How to get page to scroll horizontally in Firefox

kingdomweb · 02-22-2008, 07:08 PM

I have designed a webpage whcih requires the user to scroll horizontally across the page to imitate walking along a wall reading posters. It works OK in IE but not in Firefox (it just scrolls everything up and down).

Does anyone have a fix for this?

The page url is : www.deepseed.com/testimonials.html and is a prototype.

Thanks in advance.

will this work for you?

place it in the head of that page

Code:

* body  {width:3000px; overflow:visible;}

was it supposed to be overflow-x:auto;

overflow-x:auto; only works in FF and IE. You actually don't need overflow at all. Just setting a width on the body is fine.

How do i get the scrollbar to appear in center of page or maybe 2/3 down on page to look similar to this?
