Does anyone know how to

) hide or
) disable

the scroll bar? I know how to do this with internet explorer. But does anyone know how to do it with other browsers eg. netscape.

I think you can only do this if you pop in a new window. To hide the scroll in the parent window is not possible as far as I know. Would be a neat trick though.

And here is that neat trick... :-)

You need just a little bit of CSS to do this.

"overflow: hidden" applied to the "body" will do the trick (or at least, it works in Firefox)...

This seems to do what you want and it works in both FF and IE, but the user will then have no way to scroll your page at all.

thanks mate. Does anyone know whether that last little trick works in netscape as well?

What works in FireFox should work in Netscape 7 - and I just verified that it does. If you are asking about Netscape 4, I think you're out of luck.
