I am tring to get my page to display vertically in a fluid layout. I cannot figure out why the overflow control will not control the DIV(logonnavigationdivtest).

Using IE8

My Page code

<html>

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<link rel="stylesheet"
	href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/theme/IRStyles.css"
	type="text/css">

<body>

<DIV id="maincontainer">
	<DIV id="logonheaderdiv">Header
	</DIV>
		<DIV id="logonnavigationdivtest">

		</DIV>
	<DIV id="logonfooterdiv">Footer
	</DIV>
</DIV>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/JavaScript/jquery-1.3.js"></SCRIPT>
<script type="text/javascript">
	$(document).ready(function(){
		initialize();
	});	
</script>

</body>
</html>

Not related to your problem: why do you use case so inconsistently? It makes the page very hard to inspect.

I am afraid it is from a habit I have of copy and paste.

As to my problem. If I set the top and bottom attributes of a div tag in my css why won't it strech the div tag to these settings?
