Some months ago, I'm sure that I was pointed in
the correct direction to rectify this problem but
I was in the process of rectifying several other
problems at the time and now I can't find the
relevant post !!!

There's a horizontal scrollbar appears on all of
my pages . . . how do I get rid of it ?
http://www.ian-stewart.eu/

From memory, it was to do with my page width
settings in 'align.css' (which does validate)

Any help appreciated.

Harder to get rid of scrollbar with

#page { /* Settings for full page width */
width: 75em;

than it is to scalp a white man with one hand.

This is a variation on an old American Indian proverb.

In php.css you the width of #footer is set to 100%. You also have
paddings set to 1.25em. The total width is then 100% + 2.5em.

To fix the problem, you can set #footer width to 'auto'.

Thank you for the quick and accurate response.
Problem resolved.

Never having tried (even with both hands) I can
only accept the wisdom contained within the
' old American Indian proverb' which you quote.
(is this your cowboy movie watching week ?)

However, Roy A's solution of altering the footer
appears to have done the job.

I know there has been debate (several times)
over defining a page as 'fixed width' v 'fluid'
but, alas, all my attempts to date have resulted
in a 'yeuch' at the appearance.

I've tried an increased width, auto, 100%
and, I think, come to conclusion that I'll
leave it as is.
