    I’m trying to make a small page that reads a CSV file (exported from excel) that gives me a list of my DVDs with an img that is a link to the file to start the movie. It actually works fine (needs some formatting tweaking), but as it is below, it lists the movies vertically (up & down). Anyone know how I can make it list them horizontally? For whatever reason I prefer it that way. I’m testing using IE btw, but Firefox would be preferred. I found this article on this site, https://css-tricks.com/how-to-create-a-h … ling-site/ and it pretty much does the horizontal scrolling like I want, but now I just need to incorporate the automatic parsing of the .csv file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
