that page is horrible html, javascript. overflow:hidden causes Firefox to remove the scrollbar, as it should. INVALID if you ask me

I have seen another page with overflow:hidden set on the body tag (http://happyshopperllc.250free.com/Radar_Detectors.html - which is just someone trying to spam Google), and again there is no scroll bar but the mouse wheel does allow you to scroll. The W3C spec ( http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visufx.html#propdef-overflow ) states "hidden This value indicates that the content is clipped and that no scrolling mechanism should be provided to view the content outside the clipping region; users will not have access to clipped content. The size and shape of the clipping region is specified by the 'clip' property." In this case it helped me find someone spamming, but technically it is a bug.
