Yes, the "two scrollbar" issue also occurs in IE7. It can be resolved
by removing overflow:auto from div#main, but then IE7 treats
div#tocframe as though it is absolutely positioned (instead of fixed).
Since IE6 (and IE5.5, etc.) doesn't support position:fixed, keeping
overflow:auto in both div#tocframe and div#main keeps the layout
consistent from IE5 to IE7. This solution is a compromise; however,
it would be nice to discover a way to hide the extra scrollbar...
The mouse-wheel scrolling and the links to anchors work in every
browser I've tested. This must be a Konqueror-specific issue.
The attached patch fixes an issue with horizontal scrollbars in
Firefox 2. It simply moves the overflow:auto in div#main to the IE
stylesheet. Since div#main is absolutely positioned, browsers
(excluding IE) do not need this rule.
Thanks,
Patrick
