I think you can put a command in the body tag

<body scroll="somthink">

Actually, with most browsers, the scrollbar does not appear if the page doesn't need one.

The scrollbar is part of their browser window, not part of your web page. You can't change how people's operating systems work.

I use Netscape. Most browsers will not display the scrollbar when it's not needed. IE is really the only that still displays it (for some completely bizare reason).

you may be referring to the browser gutter and placeholder for the scrollbar. if so, try

body {overflow:auto;}
