Using IE6/win...setting this rule on the body doesnt seem to do
anything. Applying it to the html element, however, did remove the
vertical scroll bar. ie;

html {overflow:auto;}

can anyone think of any dangers in doing this?

the css spec says;
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visufx.html#overflow
auto : The behavior of the 'auto' value is user agent-dependent, but
should cause a scrolling mechanism to be provided for overflowing
boxes.

I was going to say that auto 'seems' the default (even though inherit
is), but obviously IE behaves differently when the rule is applied.
