Hi, let me show you my code first:
<div id="container"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="headlines"> (irrelevant) </div> <div id="left"> <div id="menu_0" class="menu"> <div>some text</div> <div>some text</div> <div>some text</div> (and so on) </div> <div id="menu_1" class="menu"> (as above) </div> (and a few more menu_X divs) </div> </div> #container { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 986px; } #header { width: 986px; height: 100px; } #headlines { width: 395px; height: 20px; float: left; overflow: hidden; position: relative; padding-left: 5px; } #menu { width: 586px; height: 20px; float: left; overflow: hidden; } .menu { display: none; position: relative; } #menu_0 { display: block; } .menu div { height: 20px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; float: left; } Now, the total width of the left-floating descendants of #menu_0 is greater than the width of #menu (that is 586px), so not all the descendants fit within those 586px. In Firefox, Konqueror, Opera and IE the descendants that don't fit in 586px are wrapped and placed in another line. What I need is all the descendants to be placed in one line and when there are descendants that don't fit in the available 586px, I want them to be in the same, one line anyway, just not visible. I have made a simple workaround - added "width: 10000px;" to the .menu class. Unfortunatelly that did the trick only for Firefox, Konqueror and Opera. In IE all the descendants are placed in one line as well but instead of hiding the descendats that don't fit in 586px IE shows them all, those that do not fit in 586px are displayed outside #menu and #container, extending width of the page (a horizontal scrollbar appears). I hope I have explained my problem clearly. If you have additional questions, I'll be happy to provide more information, just please help me solve this issue.
