You could use a transparent 1pixel x 1pixel gif image with the width set to 110% this will force the horizontal scrollbar to appear regardless of screensize

<img src=&quot;transp.gif&quot; width=&quot;110%&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;&quot;>
Hope this helps

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
You want to scoll to the bottomj of the page once it has loaded?
Then try putting this just before the body tag in your page

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;> window.scrollBy(0,1000); </script>

Question is why?

Do you want to drive your visitors away for making a site, that is not the norm?

OR what about people who &quot;print&quot; sites up? I do from time to time, so that i have a hard copy of the site and wont have to &quot;trudge&quot; through looking for the information again.

WizyWyg,

what i am trying to do is a chat program web-based...i am refreshing the page every 1 second and unfortunately the vertical scroll bar seen at the right hand of the screen is always on top which is a bit of a problem since the screen would post messages one at a time filling up the page and the most recent message would seen at the bottom...this would then result to the message not being read by the person chatting...

Ian,
haven't really tried your code yet..ill get back to you on that one...but thanks a bunch for helping

Could you not change the size of the CHAT SCREEN AREA to make it fit or perhapse the frame it is in ??

You may want to look at an existing html chat to see how its done, since many i go to Html based do fine with having the scroll bar where it always is, and the newest message posted at the bottom without anyone having to scroll.
