A common objection to horizontal layout is that it's not possible with today's browsers to jump to a local anchor to the left or right of the current cursor position (only above or below), making sub-content on a horizontal page even less possible to bookmark as content in sub-frames. I can't recall off the top of my head whether it's possible to scroll sideways programmatically with JavaScript, but even if so that wouldn't be a CSS solution. One way I can see to address this layout with CSS (plus server-side and/or client-side scripting to facilitate page navigation) would be to compress all the side-by-side panels to very narrow columns, opening up only the current panel to its full width -- rather like a book. But you might not find this idea appealing if you really want to explore horizontally *scrolling* content. Tangentially, one of the most effective uses of horizontal layout I've ever seen is the Flash aspect of Gregory Colbert's photography site http://ashesandsnow.org/ although quickly checking back there today it looks as though he may have abandoned it. It was a long horizontal page, topologically circular (left & right edges connecting), in which mouse movements caused the page to scroll to the left or right revealing various photographs. It was beautifully done -- terribly inaccessible, but beautiful -- but then maybe I'm just a sucker for Colbert's exquisite photography.
