Hi Bart,
Your suggestion worked pefectly. I tried doing something similar except
to the select element (which didn't work). It works both in IE and FF.
The only problem is that in IE you can't change the select boxe's
border, so if you put a border around the containing div, you get two
borders in IE (which looks kind of bad).
Anyway of getting around this in IE? Possibly without using an outer
div?
Thanks
Taras

I've got a select box with multiple="yes" with fixed width.
Unfortunately the content that goes into the box is too wide (and I
can't make the box any bigger due to layout restrictions). Is there
anyway of placing horizontal scrollbars on the select box so that the
user can scroll the box to read the rest of the lines? I'm using FF 1.5
and IE 6.
Does anyone have any solutions to get around this problem?
This should do the trick:
<div style="overflow-x:scroll; width:120px;
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-horizontal;">
<select multiple name="mySelect" size="3">
<option value="1">one two three four five six</option>
<option value="2">seven eight</option>
<option value="3">nine ten</option>
</select>
</div>
Hope this helps,
