I just implemented an "overflow: auto" for a div in the main message
window: http://www.auriance.com/docs/interaction/

This works as expected in Internet Explorer and Opera, but in Firefox
it doesn't. There shouldn't be a scrollbar on the page, but instead, on
the div that shows the messages.

Any idea?
Thanks,

Yes - I suspect the problem is the "height:100%"

When I look in Firefox's DOM inspector, the div in questions is set to
"overflow: scroll;". If I change it to auto with DOM inspector, it
works as I think you expect.

Of course it will not work with "overflow: scroll;" and contrary to what
the OP said, it does not work in either IE or Fx, with "overflow:
auto;", if no height is provided for the div and it works in both if a
height is provided for the div (the div needs dimension - i.e. scrollbar
to which depth).
