scrollbar not showing

Expand Post »
i have these two pages of information which are stored on a php page which then feeds the main div tag on the index page.

the problem i have here is that a scrollbar shows up on the first page but not the second. so to see the rest of the information on the page the user needs to click iun the div and scroll with the mouse or the arrow keys.

i cannot work out for the life of me why this is happening (and i know it is prob starring right at me with two fingers up laughing)

here is the code for the page were the scrollbar is visible and works

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. case 2:
  2.          echo '';
  3.       $db = "pipdb";
  4.       $con = mysql_connect("localhost","***","*******")or die(mysql_error());
  5.  
  6.       mysql_select_db($db)or die(mysql_error());
  7.       $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ***** ORDER BY id DESC") or die(mysql_error());
  8.       echo "<div style=\"height: 500px; width: 450px; overflow:auto;\">";
  9.       echo "<table width=350px border=0>\n";
  10.       // keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get
  11.       while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
  12.          // Print out the contents of each row into a table
  13.          echo "<tr><td>";
  14.          echo $row['date'];
  15.          echo "</td></tr>";
  16.          echo "<tr><td><b>";
  17.          echo $row['title'];
  18.          echo "</b></td></tr>";
  19.          echo "<tr><td>";
  20.          if(!empty($row['image'])) {
  21.          echo '<img src="images/'.$row['image'].'">';
  22.          }
  23.          echo $row['article'];
  24.          echo "</td></tr>";
  25.          echo"<tr><td>&nbsp;</tr></td>";
  26.       }
  27.  
  28. echo "</table>";
  29. echo "</div>";
  30.          break;

and the code where the scrollbar is not visible
