Hi all,

have a look at : <snip>

The main frame has horizontal scroll bars which are completely useless... How do I remove these? Tried making the table smaller etc, but no result, the scroll bars stay there, no matter what I do...
Any advice?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, Tommy2812!

From reading your post it seems like you are using a page containing frames. Since you've tried making the table smaller (smaller than the width of the frame?) my next port of call would be to check to see if the frameset page is setting a scrollbar to the frame (scrollbar="yes") rather than being allowed to happen automatically (scrollbar="auto").

Is this the case?

Hi Tommy, Welcome to Webmasterworld.

Sounds like an object exceeds the page dimensions. You'll need to look at the html to find the offending article. It could be a frame, table, image, div etc. One will stand out. Try using % widths to get the the page to work on different screen and user settings.

Thanx all,

I tried every scrollbar=... option there is, doesn't change anything. Only scrollbar="no" gives me like expected no horizontal scrollbar, but no vertical either ;) And unfortunately I definately need the vertical one ;)
I tried remaking my table with %widths, rebuilt everything from the ground up, and still have the same problem.
Some details... Frameset with three frames, top frame, left frame with the menu, and the mainframe with the table. Mainframe causes the troubles. In this frame is a table, right side of this table is filled with an image, rest with text...
I tried everything and nothing works so far... Pitty I can't post the url so you guys could have a look at it...

There's a known bug in IE that does this at times, whether it's a frame or a full window. The problem can be related to using width attributes for <td>

So check the html for the frame that gets the unwanted scrollbars in IE - specifically, check it for the issues iscussed here:
