Okay, here is my dilema, and I hope I can explain this well enough, because I don't have an example that I can post right now, but will work one up if I have to.
Say I have a div container (outer div) that has a header div,another content container inside of it (inner div) and a footer div. So the outer div has a fixed width and height, and the inner div is fit to the width of the outer div but has a height that can overflow. because of this, the outer div has a vertical scrollbar to scroll it's inner content (header, container and footer) up and down, and the inner div container has content that can have a variable height, but because of the fixed width needs a scrollbar to move it's content left and right.
The dilemma in this scenario is that at times the inner content overflows the outer div such that I have to scroll down to get to the scrollbar of the inner content area to move it left and right. Is there a way that I can put a scrollbar at the bottom of the outer div that would control the inner div content's left and right movement, but not move the header and footer of the inner content of the outer div?
Hope I explained that well enough.

Actually the solution you're looking for is the problem I'm having... in regards to headers in tables. The header will not scroll left and right along with the inner content and I need it to.
Not real sure about your problem but you might try working with headers and footers in tables. I swiped/borrowed some code from here to learn about fixed table headers:

Works great until I get a vertical scroll bar. Then the header stays fixed and won't move with the rest of the columns. I haven't tried working with table footers yet...
