Fixing overflow: hidden in IE for CSS

After stumbling across this problem recently in IE6 / IE7 there are three things you need to make sure of:


overflow: hidden, is applied to the div that you want to hide the text in

position: relative, is also applied. IE seems to get confused if this isn’t there

a width and height are applied to the div


e.g.


.div { width: 882px;

         height: 246px; 

         overflow: hidden;

         position: relative;  }
