Yeah, what a great fix for Opera! I might add that whoever came up with
that css is a bit smarter than me... However, I might also add that the
necessity for such tactics is rather depressing.

As for the scrollbar issue, after viewing your example I adjusted my
original page accordingly and, viola, it worked. This surprised me because
I'm sure a problem existed when I originally constructed it, something over
a year ago. Maybe there was a pertinent ie6 update and/or I vaguely
remember having trouble with the actually redundant overscroll:auto; in
earlier versions of Mozilla/Firefox. Whatever, it seems to work now, so I
implimented it online and found no anomalies with the "big three".

Incidentally, thanks for sharing your knowledge. It surely helped me build
a better page, which, after all, is why we really are here in the first
place. (...It was also beneficial in reminding me that I don't know
everything, something I tend to forget occasionally.)
