Umm actually thinking of a container "x" pixels long that I can hold images
in so that they can be scrolled horizontally. This is the kind of effect
acheived in Flash with only a little effort but in CSS?

At the moment, I'm using the following code:

<div style="display: block; width: 692px; height: 110px; overflow: scroll;
overflow-y: hidden ! important;">
  <div style="width: 3000px;"><!-- this width is the total width of all
objects in the conatiner-->

    <a href="javascript:SwapPic('galleryLrg01.jpg')"><img
src="images/gallerySml01.jpg" width="100" height="100" border="0" alt=""
/></a>
    <a href="javascript:SwapPic('galleryLrg02.jpg')"><img
src="images/gallerySml02.jpg" width="100" height="100" border="0" alt=""
/></a>
    <a href="javascript:SwapPic('galleryLrg03.jpg')"><img
src="images/gallerySml03.jpg" width="100" height="100" border="0" alt=""
/></a>
    <a href="javascript:SwapPic('galleryLrg04.jpg')"><img
src="images/gallerySml04.jpg" width="100" height="100" border="0" alt=""
/></a>
    etc...

  </div>
</div>


yick! a second almost usefuless nested <div> tag! Also, If I want to
populate this dynamically, then I'm going to have to work out the total
width of all the scrolling objects each time! How can I get rid of this?

:o)

make sure to layout your content horizontally, so that overflowing
content will overflow to the right (for example). overflow-x and
overflow-y are CSS3 and are not well-supported at the minute, as far as
i know, so i wouldn't recommend those properties.

<div style="overflow:auto;">
<span>foo</span><span>foo</span><span>foo</span><span>foo</span>
</div>

hope that helps,
