my 2 cents here, I'd put the pre in a div with overflow: auto, and as
suggested by others, you do need to specify a width on the container
scrolly element for it to know when it has overflow-ed. Style the PRE and
the DIV container as seperate elements (to make each reusable), and
spare a thought for the dear departed XMP :)
