Hi

I've developed a small website using a mixture of HTML, PHP and JavaScript. The site queries a database and draws a temperature graph with the data collected.

The problem I have is that the graph is far too large to fit into the browser window, often extending to 20,000+ pixels on the horizontal axis.

Is there a way in which I can have a fixed window for the graph with its own scrollbars, in addition to those provided by the browser?

Thanks

Hi there aescott,

have a look at this example, you should be able to adapt it to your requirements...

#container img {
