For my project I need to show a horizontal scroll bar in the Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE). The best discussion I could find on the web is at http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/pocket-pc/31244/Horizontal-scroll-only-PIE which does not have a clear solution. Can you please give me some directions on how to do it? I am open to using any HTML (and/or CSS) element inside the web page as long as I can show the horizontal scroll bar in the PIE. Thanks.
A:
The CSS overflow property specifies what happens if a content overflows an element's box. You could have container div (or any blocking tags) with a fixed width, and set overflow to scroll or auto, for example:
<div style="width: 320px; overflow: scroll">
...
</div>
For One Column view, try adding white-space: nowrap.
There was a registry hack to make PIE pretend to be a desktop browser, see How to make PIE to pretend to be a desktop browser.

Thanks for the quick reply. Your solution works but only if I select Menu -> View -> Desktop, in PIE. If I select Menu -> View -> One Column, in PIE, it is not working. I think I will use your solution and use the "Desktop" option in PIE to show the scroll bar for now. If anyone finds a way to automatically set the option to "Desktop" in PIE or show a horizontal scroll bar in "One Column" mode of PIE please let me know. Thanks again.
