horizontal scrolling bars

[omair74]

hi all..
I am new with html. So any help, I will highly appreciate it.

Sometimes i have seen web pages which has small horizontal scrolling bar at the bottom of the browser window which controls some part of the page or frame. Does anyone know how to do it?
thanx :)

Welcome to WebmasterWorld omair74.

That is generally considered to be bad...It happens when elements on your page are too wide for the screen resolution of your visitor's browser/window.

Yes, Welcome to WebmasterWorld omair74

Does anyone know how to do it?

If your screen res is 800x600, just put a clear.gif in the bottom of you page mark-up 900x2, but as Bill just stated, most web designers try to avoid that look.

you can use frames or iframes. it may be helpful to you to do a quick search on those terms and view the coding involved to learn more. try htmlgoodies.com.

there are some horizontal scrollers written in dhtml as well. one can be found at dhtmlcentral.com. another is called the geewhiz scroller.

horizontal scrolling can be used nicely for some specific things, say a small gallery or timeline, but try to avoid the practice as much as possible.
