Get Css to only apply to specific content

Hi,
I have a weird litlle problem here...

I have embedded a forum (invision) in my website. This forum uses a stylesheet for all its settings (duh).
I can choose if I want to use it inline or external.
Offcourse, my site also has its own stylesheet to work with.

Because the forum code is on a <div > in my site, the css from the forum messes up my site.

Is it possible to get the forum stylesheet to be only applicable inside the layer that it's on? Inline or linked?

I tried using an iframe instead of a div, but that gives a heap of other trouble (especially cookie-related) so that's not an option...

if you place the forum in a div with a id you can refer all the forums css by placing the id infront of the style.

Code:

simplified example
like 

<div id="forum">
	<div> this is the forum</div>
</div>

then in css. 

#forum div {
        some:style;
}
