change width:200px to min-width:200px
perhaps.
Perhaps, because you have given a totally isolated snippet of code, and teh rest of the page could affect things.Dr John

remove the width, or try width: 100% or width:auto;

The default behavior of a DIV is to take up 100% of its parent's width. What you could (in theory) do is set the width of the parent to 200px, then force the paragraph's overflow to "auto", but I can't tell you if it would work without testing it.

Doesn't min-width not work in IE 6?
I need the width to be at least some defined px.
If overflow is set to auto...wont it show a scrollbar?
EDIT: It does show a scroll :-(
EDIT: It works in IE 7 but shows a scroll in FF.

No, it doesn't, but there are ways around it.
