Is it possible to have a bottom footer with a horizontal scrollbar and no vertical scroll bar?

Question

I have a layout which uses min-width and works great. So I came to add a footer which I want to stick to the bottom. Firefox will display everything perfectly while with IE, when min-width takes in effect and the vertical scroll bar kicks in, the horizontal scroll bar also appears even thought my content isn't even close to needing it.

I have tried every solution I could find about the bottom footer and they all seem to behave that way.

Is there a solution to this problem or will I have to realize once again that IE is not-so-good? ;)

Thank you.

Answer 1

Have you tried using overflow:hidden;?

Edit: You might also want to try overflow:auto; with your margins set to margin:0;

Answer 2

You might try overflow-y: hidden;

NOTE: Does NOT validate.

I know that jquery ui has a slider plugin that can duplicate the functionality. Here's a demo that does something similar. http://ui.jquery.com/repository/real-world/product-slider/ Might be a bit heavy for your application, but it's worth a look.
