That is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. I determined that it could be
done with two DIVs, but decided to abandon the idea for a more
straightforward approach. The basic idea with the two DIVs is that
they are setup side-by-side and the one on the right is a fixed width
with the CSS overflow property set to auto. This puts a scrollbar
along the bottom for scrolling left to right with the appearance of
sliding the columns under the static set on the left.
