Why doesn't my webpage scroll in Internet Explorer 8?

Question

So I've spent a significant amount of time coding and designing this webpage, and it works perfectly in every browser I've tested it in: IE7, IE9, Firefox, Chrome, Safari. But when I view the webpage in IE8 (and only IE8), the vertical scroll is disabled. The scroll bar is there all right, but it's turned off and I can't use it or the mouse scroll wheel.

I'll post the code for the webpage if I absolutely have to, but first I wanted to see if anyone had ever heard of this happening before or had any initial thoughts.

Answer 1

Okay, I figured this out. If you put height: "100%"; in the html tag of your page's CSS stylesheet, it will break scrolling in IE8, but other browsers will still work. Go figure.

Answer 2

Here is a hack way of getting the scrollbar to work with a height of 100%. Not the best solution but it now scrolls in IE8.

html {
    overflow-y: hidden\9;
}
html, body {
    height: 100%\9;
}
body {
    overflow-y: scroll\9;
}
