If your tables work perfectly in FF/Safari/etc, and in IE6 your content is positioned properly but the invisible elements of the table (visible only with borders on) extends to the side so that you get a horizontal scroll bar no matter what you do, you might want to try this drastic CSS tweak: <br /> <br /><code> <br />html { <br /> overflow-y: hidden; <br />} <br /></code> <br /> <br />If that doesn't work, try it in body: <br /><code> <br />body { <br /> overflow-y: hidden; <br />}</code> <br /> <br /><disclaimer>Note that this is somewhat hackish, as a last resort if you *know* your tables are *fine* and IE6 is screwing up, and that overflow-x/y are IE6-only and not real CSS. </disclaimer> Fri, 22 Apr 2005 04:48:45 GMT http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/215 ahoyhere (Amy Hoy)
