I think an iLayer does not draw scrollbars, I think that was my main 
reason for not using iLayers or iFrames. Instead you might consider 
using a clipped div. You have to build your own scrollbar or arrow to 
make it work, but the same clipped div will work on IE4+ and NN4+ 
with minor differences in the scrolling code. Basically, since you are 
scrolling to the right you move the div to the left 1step while moving 
the clipped area to the right 1 step, net effect the "window-pane" 
remains stationary while the div scrolls through it to the left.

Another alternative, tell the client he's wrong.
