    Hi everyone! I am currently making a blog, with lots of code examples in the posts, and would really like the website to be viewable on mobile devices.

    I have made all the necessary css to make the page “reactive” so everything fits on a mobile screen. The only thing that seems not to work is horizontal scrolling with in pre tags. I have read in several places that this is not possible, as it could lead to users zooming all the way in to a scroll area and not being able to scroll out of it (since the scrolling is taking place inside the div, not on the page). I assumed I had no way around this, until I happened on another site on my mobile, with code that *could* scroll horizontally:
    http://pfultz2.github.com/Pythy/

    Currently I have code inside pre tags, with

    overflow-x: auto; 

    set in the in the css. My website is here where horizontal scrolling in code doesn’t work:
    http://kholdstare.github.com/index.html

    Looking at the css of both sites, I do not see anything that is radically different. I also couldn’t find any custom javascript on the pythy website that could be doing it.

    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for reading!

    Hmm… What are you using? I’m trying on Firefox on Android, and it doesn’t seem to work for me.

    EDIT:
    I tried on the default browser on android, and it worked fine!
    Seems to be a bug in firefox! That was easy :P

    I’m working on a new WordPress theme for my blog, and I’m trying to sort out a horizontal scrolling navigation menu for mobile devices. I’ve messed with the overflow property in the CSS. I even tried restricting the height and increasing the width, but the navigation links just won’t stay on 1 row. Any ideas?

    I’m experimenting on a [Your text to link here…](http://jddurrant.net16.net/2013/ “test site”) written in HTML, and I’m not adding the PHP until later. I uploaded the files to a [Your text to link here…](https://github.com/JDDurrant/Project-Beta-2013 “github repo”).

    I didn’t write animate.css, and there’s not really any need to pay attention to it. I’m just using it for the onload animations. If you want to check it out, [Your text to link here…](http://daneden.me/animate/ “click here”).
