Obviously, there are exceptions (positioned elements, negative margins, etc), but it is to be expected for elements that extend past the viewport ... you could use overflow:hidden, but that creates its own problems (like no vertical scrollbar when you need it). That said, if you give the div a width of 100% (or just display:block), it should only take the width of the body, and consequently not precipitate a horizontal scrollbar. The background image will only display for as much of the element is visible, and won't cause a scrollbar on the viewport. My reading comprehension isn't always the best, so if I missed some aspect of your question, please say so or provide us with an example URL (even just a proof of concept or "what I want" image).
