Is it possible to have a horizontal menu that can scroll overflowed menuitems horizontally, but also display the vertical overflow when a submenu is to appear?

A: 

overflow-x and overflow-y are CSS3 properties and are not widely supported yet. See this page for a demo in your browser.

edit: I checked the page in IE8 (and IE7 compat mode) and the "auto" examples all worked as they should. So it looks like the answer is "Yes".

They *are* in fact widely supported, even in IE, though not necessarily according to spec.

A: 

Yes the overflow-x:auto is working, but then the drop down submenu stays inside the containing div, even though it's defined as position:absolute. Any cure for that?
