Hi,
I would like to make my site scroll horizontaly. I found a script that was supposed to do that but when I downloaded it, the content was all vertical. I know that some people don't like horizontal scrolling, but I think it would work best for the design I'm doing. Should I just make the content wide enough for it to make the page go horizontal or is there a script out there that actually works that would make it neater?

as far as i know, all you have to do is create your content with a wide design and the horizontal scrolling will automatically appear.

just remember that someone who has to scroll horizontally on a 800x600 screen resolution might not have to scroll horizontally on a 1024x768 screen resolution.

you could create your table, with all your content in it, and simply specify the width of the table to a certain value (a big one i might add) that would require horizontal scrolling.

but the horizontal scrolling is done automatically.

You could also try a marquee and set it to Horizontal like Grey Cobra used to have for there tutorials.

Did you also check the script to see if you can change it from vertical to horizontal, it is a basic text book error.
