Part of the problem is that the page was written for a particular screen size or resolution and with a specific font size. If your browser window is smaller than maximized and has less than 1024x768 resolution, there will be a horizontal scrollbar. Of course, that resolution requires making fonts larger, which then causes display problems. It's just a poorly designed page. -- David E.
