IE6 will display the greyed out scrollbar on the page even if the content fits. FF and Opera will only display the scrollbar if the content spills out of the viewport.

In FF and Opera you can get rid of the scrollbar (even if the scollbar *should* appear) by setting:

body { 
overflow:hidden; 
}

But you won't get able to get at the contents which is out of view! In IE6 the scrollbar will ALWAYS show on the body.

Actually, it’s not that IE will always display the scrollbar, it’s that the scrollbar isn’t on

body

:)

It’s actually on

html

in IE. Which is wrong, I’m pretty sure: I think it’s meant to be on

body

.

Anyway, update it to this:

html, body { overflow: hidden; }

… and IE 6 and 7 will remove the scrollbar just fine.

It’s actually on html in IE. ...

Ah, OK, thanks for the clarity! :)

I notice that in IE6 (may be 7?) that you can still get at the hidden contents by selecting the content and moving up/down with the mouse. But not in FF or Opera.

Yep, that happens in IE 7 too :)

I tend to avoid a practice like this just for kicks (for instance if someone wanted their own customised scrollbar colours etc) because it’s a user interface control that should not be mucked with by designers.

I could quote Spiderman right now but I think I’ve done it before and I’ll just sound like an old man repeating stuff I’ve already said… :)

Their is a problem with. Once you resize the window, the scrollers never appears and the content are not fully showed. It will be better it you use following.

<style type="text/css">
html, body { overflow:auto }
</style>

Once you resize the window, ithe scrollers will be displayed automatically.

abbas13... I'm mighty glad I've not encountered your site using my PDA, or the ancient laptop I keep in my room which only does 640x480px.
