Thanks for the replies, I have tried this method and it does work but is not the look that I would like to have (overflow:auto).
I thought that I might be missing something. Here is a link: http://soxc.org/css/index.html In IE 6.0 it works like I would like but then I have some float div issues with a sidebar that I have in the full version. I have found a way to set the min-width even in IE (bit of a hack thou) so I guess I could conditionally set the class attributes for the pages that have wide tables. I was just hoping for a cleaner method. <snip> Large data table are a serious problem in css-based designs. Seriously. A table based layout has one advantage, namely that the width for the <table> element means more like 'min-width'. It the page contains a large data table, then the parent layout-table(s) expand to contain that data-table. CSS boxes don't work like that. Width is width, and constrained by the width of the viewport. One solution is to wrap your data-table in a <div>, and set the overflow property to 'auto' for that div. If the data-table is to wide to fit in the available space. the enclosing div will generate a horizontal scrollbar, allowing the user to access the (hidden) the data. If you show a url with a sample of the problem, we might be able to suggest better or more precise suggestions.
