Hi all i have a that contains a HORIZONTAL menu. the menu consists of an unordered list. i would like the div to get a horizontal scroller whenever the menu exceeds the width of the <div>. i tried using these CSS definitions for my <div>:

position: absolute;
width: 380px;   
overflow: auto;
overflow-y: hidden;
height: 30px;

but than realized that since the menu is LIST, the different list items break the line whenever they reach the width of the <div> and move on to the next line, thus the browser doesnt see the need for a horizontal scroller (it doesnt display a vertical one as well because of the overflow-y: hidden; line)

any ideas how i can create a 1 line horizontal menu which will scroll horizontally only?

thank you all so much.
