Getting Rid of The Horizontal Scroll Bar...?
Hello everyone! I hope I am posting this in the right location. Sorry if I am not.
I am working on a new website design. I want the header of my website to stretch completely over to the right WITHOUT having the horizontal scroll bar pop up. My web program is really odd and I cannot really have complete access to the HTML code to turn the tables into 100% so they would fit perfectly across the entire screen.
So, does anyone know of a code to get rid of the horizontal scroll bar permenantly for my website?? I would greatly appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Robby

... I'm sorry, what? You don't have complete control of your HTML code?
Get a new program, or learn to code it by hand, hon. You shouldn't be slave to incompetent programming.

Or just open the file in Notepad
saves on the renaming etc.

Or you could use DIVs instead of tables :S

If you use divs don't use positioning. It doesn't show the same in every browser. Tables would be easier.

What the heck is this advice? I think you mean, necrotic, that divs with absolute positioning cause problems? Floated CSS layouts are more compatible, so far, though we have hopes for the future of absolute positioning options. They can be used together, but some caution/education is required.
Tables are not bad things in and of themselves. They are perfectly useful for tabular data, for instance!
But if the lad can't change his table code, he's not going to be able to start using divs, now, is he?

Nevermind...my program that I am working with is excellent and I will not get rid of it. I know for a fact there is a code to get rid of the horizontal scroll bar. I will get it figured out sooner or later...
Sorry, but I am not a major HTML coder, so I rely a lot on programs

KnightRobby, what program might that be? If it's something someone knows, they may be able to tell you how to fix your code. Or you can post an url and we can tell you outside the program.
I'm glad you like the program, but if you can't control the output code, it's not excellent at all.

I agree with Suzanne on this one. Even I use DW to do my sites in but I can still get to the code and change it where necessary and anyone as a serious website designer shouldn't be having to deisgn to the limitations of a program!
