In creating a very simple html page to demonstrate the problem, I realized that the width set at 100% does work correctly in my very small example. So, the issue must be with other html on the page where I am using the scrolling table. If it looks like the issue I am experiencing involves CSS and is on topic for this maling list, I'll post more information. But right now I'm leading to something html related, maybe a table issue. Thank you for confirming that the the scroll on a width of 100% does work the way I had expected. -- Jim Albert ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
