CSS: series of floated elements without wrapping but rather scrolling horizontally

Question

I\'m working on a album viewer. At the top I want a horizontal container of all the image thumbnails. Right now all the thumbnails are wrapped in a div with float:left

Answer 1

How about using display: inline-block this way you can use borders on the block elements and get the horizontal scroll bar.

#thumbnails_container {
    height:75px;
    border:1px solid black;
    padding:4px;
    overflow-x:scroll;
    white-space: nowrap
}
.thumbnail {
    border:1px solid black;
    margin-right:4px;
    width:100px; height:75px;
    display: inline-block;
}
