XHTML & IE6 overflow:hidden problem

How can I get this CSS de开发者_JAVA百科claration to work in IE6 please?

#mask{width:725px;height:495px;margin:0;border:0;padding:0;overflow:hidden;}

The problem is the content which is much larger than 725px and exactly 495px (much like a horizontal scrolling thingy) does not get hidden in IE6.

Edit:

1. The background images of the hidden divs shows.

2. I am also using Twin-Helix PNG Fix 2.0 Alpha.

Thank you.

This will be happening because you have relatively positioned elements inside your #mask container.

This is due to a bug where relatively positioned children are not correctly clipped and hidden for a parent element with overflow: hidden applied in Internet Explorer 6 and 7. The same problem also exists for overflow: auto and undoubtedly overflow: scroll as well.

It can be fixed by also applying position: relative to the element you are setting the overflow on.
