Steps to eliminate a horizontal scrollbar

It appears that I am working with CSS 2.1 as the style "overflow-x" is not present in my code. In the snippet below, I have defined headings for a grid and set the Id "pageLength" to introduce a vertical scrollbar for the grid's contents. However, this also adds an unwanted horizontal scrollbar. Since "overflow-x" doesn't seem to do the trick, what should I use instead?

#pageLength
{
    height: 400px;
    overflow:auto;
}

Here is the table structure for the grid;

<table >
    <tr>
        <th>
            Date
        </th>
        <th>
            Morning Only
        </th>
        <th>
            Afternoon Only
        </th>
        <th>
            Approved
        </th>
        <th>
            Cancel?
        </th>
    </tr>
    <tbody  id="pageLength">
    <%: Html.EditorForModel()%>
    </tbody>
</table>

***EDIT - responding to request for Page Source

Answer №1

In my opinion, it is essential for #pageLength to have set dimensions for both width and height. Moreover, the child elements of #pageLength should not extend beyond its width, considering the factors of the CSS Box Model (including margins, padding, and borders); perhaps utilizing a CSS Reset) could be beneficial.
