Re: no scrollbar in IE? milov, 011230 16:07
You can also try overflow-x:hidden; or overflow-y:hidden; (not sure if these validate, but they work in IE6).

Re: no scrollbar in IE? Jeroen, 020212 22:25
Mmmmm and is it also possible to disable the X scrollbar and not the Y scrollbar?
ip503ca1e3.speed.planet.nl
Re: no scrollbar in IE? milov, 020212 23:04
Yep, it's possible, using overflow-x. To disable X scrollbar and not Y scrollbar:
body { overflow-x:hidden; }
 
Or to disable Y scrollbar and not X scrollbar:
body { overflow-y:hidden; }
 
Note: these are probably IE-only (not w3 standard)...

Re: no scrollbar in IE? toine, 020412 23:04
On a side note, if an IFRAME has a vertical scrollbar, how should it's width be determined? IE6 does it differently from IE5, Mozilla 0.9.9 and Opera 6...

Re: no scrollbar in IE? Eric Newport, 020414 09:52
Unfortunately, a great deal of those commands will NOT work in some Netscape versions. Even NS6 isn't even close to being "easy" to design for.

But if you're only designing for IE you can go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/dhtml_reference_entry.asp?frame=true to see a complete list of every html tag, css command, ect. I find it very useful.

Re: no scrollbar in IE? Patrick, 020528 17:04
The problem is that if you disable the scrollbar and you design and it works in 1024 then someone is set at 800 - they have half their page cut off. I have this problem in a site that is designed for 1024 and for some reason - in IE on Mac a very useless scrollbar appears - after the javascript menu has loaded - SO the menu appears partially under the useless scrollbar. I guess I could test for size and have 2 different style sheets - but that seems like a bunch of monkeying around.

Re: no scrollbar in IE? ,Unknown,biwols, 020802 02:31
Try this, It will make the scroll bar move without useing the bar it's self. You can use the <body scroll="no"> to remove the scroll bar then add this script at the end of your HTML before the </body> tag.
(u must have up and down arrow pics for this script)



<div id="staticbuttons" style="position:absolute;">

<a href="javascript:" onmouseover="myspeed=-thespeed" onmouseout="myspeed=0"><img

src=" UP PIC SRC HERE " border="0"></a><br>

<a href="javascript:" onmouseover="myspeed=thespeed"

onmouseout="myspeed=0"><img

src=" DOWN PIC SRC HERE " border="0"></a>
</div>

<script>


var Hoffset=70 //Enter buttons' offset from right edge of window (adjust depending on images width)
var Voffset=80 //Enter buttons' offset from bottom edge of window (adjust depending on images height)
var thespeed=8 //Enter scroll speed in integer (Advised: 1-3)

var ieNOTopera=document.all&&navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera")==-1
var myspeed=0

var ieHoffset_extra=document.all? 15 : 0
var cross_obj=document.all? document.all.staticbuttons : document.getElementById? document.getElementById("staticbuttons") : document.staticbuttons

function positionit(){
var dsocleft=document.all? document.body.scrollLeft : pageXOffset
var dsoctop=document.all? document.body.scrollTop : pageYOffset
var window_width=ieNOTopera? document.body.clientWidth+ieHoffset_extra : window.innerWidth+ieHoffset_extra
var window_height=ieNOTopera? document.body.clientHeight : window.innerHeight

if (document.all||document.getElementById){
cross_obj.style.left=parseInt(dsocleft)+parseInt(window_width)-Hoffset
cross_obj.style.top=dsoctop+parseInt(window_height)-Voffset
}
else if (document.layers){
cross_obj.left=dsocleft+window_width-Hoffset
cross_obj.top=dsoctop+window_height-Voffset
}
}

function scrollwindow(){
window.scrollBy(0,myspeed)
}

function initializeIT(){
positionit()
if (myspeed!=0){
scrollwindow()
}
}

if (document.all||document.getElementById||document.layers)
setInterval("initializeIT()",20)

</script>

Re: no scrollbar in IE? JiMmEkE, 020907 10:16
yes very cool this scrollbar but now my middle wheel mouse is also disabled. So i can't scroll with it anymore.
how can i activate the mouse wheeler whitout showing that nasty standard window scroller on the right ?

