I uploaded some updates and now I have to scroll left and right to see the
whole browser page. I feel like a dummy because I know it's a simple thing to
fix. Like word wrap in notebook. Can someone unblock my brain for me.
 
In IE - View...Text Size. Or, Tools...Internet Options...General tab,
Accessibility button - uncheck all boxes there. If no joy, then it could be
that your screen resolution setting has changed?

Post an example URL? Hint: don't say "any" because that would allow
us to choose a simple page which wrapped.

Hi mykhel :-)

Mine does the same thing on this site. My resolutions are 800 by 600 pixels
using medium text. At 1024 by 768 pixels and medium text I still have to
scroll to the right to see all the line. At 1152 by 864 small text I can't
read it, but, I still have to scroll to the right to see the entire line.

I would say that it is the webpage. Contact the webmaster and tell them
your problem.

Just my observation.

It's definitely an error in the web page design. No matter what you do,
you have to scroll to see the controls at the right of the page. Firefox
does exactly the same thing.

I am having the same problem. Here is an example:

Look at the 4th user comment down "Good Mouse". On my display it extends
to
the right about 8 inches and I have to use scroll bars to get to the end.
I
don't remember having this problem before. Thank you.

But it doesn't use <PRE> so I don't understand the mechanism.

I'm no HTML expert, but I suspect that it's a bad specification for one of
the many components that make up the page. It could be something like a
bad width specification for one of the graphics. I notice that if you
change the text size, the page reforms and becomes completely visible --
until you move the mouse cursor back onto the page. Then it expands
again. This happens even if you just click the same size that's already
set. Very strange situation, but I'm sure a competent page designer could
fix it in no time.
