i am trying to get the following code to work on an androind 2.1 phone (HTC Sense UI):
h1 { font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; color: #FFF;
I see you have no width defined. If the element is allowed to get arbitrarily wide there is never going to be any overflow >within> the element. The element overflowing its parent wil not give you the desired effect.
