I need to know how to eliminate the horizontal scroll bar in my regular browser window. It's not in an iframe or regular frame. Just the basic scroll bar.

Please help! Thanks! :)

style="overflow-x:hidden"
Add that inside the <body> tag.
If you disable the scrollbar, remember people with smaller resolutions may not be able to see your entire page.

Hey,

Thanks for that script, it's works great here at work. See, I work for the County and I'm doing the county website: http://www.fremontco.com

Here at work everyone has XP, some have a res of 800x600 and others have it at 1024x768 and others have the largest resolution. Anyway, so here at work the horizontal scroll bar DOESN'T show up (which is good) and the vertical scroll bar DOES show up, which is good too.

However, when I go home to view the site NEITHER of the scroll bars show up. This is a problem. I have Windows '98 and the same version of IE that we have here at work. My supervisor has the same setup at his home, and he said that it works fine for him. No horizontal scroll bar, but he does have a vertical scroll bar, unlike mine at home.

He's sure that I'm not the only one out there with this problem. The website just went live today so we can't have people not being able to scroll down and up!

So my question is............


Does anyone know of a DIFFERENT scroll bar that eliminates the horizontal scroll bar?

Thank you! I really hope someone can help.

I just reread my question realized it doesn't make since, so here's what I mean:

Does anyone know of a DIFFERENT SCRIPT that eliminates the horizontal scroll bar?

Thanks again,

either use the css provided OR you will have to make your content of your page fit into the iframe dimensions naturally.

i checked the link you provided and see only the side scrollbars.
i am using IE6, Win98, 800x600.

if you have having problems at home, perhaps something on your puter needs an update or you might have a puter bug.

Even before I added the script to remove the horizontal scroll bar, I could still view everything without having to scroll (in 800x600) but there was still a scroll bar there and it looked tacky.

So actually everything does fit and you don't have to scroll (in 800x600).

Anyway, let's just hope the problem is only on my computer at home.

And what did you mean by the CSS provided? You mean the CSS I already have on my page?

Thanks,
Rene
