    'cause the screen is too wide for the display.

    You need to make sure your width is less than the monitor/resolution you're viewing on.

    If I view a site on a monitor with resolution 800px by 600px, if the website is greater than 800px i'm going to see the horizontal scroll bar.

    In reality, the site needs to be less than 800px wide to accomodate for the vertical scroll bar and a few pixels either side for the window itself.

    There's a dated thread about it here: http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/standard-web-dimensions

    Have a look at the www.graphicdesignforums.co.uk and see what they have to say about it :)

    delete the line "overflow:auto".

    this is sometimes used to clear floats but i can't see why you'd want it on that banner container.

    EDIT

    actually, you're not closing off your wrapper / banner tag properly actually. check for missing </div>s before you edit the styles.

    Click to expand...

    Yeah but if you look the dam scroll is on every page so it must be the style sheet?

    Just double checking.

    Fair play, but you misunderstand me.

    I'm not criticising your code (although it is terrible), I'm saying that if your tags aren't closed properly and you try to visually style your site like that, when you do close the tags the styles will all be wrong (because if the tags aren't closed properly you're applying styles to the wrong elements) and could very well change the entire way the site looks.
