Press F12 in Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer to open developer tools. Open the HTML tab. Click on a small button that looks like a mouse cursor over a rectangle and the hover over the page looking for an element which has a bounding box outside the right edge of the page.

I have done that and can't see anything that would cause this to happen.

Its because you are using left:100%; it forces that element and content area beyond right side of browser window, and so scroll bar appears, if you use negative value instead because left remains fixed, no scroll bars will

show.

 

Your fly out menu is not structured properly either you have misplaced opening/closing tags, and missing closing quote on one of your links.

AFTER correcting what I think you are looking for, (add misplaced div to list, you really should validate before posting)

EDIT: after fixing your html your original css worked fine. also i should add closing </li>, it would be easier to read

Thanks for that, but despite all of your "corrections" it still has the unwanted horizontal scroll bar in IE and Chrome.
