Question

I need to display a log on a page , but the log has very long lines (it is an apache access_log) an it gets both ugly and unreadable.

how can i display the content with a horizontal scrollbar ?

i am using bootstrap and tried using overflow : auto/scroll and fixing height/width without success.

edit:
here is my code

<div class="well" style="overflow-x: scroll;width:200px;" >
<?php
    echo $log;
?>
</div>

$log contains <br/> for new lines

Answer 1

<div style="overflow-x: scroll;white-space:nowrap;width:200px;
height:200px;border:1px solid red" >

White-Space is property you need to set.
