An update from Duncan is in order, yes. Or maybe just a general
description of the problem to which a solution is being sought.

I think I posted about my problem a few weeks ago - a client wants a
thin horizontal "frame" hugging the bottom of the window and is OK
with it degrading for NN 4 ... and I don't want to do a frameset ...
it  quickly became apparent that I was going to have to do it
differently for IE 5 Mac, IE 5 Win and NN 6 ...

I'll be posting a site check. Maybe even soon!

Noted ... I've had it in my mind to turn what I've learned about
simulating frames with CSS would make a nice article and that would
be an appropriate companion article.

Is it that it always wants to show a horizontal scrollbar even if it
doesn't need one? If so, you can fix that by putting the scrollable
content within another tag with a width that leaves enough room for
the vertical scrollbar.
