not take any space unless i click on a link.

I recently did something similar BUT the div was taking the space but was just hidden.

This style is use useful or not

@property-group title-style() {
color: #004080;
font-weight: bold;
}

@property-group standard-vmargins() {
margin: 1.33ex 0;
}

title,
subtitle,
titleabbrev {
display: block;
property-group: title-style();
property-group: standard-vmargins();
}


This is not support IE...

My documentation for css shows that content: url(); works in navigator but not in ie. The info I've got is dated. Does the content property work in the newer ie browsers?

I'm trying to create some links that swap background images when you mouseover them. The non-CSS solution (which looks exactly how I want it to look) is located he

My attempt at creating a CSS equivalent of those links is located on this page:

http://84.9.221.75/domains/backingt...Musicindex.html

I just need some help with the CSS I'm using on the latter page...I read up a little on how to do this, but it's obvious I'm still doing something wrong...

I need the buttons and the text inside the buttons to line up and appear like they do in the first URL....can anyone give me some pointers here? Thank you.

I am trying to figure out how I can get this red curve to align to the bottom of the page, while also being able to move up and down with the size of the browser window.

Any help would be great.

I am wondering if there is some way to make a <div> layer automatically expand to the full height of the screen similar to the way that one would use width=100% when talking about the width of a page.

I have a layer that I want to extend to the bottom of the page no matter what resolution the user has on their screen. Maybe the layer could just extend all the way until the next layer?

Any Ideas?

Thanks

My page looks decent in Firefox but in IE the overflow property doesn't seem to be working. Perhaps you can give me some pointers as to which tags may be messing up the display in Internet Explorer.
