Annoying horizontal scrolling list

I have CSS designed a webpage that fits nicely within a 1024x768 screen size.
Still, I get an horizontal scrolling list at the bottom indicating that the page is wider which indeed it is. But it's just extra space.
The one difference now with previous web pages I have made is that I'm using absolute positioning instead of tables. Could that be the reason?

Hard to say what the problem is without seeing it. If you were to use a 100% width on an element that has anything to the left or right of it, that would cause it, as would many other layouts.

I've found the solution. I replaced the "position: relative;" directives in the css-file with "position: absolute;" Then the horizontal scrolling list disappeared.
