}
.wideContent {
width: 670px;
padding: 5px;
margin: 10px;

This is the rendered result.
Both scroll bars are provided, whether or not the content calls for them.
The containing block is 600 pixels wide.
The total width of the "wideContent"
DIV is 700 pixels, which exceeds the width of the containing block.
