Horizontal scroll to nowhere---why? Paul Wak 10-23-2007

Here's a mystery I can't figure out: www.votewake.org displays with a horizontal
scroll bar at the bottom of the window, indicating there's content off to the
right. But there isn't. The associated page, www.votewake.org/answers.html,
doesn't display with the scroll bar, even though both pages have the same
layout. Both pages validate. Why does the first page think it's wider than it
is?

Yes there is. Right down the bottom you have a <p> containing Paul Wake.
This div is 100% of the canvas width but is relatively postioned 67% across
the canvas. So, 67% of it lives out there beyond the right side of the
viewport.

Whack a border round it and you will see.
