I'm a long time Frontpage user and am trying to give Dreamweaver a chance (mainly because of the php features).

Problem is: even if I create a page with nothing on it, it has a vertical scrollbar on the right.

I've searched this forum and found a couple solutions.
1) scroll="auto" (in the body tag)
2) overflow-y: hidden (as a body style)

The 1st solution leaves a ghost of where the scrollbar would be, but it is an automatic solution which allows for a page to have a scrollbar if needed.

The 2nd solution solves the ghost problem and the table in the example spans the full width of the page.

Examples of the problem. (http://briversbb.com/wildflowers/test_basic.htm)

What I need is:
An automatic solution that will put a scrollbar on the page when needed and doesn't show the ghost.

Help please from the Dreamweaver gurus!

on the overflow-y add some text on the page so it would have to scroll so I can see what it does.

Jared, I think I found the answer.
I was using the overflow-y: hidden, but overflow-y: auto was what I was looking for. I don't know why though, with Dreamweaver, I have to solve this scrollbar problem.

As far as putting text on the page, the same thing can be accomplished by resizing the height of your browser smaller.

Thanks for the reply.

hmmm, that is strange. Have you tried making the scroll bar just the exact same colors as your page (sneaky sneaky) ^-^
