I am doing a page to be used on my company's intranet. Everyone is running IE6, so cross browser compatibility is not an issue.

My javascript contains a DIV tag (containing HTML written using a Javascript function). When the user clicks on a link to print, it calls a routine which reformats the page for printing. How can I get this routine to hide the <DIV> tag's scrollbars? I'm sure it's obvious, but I can't access the scrollbar's visibility element. I've been using the following instead:

showorder.style.overflow='hidden'

Where am I going wrong?

Excellent, thanks very much for your help. I've just noticed that I used &quot;overflow-x&quot; and &quot;overflow-y&quot; in the DIV tag's style, which is why it didn't work before (This project has been going for some time now!!!)
