I am using Windows XP SP2 (I.E. 6)
Many websites show up in my browser in a format that requires horizontal scrolling because only part of the page is displayed on the screen when it comes up.
How can I avoid this nuisance? Is it my browser, is it the website?
Addendum: I have this problem even with MS websites, such as
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/community/default.mspx
My screen cuts off just beyond the word "blogs" on the right side.
Because the width of the content is wider than the size of your browser's window. Just where would the content wrap to? Would you want the rightmost columnar text to wrap around and step into the leftmost columnar text? The page designer figured on a minimum video resolution to display their page. For a long time, 800x600 was the standard page size so you needed to have that resolution or higher for your desktop. Then it was 1024x768 for the default page size. Now it is creeping up to past 1152x864 or higher. The author that has his nice big 21", or bigger, monitor thinks everyone else must also have a big monitor and forgets some of us don't like squinting at high resolution screens on smaller monitor. Blame it on the web page designer for poor design for users not wanted to use the highest resolution that their monitor or video card can support just so they can squint at smaller characters. More (on the screen) doesn't always equate to better. The page author showed a 12-inch ruler and you're trying to see it in a 10-inch window. You need to make his 12-inch ruler look smaller by upping the video resolution.
