Crossbrowser percentage width inconsistancy

2 New Member

I am trying to create a film strip of thumbnails in a photo gallery type page.

I have an idea to create a div with all the thumbnails in it and then use another div to contain that so it can be shaped to where I want the strip to fit. (For example I don't necessarily want the strip to be flush with either side of the browser window). I have been experimenting and found something that is almost right but I need some help with the following points:

1) The following code renders as I would expect it to on Opera(9.01) and IE6 but not Firefox (1.5.0.6). In firefox the right hand side of the strip dissapears off the side of the browser and causes a horizontal scrollbar. How can I fix this in FF so it looks the same as in IE and O?

2) I want to be able to offset the thumbnails by a pixel amount such that I can use java script to "scroll" through them. I tried using left: -100px in the imageBoxInside but this doesn't work... Any suggestions?
