RE: bad horizontal scroll bar

I think from memory that if you have a style in your body tag of:

Overflow: scroll

It will put horizontal scrollbars in IE. The other alternative that I
can think of is that you have an image that's pushing it out due to bad
code or something that only shows in IE for some reason. If this doesn't
help let me know and I shall examine the code of the page.

Subject: bad horizontal scroll bar

Techniquers,

I have a *framed* page that when viewed at semi normal setting of 800 x
600,
on IE5, i get a horizontal scroll bar in my main body (right hand)
frame. It
only scrolls a fraction of an inch, but still it's there. It is *not*
there
on NN4.x, or Opera 5 at any screen monitor settings. It's not even there
if
I'm browsing with IE5 at 640x480! Again, ONLY there if I'm viewing IE5
at
800x600.

Now I am experimenting with CSS, so there's a LOT of style sheet AND
font
tags AND tables still going on there. Could that have anything to do
with
it??

The page is located at:
http://www.wildbirdsac.com/
then choose "Wild Bird News" in the left navbar/frame,
then click on the "For an online sample of the Wild Bird News, click
here"
link in the main body / right-hand side of the page. (i know, "click
here"
is lame. Baby steps).

And please ignore the site itself. A major work in progress, and no alt
tags, semi-screwy/not finished navigation, mixed up fonts/css/tables, a
million miles away from passing any sort of validation etc etc etc. I
just
can't figure out this dumb horizontal scroll bar. And I know the page in
question is WAAAAY too long and full of pictures. It's an experiment.

Anyways, as always, MAJOR tia,
