I have a page using divs and it is causing a horizontal scroll. i can turn this off using overflow:hidden but it also turns of vertical scroll, which i need.
If you save this and view in a browser you'll see what i mean
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>testing divs...</title>
<style type="text/css">
body { margin: 0; font: normal small-caps 10pt Verdana; }
#content-box { position:absolute;left:0px
#content-align { position:absolute;left:50%
#content-container { position:absolute;left:-39
#page-fade-left { position:absolute;right:10
#page-fade-right { position:absolute;left:100
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content-box">
<div id="content-align">
<div id="content-container">
<div id="page-fade-left"></div>
<div id="page-fade-right"></div
<p style="height:1000px;"><br
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Does anybody know how to turn off the overflow for the right column on this page? or possibly know an alternate way of coding this page to produce the desired results?
Thank you.

I cannot just have one background image, i need a left background image and a right background image.
This needs to be scalable for different resolutions, so the amount of background on the left(fading to the left) or background on the right(fading to the right) needs to be able to expand and collapes.
> nope. you can't center it like that...
Yes you can, but you are using a bad doctype that throws IE in quirks mode...
Use this one instead if you want to use transitional (i recommend using strict though):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html

Use the following code and have "background.gif" be an image that has a 780px white part in the center and the green gradients on the sides (then remove the 1px red border defined in the CSS).
Here is the code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>testing divs...</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
margin: 0;
font: normal small-caps 10pt Verdana;
background: url(http://www.taxcut.com/
}
#content-container {
width:780px;
margin: 0 auto;
border: 1px solid red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content-container">
