IE SCROLLBARS
Hi all,
Need some help with this. If we go to any site with very less contents on the page -- example www.google.com ..
if we see.. we can see the grey vertical scrollbars even when it is not active because all contents can easily come on half a page.
no horizontal scollbar is there though..
if we see in netscape.. no scrollbars appear at all for small pages..
I want to get rid off grey inactive scrollbars from IE.. until it is needed...
I would really appreciate if you can help me with this..
Regards

do you have a large background image on the page?
ASKER
no background at all.. I just was using stylesheets.. but i took that also out..
still I can see the grey inactive scrollbar..
just if you go to
www.google.com
and maximize your screen.. to get IE on the full screen.. i think u'll able to see the vertical scrollbar while there is not much contents on the page..

But what should I change in my HTML code to get rid of these scrollbars.. I cannot tell my users to press F11.. :)
in your html you should go to the page which has your frames. add some of the following to it... for example...
<FRAMESET ROWS="23%,81%">
<FRAME SRC="top.htm" NAME="top" SCROLLING="NO">
<FRAMESET COLS="17%,85%">
<FRAME SRC="side.htm" NAME="side" SCROLLING="YES">
<FRAME SRC="yavin4.htm" NAME="page">
if you have scrolling to yes you will get the bars, if you set it to no you wont.
<FRAMESET ROWS="23%,81%">
<FRAME SRC="top.htm" NAME="top" SCROLLING="NO">
<FRAMESET COLS="17%,85%">
<FRAME SRC="side.htm" NAME="side" SCROLLING="YES">
<FRAME SRC="yavin4.htm" NAME="page">
if you have scrolling to yes you will get the bars, if you set it to no you wont.

hmmm that is a good one,
let me ponder here for a sec..
are you writing straight code? or are you using a program to do it? if you are using a program, may i suggest you use HoTMetaL pro. it is excellent, not having the program in front of me to take a look, i believe that if you set it to no, it will not put them there unless the page extends too far and it is necessary to have them. i think, i wont be home until saturday now as i am leaving but if you dont have an answer by then i will look and write back to you then. but try that!!!
hope it helps..
