Hopefully, this may help others with the same problem. In working with webpages, I've noticed IE7 will sometimes display a horizontol scrollbar, where FireFox, Opera, and even IE6 do not. I found a simple page with an example, and some reasons why:

In presence of italic contents in a shrink-wrapping container, sometimes IE7 displays an unnecessary horizontal scrollbar. In this test case there is a span with hasLayout and text-align:center in effect. The same problem occurs with:

text-align:right
italics in a right widthless float
italics in a widthless absolutely positioned box with right:0
Overflow:auto on the element with italics seems to solve the problem

These can be troublesome to figure out. Hope this helps.

If you have other examples, please share.
