I know this problem has been dicussed before, but I still can't seem to find a solution that I've been able to implement correctly.
I'm getting an unwanted scrollbar in IE and Firefox within my div tag that's set to use an auto overflow. Works fine in Safari.

Simple. Your div is set to a width of 468 pixels with 20 pixel padding on the right side (I'd add some padding on the left as well, by the way). So, that leaves a possible maximum of 448 pixels of width for the content. I say possible, because you have more content than will fit vertically, which creates a vertical scrollbar and reduces the maximum horizontal space by about another 20-25 pixels to a max of around 430pixels (this may change based upon browser used).
But, the first thing you put in there is an image with a width of 468 pixels! That's too wide for the available space, so there is a horizontal scroll bar. The right side of the image is just blank space, you can fix your problem by cropping off the unused right side of the image.
