It should give you a scrollbar. Any change of seeing a link to your site so we can have a look at the code.

I must be missing something.... <br />
<br />
I have a fixed width css layout similar to this one:<br />
<a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/layouts/item/css-fixed-layout-31-fixed-fixed-fixed/" rel="ugc">http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/layouts/item/css-fixed-layout-31-fixed-fixed-fixed/</a><br />
The total of all columns adds up to about 1200pxls. <br />
Now when I change my display resolution to 1024x768 I would have hoped that the browser (chrome in my case) is smart enough to add a horizontal scroll bar because the content is bigger than the screen. Instead the page is just cut off and I can't scroll to the right.<br />
<br />
What gives???

Fixed width css layout gets cut off on lower resolution displays

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

HTML

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.
