I'm guessing you used WebEngine's Behavior or Action tool to create your text marquee. If so, then this is what is causing the horizontal scroll bar to "grow" as the text is scrolled. You haven't done anything wrong; it's just the way that tool works with the text you are using. If you do not like the current effect (and side-effect), you could try using a script-based marquee. One such script can be found here.Also, I noticed that you are using Bookman Old Style as your font. This is not a web-safe font, so anyone viewing your pages who do not have this font loaded on their computer will see you page using a default browser font. This probably isn't the effect you want.

The reason you have horizontal scrolling is that when the scrolling title is moved off the page to the right, the browser's page is expanded to contain it. You have a very wide box around the scrolling title so it expands a lot. If you can reduce the size of that box you will reduce the amount of horizontal scrolling. See a picture the box outline hereIf you can reduce the box so that it is only as big as the text itself, then only a small amount will extend past the right edge of the right border. If you then, widen the right hand border to cover it, you will not see the text at all and the scroll bar won't change size because it is already as wide as the widest point of scrolling. By the way, I see you have used WebEngine for these pages. If you haven't already, consider upgrading to SiteSpinner Pro. It's a free upgrade and you might find it does a better job than WebEngine (it is essentially the next version of WebEngine).
