overflow-x removed from custom CSS

    I’m working on the custom CSS for my blog and ran into a bit of an issue. It seems that whenever I put in an “overflow-x” style, either through the style attribute or in the CSS, it gets striped out. However, using just “overflow” works fine. I want some content to scroll horizontally, but not vertically.

    Any idea why overflow-x gets removed, and if there is a work around?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    It appears that wordpress.com is very picky about CSS3. Since overflow-x is CSS3 and overflow is CSS2, that seems to be it.

    I’m a little perplexed why WordPress parses CSS.

    That seems to be the most likely reason. I haven’t figured out what is and isn’t allowed in terms of CSS3. It would be nice if the staff could let us know what we can use and if there’s any chance of any extra features becoming available.
