Expression Engine: Publish Page Causes Horizontal Scroll

November 6, 2004 by debbie T | Expression Engine

While messing around in the Expression Engine control panel, I noticed that my Publish page displayed a large horizontal scroll in Firefox 0.9. Yikes. I didn’t notice it before, and all I did was import my older Movable Type entries, which created new categories. Hmm, after searching on the Expression Engine support forum, I found a few posts, but not exactly a fix.

UPDATE: (Thanks Farron for the tips!) Problem solved by editing the default css file in the cp_css directory. By editing the width to 70% for the main content wrapper, the scroll disappeared:

MAIN CONTENT WRAPPER:

#content {
 left:              0px;
 right:             10px;
 margin:            0 25px 0 25px;
 padding:           8px 13px 0 13px;
 width:             70%;
}

I also deleted the extra code under it:

* html #content {
 width:             100%;
 width:            auto;
}
