IE7 Horizontal scrollbar solution

This goes out to anyone who uses the Monk accessibility conventions and/or the Starter Set, where we use the unordered list (id=“skip”) for accessibility links.

I have noticed that all of my recent sites end up with a horizontal scrollbar in IE7. Much googling revealed a number of issues that could cause this, but I finally found the culprit and the solution.

Simply add the following css rule to your ul#skip:

overflow:hidden

Shazam…no more scrollbar. If that doesn’t fix it, then unfortunately I can’t help. Hopefully google can.

Oddly enough… I still see the horizontal scroll bar on this site in IE7 :)
