Strange Scroll Bars In Internet Explorer

Hi everyone,

I have been working on converting a site from a frames / tables layout
to a CSS based one.

I thought I had it all sorted, however I am getting some odd behaviour
in IE:

when I visit http://www.smanagement.co.uk/newsite/people.php?id=4 in
Internet Explorer a horizontal scroll bar appears for the window (I
expect one to appear in the middle of the page as I am using overflow:
auto for that div). However if I then refresh the page, or resize it
the scroll bar goes away. This doesn't happen in firefox and it seems
that it only happens in IE the first time.

Has anyone seen this before? It's really strange.

Many thanks in advance,

Lewis

Really? There is only one simple javascript function on the page..
Could you possibly send me the error and what browser you are using?

If anyone else can see the problem that I am having any help would
still be appreciated

Many thanks,

Lewis

That was Firefox, I see an equivalent error in IE6 too though. Looks
like you got some line breaks where you shouldn't.

The problem is probably that you are using xhtml with javascript comment
segmentors. Try removing the js and see if the ie scrollbar disappears.

Hi Neredbojias

Thanks for all your help, really appreciated.

I've takent the following steps:

1) Moved the javascript function to an external file
2) Removed all javascript from the page, including the function calls

and the scroll bar still appears sometimes

Thanks in advance

When I open a form design window in Access 2003 it *always* has scroll bars, this is even when the form itself is tiny. It's as if the 'page' on which the form is being designed is very large. Is this normal? If so it's very annoying and confusing. If not then how do I get it so my form design window doesn't have scroll bars. -- Chris Green

The problem is variable - excuse the pun - sometimes the scroll bar is never there, sometimes it disappears after a...

I was using quirks mode (without a doctype) and set the overflow CSS property to :auto for the body tag like so: <body style="overflow:auto"> And it worked; it got rid of IE's default scroll bars. However, when I tried to add any doctype at all (HTML strict, HTML loose, XHTML transitional, XHTML strict, etc.), it stopped working. Do I have any control over IE's scroll bars when using doctypes?
