</div>

Is there a way to get the scrollbar to accept the padding from the div for positioning? Or should I use a different method to position the div?

The way it is now, the scrollbar goes all the way to the top of the div and doesn’t accept the padding for positioning.

[

```auto

.oneColElsCtr #mainContent {
    width: 900px;
    height: 540px;
    overflow:auto;
    padding-left: 75px;
    padding-top: 100px;

```
