Thanks, Rob, for your input. Though Google Sites uses plenty of CSS and
javascript in our source pages for their purposes, GoogleSites says we
cannot enter our own css or javascript, though we're allowed to use the HTML
source pages to do other things; but I'll try your sample in one of my
practice webs. I've found out a couple of things since I asked the
question.
(1) They already have a user agent style sheet in their source page for my
wide image.
(2) When I finally got frustrated about the missing IE7 horizontal scroll
bar, I just sat down and 'played' with the browser to see how many things I
could click on. Lo! and behold! If I click on the magnification icon
(bottom right corner) and choose higher than 100% the horizontal scroll
snaps to attention. I can understand why that would be desirable with a
magnified image, but it is certain that there are web pages built that need
the scroll bar for 100% or less magnification.
Anyway, guys, thanks for your input. It's appreciated.
