Position layer off screen but with no page scrolling?

[pha2er]

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to position a layer way off screen so no-one will see it, and there will be no page scrolling?

Cheers.

Yes.

You can position a layer absolutely like this

<div style=&quot;position:absolute; left:1200px; top:200px;&quot;>

this will put a div 1200 pixels formt he left which in the majority of cases wopuld be off the screen. To prevent a horizontal scrollbar you would need to use the overflow property for the body tag in your stylesheet like this:

body{overflow-x;none;}

however for IE5 suppport you also need to specify a scrollbar for the y direction or it will inhereit the x property so

body{overflow-x;none; overflow-y:visible;}

would be better

hope this helps
