Ah, that code. What you first need to do is put a lot of random text inside the DIV. Just for now, so you can clearly see where your DIV is going or what's happening to it. It should look like this:

CODE

<div class="content" style="position: absolute; left:50%; margin-left:0px; top:0px; width:0px; height:0px; overflow: auto;">
Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah.
</div>

Remember, it's just for now. Once you've positioned it to your liking, you can go ahead and change the words into your own information. What you first need to do is change the height and width pixels. That'll determine how big your DIV scrollbox will be. Then, start playing around with the margin-left and top pixels, which will determine where your DIV scrollbox will be.
