    friends I'm making a wp theme.

    I've width no width, neither in %age nor in pixels. so its fluid.

    the problem is that when content goes bigger in width the horizontal scrollbar wont appear even through I've set overflow-x to scroll.

    I want the scroll to appear. Please let me know what could be the problem.


    solution:
    just tried and found that we must have to add the width somewhere for content

    so I left the header with no width and made a div for content with fixed width like the example below

    you could also do width:101% to show the scroll bar permanently.

    <div style="margin:auto;width:1200px;overflow-x:scoll;>
    content
    </div>


    here in the code you wrote scoll, not scroll.. maybe that's the problem?
