Does anyone know of a way to 'remove' the scroll bars on a window? I can change the colour, but can't find a way of removing them. The Microsoft Windows update page manages this.
Thanks

You can't on the main window (that I know of) but you can easily do it on a pop-up window.
It's as easy as something like:
function openwin() {
window.open('sumthin.htm','scrollbars=no')
}
Changing the colour will only work in IE.

Thanks. Yeh, I realised about window.open - sorry, I should have put that in my question. I was interested for the main window, i.e. getting a window to do it on itself. IE only would be fine.
My problem is that I have an IFRAME and I get two scroll bards...one for the main window and one for the IFRAME...I want to lose the main window one as it looks messy. Actually, Navigator, does it by default!

Your best bet, then is to hide it in IE using CSS. Forget about the other browsers then.

I've found the answer myself...as always, the simpler the better!!!...
<body scroll="no">
<body scroll="no">
interesting question and as much as I don't wnat to start this subject again as it's been beaten into the ground....
why would you want to manipulate the users window in such a way besides it's so ineffective accross different browsers?
it's basically bad design practice and can open the door for viewers to NOT revisit sites.
great example:
you take the scroll away from your index or default whatever and the user has a res of 800* but far be it your page doesn't fit and it leads to partial viewable sections. would you stay at the site? _________________________________________________________

It was for a specific page (non-dynamic content) for an Intranet...therefore, control over browser, screen resolution etc.
It just looked really silly have two scrollbars next to each other.

Why not use
<body scroll="auto">
Then if they are needed they appear and if not they don't
Ian It's not a lie if you believe it!
