Hi, I have a website that is CSS based, with the main content portion in a div with scrollbars and I've tested it in IE7 as well as Firefox and it appears to work fine on my computer and other computers in my house. However, the scrollbars are not showing up on my client's (old) laptop - she also uses IE7.
I can't figure out why that would be? Is there something about an older computer that would not recognize the CSS scrollbars?
Here are links to the page and the css:

Thank you for any help you can offer.

The computer is not the determining factor and IE7 is IE7. So something else is causing this problem.

Any idea what that might be? If it works in the browser on other computers, does this mean it's in my code somewhere that I can fix?
No, it's not your markup. It's their computer.

Okay. Thanks for the clarification.
brwniydgirl,
I agree that it's something wrong on your clients computer, but there is actually a larger, more important issue that you are missing. When you put your content into a frame, the search engines do not consider it to be content on, in this case, the home page of the site. So, the content of the home page doesn't include, for the purpose of search engine indexing, anything regarding the books which are for sale. That is the main point of this page, correct? You would do your client a real service by getting rid of the frame oriented design. Frames should be avoided for the purpose of having better search engine optimization, unless there is sufficient relevant content outside the frame.

Hi,
(also posted in netscape.public.mozilla.browser)
i use netscape 7 and want to hide the scrollbars of the window when
something happens. I tried this:
window.scrollbars.visible=false
window.scrollbars.visibility="no"

nothing works
Is it also possible only to hide the vertical scrollbar instead of both?

I hope this is the correct place to ask this question. If not, would some
kind person tell me where I should? In IE, one can use the javascript code,
"document.body.scroll='yes/no'" to dynamically control the visibility of a
window's scrollbars. Is there an equivalent for W3C browsers (in my case
firefox 1.0.6) that does not require messing with browser security?
Thanks in advance,

I cannot get rid of the scrollbars that are showing up on all my asp.net
controls. Buttons, Labels, everything.
It has something to do with my css. If I remove rel="stylesheet" from <LINK
href="mystylesheet.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"> it works but then
of course my styles do not work.
these scrollbars do not appear at run time. Just in design mode.
Thanks for any help.
