What you need to do is change the overflow value from "scroll" to "auto". Scroll gives both horizontal and vertical bars whether you need them or not. Also IE for some reason requires the innermost box to be slightly smaller than its outer boxes for this to work correctly. Finally that means if you want to change your background do so in an outer Div rather than inside an inner one.
