The <td> element is what you desire.
MS provides an example here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/referen
ce/objects/td.asp
I did not look at the page code and have no idea what method they've used to
achieve this.
The URL was found via a google on "<td>"

I should have read your inquiry with more detail.
A horizontal scroll?
I believe the word scroll implies up and down?
There are multiple reasons why you should not attempt such a thing?
Not everybody's computer monitor is the same size as yours and eventually
you'll run out of space.
Not everybody's browser view is the same size as your own.
Finally, website visitors as rule don't care for ANY type of scroll.
Horizontal the least. The majority if the item is not viewable on the single
screen of their browser will move on. Else, hone their search.
