Interesting. I don't know if a body {overflow: hidden} is supposed to be scrollable, but it certainly is in Mozilla.

According to Ian Hickson's clarification of specification-speak, yes. Being overflow: hidden; simply means that no scrolling mechanism is displayed, but the browser may choose to allow you to scroll by other means, and may also scroll the element automatically if you link to an anchor within it. This is one of the minor differences between overflow:hidden; and clipping.

Is that test page supposed to scroll using the mouse wheel? b/c it does in Firefox 1.0.
