annoying horizontal scroll

how to get rid of horizontal scroll

[thehelper]

Hi
I am trying to get rid of Horizontal scroll

here is the code
<div style="height:600;width:405px;overflow:auto">

the frame is smaller than the box around it

[DrDoc]

which one has the scroll bar?

you can always change it to

overflow: hidden

[thehelper]

if i put in hidden won't it hide both horizontal and vertical?

This might better be discussed in the CSS forum.

I think you can use overflow-x but I'm not sure how widely supported it is.

perhaps there is there something inside that div which is wider than say 380px (leave room for vertical scrollbar) and that cannot break/wrap like an image or a long url? ~ this would cause a horizontal scroll bar

and btw.. unrelated, but in case it's not a typo you would need "px" on that height too or it will not be honoured
