Unless something changed very recently overflow-x/y has never worked  
for me in Safari.  That sort of seems like the missing piece to me.   
IE & Firefox can be worked with, but Safari only seems to support  
overflow:auto; as far as I've seen.

Does anyone know a way to force Safari to emulate overflow-x?  I've  
always had to resort to some goofiness with display:inline; and white- 
space:nowrap;

It'd be nice to at least have control over the two default installed  
browsers (Safari & IE) and the top 3rd party browser.
