Force horizontal expansion

Question

For a sort of thumbnail horizontal sliding viewer

How can I make the divs inside the horizontal scrolling divs force the scrolling div horizontally, instead of reach

Answer 1

You don't need float and display:inline-block, and floats won't do it.. so you have to remove the float rule, (add a workaround for IE7 and below *) - When float is present browsers ignore the display property

.box{
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    border: solid 1px black;
    display: inline-block;
}

.box {display: inline !ie7;} /* to make it work in IE7 and below */

with white-space: nowrap on the inner div

     

etc..
