Scrollbar Problem

BobTB · Jan 26, 2003

I have a web page that is 580px long. When I view the page in Netscape 7 there a no greyed-out scrollbars on the far right of the page. But in Internet Explorer 6, the scroll bar is shown on the far right of the page but greyed-out because the page doen't require a scroll bar. Is there a way using css or some other method to remove the greyed-out scroll bar from IE6. I need to remove it because of a problem with menu positioning on the page.

Thank You

Place the following CSS code after the </head> tag but before the <body> tag:

<STYLE type="text/css"></STYLE>

This just makes the whole scroll-bar white, but there's probably an easier way to get rid of it properly using a bit of javascript. Adam

This was a bug in earlier versions of ie6 that appears to have been fixed with a recent patch. Of course this won't help for your users who have not installed the patch. Clive
