Hiding the IE built in vertical scroll bar.

I've done this. I just can't seem to repeat the process. I don't want IE's vertical scroll bar. I have tried overflow:hidden, overflow:none and can't seem to kill the scroll bar. I'll handle it myself with a div and set the overflow on that. Here is my html and css.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
	<title>Positioning Divs With CSS</title>
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="divstyles.css" />	
</head>
<body>
<div id="overwrap">
	<div id="header">
		<div id="logo">This is my logo</div>
		<div id="company">This Is My Company Name</div>
		<div id="motto">This is my company's motto.</div>
		<div id="othertop">The rest of the header</div>
	</div>
	<div id="navigate">Navigate here</div>
	<div id="maincontent">My main content</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Code:

body{
	margin:0;
	padding:0;
	background-color:#FF66FF;	/* pink */
	overflow:hidden;
}

div#header{
	position:absolute;
	top:0;
	left:0;
	height:10%;
	width:100%;
	background-color:gray;
}

div#logo{
	position:absolute;
	top:0;
	left:0;
	height:100%;
	width:15%;
	background-color:blue;
	/*border:medium solid green;*/
}

div#company{
	position:absolute;
	top:0;
	left:15%;
	height:60%;
	width:70%;
	background-color:green;
}

div#motto{
	position:absolute;
	top:60%;
	left:15%;
	height:40%;
	width:70%;
	background-color:limegreen;
}

div#othertop{
	position:absolute;
	top:0;
	left:85%;
	height:100%;
	width:15%;
	background-color:magenta;
}

div#navigate{
	position:absolute;
	top:10%;
	left:0;
	height:85%;
	width:15%;
	background-color:beige;
}
	
div#maincontent{
	position:absolute;
	top:10%;
	left:15%;
	width:85%;
	height:85%;
	background-color:#00FF99;
	overflow:auto;
}

OK The hidden parameter has to be in the HTML tag, not the body tag.
