Wrapping issue in Safari

I'm having an issue with a page I've been working on. It behaves fine in all browsers except Safari, and in that browser, when the screen width is narrower than the #container width as defined in the style sheet, it splits the two nested <div>'s within that container element apart and wraps one below the other. I can provide a link to the html/css on request. Any suggestions or would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, gisdood!

This sounds like normal behaviour. What were you hoping to happen? That the page would scroll horizontally?

Exactly. I was hoping that the browser would force a horizontal scrollbar and not break the containing element vertically.

For Safari you could try adding a [blue]min-width:[blue] attribute to the body style:


body {
min-width: 800px;
}

What is happening in other browsers? Do you get a horizontal scrollbar?

Yeah... IE, NN, & Opera all scroll horizontally. The only comment I got back from one bounce list was from a safari user that said it broke the horizontal layout and wrapped the right half.
