Re: The scrollbar and Firefox.

Agree. Why would you want to replicate this stupid behavior of IE?


It ensures that the content area of the page doesn't change width
depending on the height of the content. This can be a undesired
effect in a situation where a visitor is moving between several pages
in quick succession (for example, when filling in a form split across
multiple pages).

And one has a consistent and, say, centered background on multiple pages.

I've only once worked on a site where the effect has
been annoying enough for me to apply the overflow:scroll rule, but I
don't regard the original poster's comment as an illegitimate
complaint.


Ah, but Microsoft has decreed that only thy vertical scrollbar shall
be ever present. It is okay for the horizontal one to pop in and out
as needed and intrude on vertical viewport space! I just find that
funny.

Microsoft _is_ funny (-in a peculiar way.)

Not valid, but overflow-y:scroll; works last time I checked.