Re: no scrollbar in IE? milov, 020907 11:14
Well, if you really want to discourage people from using the scrollbar (which might not be appreciated by people who don't have a mousewheel), you could always colour the scrollbar the same as the background color... That way you don't have to disable it and the mousewheel will still work:
body

  { background-color:#666666;

    scrollbar-face-color:#666666;

    scrollbar-shadow-color:#666666;

    scrollbar-highlight-color:#666666;

    scrollbar-3dlight-color:#666666;

    scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#666666;

    scrollbar-track-color:#666666;

    scrollbar-arrow-color:#666666; }

CSS fix John Webber, 021027 21:22
Many thanks to milov for his CSS fix. I tried to remove scrollbars using javascript:

<head>

<script language="_JavaScript">

<!-- Begin

function hidden()

{document.body.style.overflow='hidden';}

function unhidden()

{document.body.style.overflow='';}

// End -->

</script>

</head>

<body onfiltered="hidden()">

</body>



That didnt work so I went looking for the answer, stumbled into this thread, and fixed the problem.
Thanks again.

It is a very simply: it is enough to define your CSS like BODY {overflow:auto}. Maybe there has to be a Strict DTD defined in your HTML (HMTL 4.01 Strict or XHTML 1.0 Strict).

Re: no scrollbar in IE? Which Languages to use? - Answer… logspirit, 030228 00:05
JavaScript is CLIENT SIDE SCRIPTING - it runs on the surfer's computer... Good to spread the computing load to the client (your surfers)... BUT! They can shut it off!!! Good for non critical scripts - formatting, rollovers, 'bells & whistles' that give Your site some user interaction - if the script is critical to the operation of Your site LET YOUR SURFERS KNOW!!! Instruct them as to how to enable JavaScript. For a FREE Introductory 5 week JavaScript class see: http://class.scriptschool.com/javascript/101/ (Which I Authored - but many folks say it is very good! Includes a forum for Your questions.)

CSS is strictly for formatting. By using an EXTERNAL CSS 'style sheet' You can alter the look of all Your sites' pages without changing each page one at a time.

PHP is SERVER SIDE scripting. It runs on the server BEFORE the page is sent to the surfer. Especially good for dynamic pages - those which automatically update from various data sources, like XML feeds. It is good to incorporate DATABASE operations especially MySQL but PHP works well with many databases or even just simple server side files. Has 'session variables' which work like temporary cookies for - 'keeping state' - sharing data from page to page on your site during a browsing 'session', but unlike cookies, they do not require your surfer's permission. Good for shopping carts, search engines, translations, spell checking, dynamic graphics, sending automatic email through scripts, secure entries, back end database access, ftp, etc. etc. etc. For an excellent FREE introductory 16 week class on PHP: http://www.scriptschool.com/php/ (Which I did NOT author. Has a forum for Your questions.)

I hope this is helpful... if a bit off topic!!! Perhaps I'll re-post it again under a new title...

Re: no scrollbar in IE? Ruben Goethals, 030401 11:13
Hi, everyone, reading this thread, I suppose this belongs here:
I want the same thing: no scrollbars, only not in the main document itself, but in a embedded document with the tag <object>.
Here is the code:
<object style="position:absolute;left:50px;top:270;" align="left" border="0" width="240" scroll="no" height="153" 

DATA="http://www.meteodata.at/HTML/be/be_prog.html"></OBJECT>
 
Mind that I can't change the html file because it is not mine.
I tried everything above: overflow, scroll="no", JavaSCript, but the scrollbars keep being visible.
Anyone ?
I suppose i have to do something like this in JavaScript, but cant find exactly what:
document.object.all.body.overflow=hidden
  ??????????

no scrollbar in Opera 7 ? adoxe, 030827 20:54
Since I know most of what is talked in here, I thought there must be at least one guru which will know what's different with Opera...

a simple style like "overflow: hidden" works great to hide scrollbars for both IE and NS but seems to work only half the time in Opera... I'm using some "mobile" <div> to animate some stuff in the BG. The problem occurs when my boxes (<div>) goes out of the screen : in IE and NS, everything is fine but in Opera, the scrollbar appears and then disappear when the <div> is moved somewhere else (inside the screen in fact)

Check it out if you got Opera @ : http://trance.kingdom.cjb.net/

Thank a bunch, this one is simple for those who knows a bit in Opera I gues, but kind of hard for me... ;)

And overflow-y and overflow-x will be part of the CSS3 specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box/#the-overflow-x

Why would you desing only for IE? The reaon you find it hard to design for Netscpe 6x up is that they are standards compliant and IE is not. The scrool bars are M$ proprietary css and not standards based. That is why it does noW never .wil work in browsers other than IE windoze

Re: overflow-x:hidden doesnt work! Adam, 031002 04:26
I dont know if I'm doing something wrong, but overflow-x:hidden doesn't seem to work at all in IE6, I'm surprised no-one else has come across this?!?! I specified <body style="overflow-x:hidden;overflow-y:auto;"> in the body of the src page in the IFrame, and the bottom scrollbar is still appearing.

