The problem is that that elements arranged inside this scrollable area have
quite a lot of CSS governing their layout. When you attempt to use a div
element with restricted dimensions and scrollable content, IE draws the
scrollbars to the correct size, but then draws all the content over the
top--and outside the boundaries of the scrollable area, as though it were
just inline stuff at full width.
Very odd, but it works absolutely fine in other major browsers so I know the
underlying markup and CSS is sound.
