Scrollbars visible, can't scroll

css, html, overflow

Solution

Fixed it. I removed the following few lines:

.hub ui-page, .hub .ui-body-c,
.ui-overlay-c ui-page, .ui-overlay-c .ui-body-c,
.ui-mobile-viewport ui-page, .ui-overlay-c .ui-body-c {
    z-index: -2;
}

And changed:

.hub #content {
    z-index: -1;
}

To:

.hub #content {
    z-index: 1;
}

I don't think it liked the minus z-indexes, hazard a guess.

Problem

I have the following HTML (demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/49Phn/) which has an inner DIV with an ID of `tabs`: ``` <div data-role="page"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="content"> <div id="tabs"> <div id="j1"> <div class="letter"> <p>Section 1</p> </div> </div> <div id="j2"> <div class="letter"> <p>Section 2</p> </div> </div> <div id="j3"> <div class="letter"> <p>Section 3</p> </div> </div> <div id="j4"> <div class="letter"> <p>Section 4</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="popup-container"> <div id="popup"> <div id="pheader"> <a id="close-popup"></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> ``` And the following CSS (sorry it's so long): ``` /* http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ v2.0 | 20110126 License: none (public domain) */ @font-face { font-family: PhinsterFine;

However, I need this container div to scroll - and it shows the scroll bar (on Windows) - which looks round about the correct height, but isn't actually scrolling. Any idea? The reason it's bound to the screen edges is because it's a mobile app designed to run on multiple screen sizes.
