Why don't I have a scroll bar? - php

Question

I'm making a website in HTML, CSS, and PHP and the page goes way beyond the screen but there is no scroll bar provided by the browser (Safari 5.0.6 and Firefox 14.0.1 on Mac). Is it because I included the PHP? But shouldn't that be there before the page is rendered?
Here is a link: test website
My PHP syntax:
<div id="content">
<div class="wrapper">
<div id="home" class="alert">
Welcome to always4free©! To browse the classifieds, you must first either choose a location or have your location detected.
</div>
<?php include "res/pages/categories.php"; ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
What is going on?
EDIT: Here is my CSS:
body {
background-image: url("http://always4free.org/site/images/bg.jpg");
background-size: cover;
font-family: "Mouse Memoirs",sans-serif;
}
.wrapper {

Answer 1

You have all of your content wrapped inside an element of position: fixed;. The body is not able to retrieve the height of fixed or absolute children and is therefore set to an actual height of 0 - thus eliminating any need for scrolling.
If you move your #content element outside of the fixed header things should be working as expected.

Answer 2

Move your div with id content outside of your header div.
It will solve your problem.

Answer 3

Add a clearfix class with your .wrapper so that it have a height and then use:
.wrapper{
overflow: scroll;
}

Answer 4

add overflow: scroll; in your #header style and change position to relative.
#header {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
border-bottom: 3px solid green;
box-shadow: 0 2px 10px #888888;
height: 50px;
left: 0;
position: **relative**;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
**overflow: scroll;**
}
