title: Java Script with width and height
body: <p>i new to js and stumbled on my first and very simple problem, which i cant solve.</p>
  
  <p>I'm making a simple website (with an online editor), and wanted to add a shoutbox. i got one from shoutbox.com</p>
  
  <p>to use it i have to embed it in a html-box which works just fine. The Problem is, that a horizontal scrollbar apears at the html box. i want it gone. i tried with html body codes to hide it, didnt work. making the html-box bigger just streches the shoutbox, the scrollbar is staying.</p>
  
  <p>the width of the shoutbox ist set to 100% and the height to 360px
  on shoutbox.com is a faq to change both, but it only shows half, i dont know where to put.</p>
  
  <p>here is the code for the Shoutbox:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script src="https://www.shoutbox.com/chat/chat.js.php"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script&gt; var chat = new Chat(112308);  &lt;/script&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the faq says:</p>
  
  <p>To change the width: embed the chat into a  element with the width of your choice.</p>
  
  <p>To change the height: over ride .shoutBoxContainer CSS</p>
  
  <p>and gives an example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var chat = new Chat(5, "John"); &lt;style&gt; .shoutBoxContainer {height:450px;} &lt;/style&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i wanted to make the shoutbox to width 90% to see if this solves the problem.</p>
  
  <p>my Question: How?</p>
