A Web page is always scrollable unless you use absolute or fixed positioning. So you would simply recommend not using such positioning if you want to show your application on devices of very different screen sizes.

See:
http://webdesign.about.com/od/advancedcss/a/aa061307.htm[^],
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp[^].

There are a number of CSS methods helping to stretch your components to occupy the width of a Web browser screen. A basic hint: use "width: 100%".

One interesting technique is using absolute positioning inside relative positioning: http://css-tricks.com/791-absolute-positioning-inside-relative-positioning/[^]. Still, use it with great care.
