I'm building a Dynamic HTML web page but i'm very new to HTML. I built the site using Web Easy Professional. When I build the site with the settings "Centered (with kiosk style)", i preview it and the scroll bar is on the right and bottom of the page. Is there any way to hide the scroll bars but still be able to scroll with my mouse? When I edit the code in notepad, i can turn off and on the scroll bar but when it is off you can't scroll down. It just clips the bottom of the page. Here's the code,

"This enables the scroll bar and allows me to scroll but i want to hide it and still be able to scroll."

<frame name="MyFrm" src="home_001.htm" marginheight="10" marginwidth="10" scrolling="yes">

"This disables the scroll bar but clips the bottom of the page."

<frame name="MyFrm" src="home_001.htm" marginheight="10" marginwidth="10" scrolling="no">

Thanks for the help and sorry for the long message.

I don't think there's a way to allow scrolling without also showing a scrollbar - even writing your code by hand rather than using some kind of an application.

I'm also not sure why you are building the site in a frameset - there can be many problems with frames and while some are surmountable, frames are usually not a good user interface. I'd strongly consider writing a "plain old" page rather than using frames.

Is this for a kiosk application, rather than an online domain?