PS. Joe, IE had a MUCH better CSS implementation than Netscape for a LONG time. Even the most simple of attributes such as the a:hover & a:visited were available in IE YEARS before Netscape. While no the topic, one of the things I particularily liked about IE was that it worked! Netscapes random crashes and unexplained behaviour is unacceptable.

I have an iframe that is positioned absolutely, floating a little way down the screen. Whenever a target/bookmark link is clicked within it, the iframe scrolls to the right place but it drags the main window down with it so that the line that is bookmarked it at the top of the browser window. Could I stop this so that the bookmarked line is at the top of the iframe but the main window doesen't move?

Re: no scrollbar in IE? bigfoot.com,126995,homiee, 040218 07:26
I added

overflow-x: hidden

didn't work

I tried some of the javascripts mentioned here

didn't work either

only <body scroll="no"> worked for me
but it doesn't help much since it disables both scrollbars

sucks

overflow-x: hidden; wouldn't work for me either, in IE 6.x but it worked fine in Netscape 7.01

So I removed the DTD at the top of the html document. This puts IE 6.x into Quirk-mode and then it works fine.

Re: no scrollbar in IE? Brandon Aguilar, 040301 06:39
I was having what I thought was an overflow issue for the longest time. Nothing seemed to work... NOTHING. That's when I tried removing the horizontal scrollable as a quick fix, but even that wasn't working... even using all the methods mentioned here. I found out the problem was the DOCTYPE at the top of my page! Somehow it had gotten corrupted and only read:
<!DOCTYPE HTML
 

So I just deleted the entire line, and all has worked great since! No need to remove the scrollable after all!
Maybe others are having this same problem?

how do you get rid of the highlight/base color? malcolm, 040302 00:16
I'm trying to make it so the scrollbars on my journal page float over the background image instead of over a block of shaded color.

I've tried all I know or could guess...

1)
scrollbar-base-color = "no";
scrollbar-highlight-color = "no";
2)
scrollbar-base-color: transparent;
scrollbar-highlight-color: transparent;

and some other stuff...none of it works. Help me please.

Re: no scrollbar in IE? Twitch, 040408 01:37
If you wanted to use a css or cascading style sheet to hide your scroll bar but would like it to appear if needed. Instead of using
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { overflow:hidden; }
-->
</style>
which will hide it even when needed
Replace (hidden) with (auto). This will fix your prob.
Heck. I found out myself just by messing with the css file and thought.... If hidden = nothing, auto should make it automatic. duh. lol

Re: sivakumar Twitch, 040408 01:53
To answer your question Sivakumar. In the iframe tag it should look like this.

<iframe src="....." title="...." scroling="yes,no,auto" name="the name of the frame">
<!-- Alternate content for non-supporting browsers -->
Your browser does not support iframes. You will be redirected in 5 seconds.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5";url=#>
</iframe>

If you would like them to be redirected to a url if their browser does not support frames you would type the whole meta thing.
That's it. The 5 means it will take 5 seconds for it to redirect. I also recomend that you put a link to the other site in case it does not redirect them.

Re: no scrollbar in IE? Shawn, 040519 22:34
The overflow: hidden; bit doesn't work for me in IE6 when my DOCTYPE is set to XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

Here's the page I'm working on (it validates):

http://www.nerdburn.com/css/

It works like a charm in Mozilla, but I get a horizontal scrollbar in IE (because to align #switcher to the right I used a negative margin on one side, and 100% on the other).

Does anybody know why this might be? If so, how might I fix it?

Re: no scrollbar in IE? Kirk Bentley, 050407 02:28
To remove the horizontal scroll in internet explorer and still keep your doctype...

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">;

you must add scroll="yes" to your body tag and add overflow-x:hidden and overflow-y:auto to your css...

works a treat.

Re: no scrollbar in IE? David O'Sullivan, 050427 01:01
Grrrr have tried every thing here but I am not very experienced at all this so there maybe something I am putting in the wrong place or something. I have a layer over the top of a table that has the text in it on www.withpanache.co.uk/about.html

It is currently coming up with a scroll bar I need on the vertical but a redundant one on the vertical and try as I may I cannot get rid of it and its driving me INSANE! I am makig this i InDesign so there is a #layer1 line controlling everything in the layer which is as follows:

#layer1 { visibility: visible; position: absolute; top: 170px; left: 165px; width: 490px; height: 259px; overflow: scroll; clip: rect(auto auto 260px auto); }

changing 'overflow: scroll' to 'overflow-x: hidden; ovcerflow-y: scroll' makes things work ok in IE6 but not Mozilla/Firefox.

Any clues anyone?
