Re: [WSG] horizontal scroll on menu
You do want to set the width on that div, that way the nested elements
stretch to its width.

RE: [WSG] horizontal scroll on menu
There is the overflow-y: scroll; property to force a scroll bar on the vertical axis. You will still need to manage the width of your list to work with the new scrollbar.

Re: [WSG] horizontal scroll on menu
This appears to be a box model width issue. You have a couple of options. 1. Use a hack to send a thinner width to firefox (adds padding to width) 2. Remove any padding/margins/borders from elements that have a specified width 3. My favorite (and in discussion currently on this list) is to wrap your padded elements with a div that states the width and 0 padding and margins) Joe Taylor http://sitesbyjoe.com kvnmcwebn wrote: Hello, A client has requested that a long menu be contained in a fixed hieght situation with a vertical scroll bar.

Re: [WSG] horizontal scroll on menu
You could try adding overflow: hidden; to .navcontainer ul which removes the horizontal scrollbar for me, not tested in IE only firefox. Hope thats of use. kvnmcwebn wrote: Hello, A client has requested that a long menu be contained in a fixed hieght situation with a vertical scroll bar.
