getting rid of listbox scrollbars

[froggerIII]

On a webpage I am working on, i have two listboxes that display six items at a time. When a user selects an item in the left listbox, the items in the right listbox change. Instead of having scrollbars (the application is being used with touchscreens), i am using graphical up and down arrows. The problem is that even though i have a set height and width for the listboxes, in netscape, scrollbars still show up (even though they don't work because they are disabled). Is there any way to get rid of these disabled scrollbars -- much like the ones in the new message section of posts in this forum; because my boss "doesn't like them"

Really, if you can't make your boss understand that it can't be done, just install some other browser on his/her computer. I'm sorry, but this is the only thing i can recommend to you except switching from listboxes to layers.

thanks, but layers is not an option, since we must have name and value pairs that come from the listboxes. We do have a little note at the bottom of the first page of our web application that tells the user that it is best viewed in ie. We have spent hours upon hours getting the application netscape compatible, since the standard campus browser here is netscape (i don't know why). I guess my boss will have to live with it and be thankful that the rest of everything works fine in netscape

You can put listbox in hidden layer. Because Netscape is better (don't discuss - I understand that it's matter of taste). [sig]<p>Michael Dubner<br>Brainbench MVP/HTML+JavaScript<br>
