Hi,

I have a fixed centered site that is supposed to check down to 800x600 but for some reason the side scroll still shows up.

I am using css for layout like so:

body
{
text-align: center;
}

div#main
{
margin: 0 auto;
width: 798px;
text-align: left;
}

Where div#main is the main container for the site.

It doesnt matter how i position my contents the scroll bar shows up dowwn below.

Please help

The 800 pixel screen width includes all the browser chrome, window chrome, scrollbars etc. The usable width is less.

Generally you should set the width at about 750px to 760px, with 780px as a maximum.
