check out http://www.yarooo.com ...

take a look at those tabs along the top ... I need a practically unlimited number of them, BUT that'll mean they'll start running off the right hand side of the screen

i was thinking that it could be possible to implement a simple left-right javascript scroller, but i've had no luck thus far.

Could anyone give me a hand to sort it out?

Hmmm... you could try doing something with overflow on a div or something like that. I'm not sure if that would work or no.

That page won't load for me in opera. Actually, it's not loading past the logo graphic in IE either. You could also do what Amazon does sometimes and have two rows of them. If you think about how tabs work in the real world that's what you'd probably do. Start at the left, move as far as you can to the right, then start back at the left again.

ah yeah ... oops

i was doing some tweaking, and messed it completely up, so decided to start again

the only thing really preventing me from doing rows is the fact that the page is going to be part of a custom CMS ... it won't know how wide the divs are

also, there's going to be a potentially unlimited number of them

anyway aside from that, i've been doing a lot of thinking about it - and i've decided to take a slightly different approach - i'm going to use the system developed over at http://moofx.mad4milk.net

instead of tabs ... i'm going to have animated dropdown sliders

if i can get it working, that is - might need help with it at some point
