Traditions that count are dying. Horizontal scrollbars as "tradition" is trite. I could be closer to your grandfather's age than to yours, and my vision is no longer perfect. Constraining content to the horizontal viewport over the ability to actually read comfortably is obsessive behavior to me. Sounds like a phobia to me :-) Get your Grand Dad a bigger monitor and he'll be happier by far. I believe the thread is dead. The vote offlist seems favorable, though :-) Al Sparber PVII http://www.projectseven.com "Designing with CSS is sometimes like barreling down a crumbling mountain road at 90 miles per hour secure in the knowledge that repairs are scheduled for next Tuesday". ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
