overflow: auto only displays scrollbars if the content is long enough to
need them. If you set the width on the container correctly you will not
need to use horizontal scrolls... I do not like them as well.

There are actually several ways to get around this problem. Position
fixed would be the easiest by far if IE 6 would support it. You
may use
css expressions to make it do this, but then it seems jumpy and
sporadic
(like the example given). Given that about 85% of the visitors to my
website use IE 6 I decided to go an alternate route. The 'scrolling
sidebar' as you call it is actually an absolutely positioned element
with an overflow of hidden on top of a body with an overflow of
hidden.
There is then a relatively positioned (or absolute, whatever you
need to
make it look right with your design) placed 'on top' of it all with
overflow: auto. Ive used this several times, a good example is on
