mobile browser not allowing scrolling - css

Question

I just tested my new site with my android phone and I am not able to scroll anywhere on the page. On Firefox, opera, ie, and chrome desktop browsers I get vertical scroll when needed. In my html, body css rule I've got overflow-y to scroll; Width should not be scrolled. I'm probably missing something simple here but I've never come across this in any other sites I've done.
Here's my css for the site:
#charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
#body{
min-width: 900px;
width: 75%;
background-size: cover;
background-image: url(../graphics/back2.jpg);
position: relative;
margin: 40px auto;
padding: 10px;
border-style: groove;
border-width: 5px;
border-color: #000;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
a:link, a:visited, a:active{
text-decoration: none;
color: inherit;
}
a:hover{
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: underline;
}
html, body{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow-y: scroll;
background-image: url(../graphics/craig-smith-background.jpg);
line-height: 25px;
}

#left-col{

text-wrap: normal;
overflow: hidden;

text-indent: 10px;
}
#footer{
width: 85%;
height: 40px;
background-color: #999;
text-align: center;
margin: 10px auto;
padding: 0px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
border-style: groove;
border-width: 2px;
border-color: #999;
}
#project-description h1{
text-align: center;
font-size: 36px;
}
.project-description h2{
color: #333;
font-weight: bold;
}
.project-description{
border-style: inset;
border-width: 3px;
border-color: #333;
margin: 10px;
padding: 5px;
}
.project-description p{
margin-left: 70px;
text-indent: 0;
}
table{
border-spacing: 0;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
td, th, tr{
padding: 0;
line-height: 20px;
}
And here's a link the live site.

You don't need to give the body and html tags the overflow-y: scroll; style. That is resulting in a double scrollbar which is failing in mobile browsers. You don't even need to specify that as it is default behavior. You may want to set overflow-y: scroll; and overflow-x: hidden; on the body tag only.
