How do you disable horiz. scrollbar?

[zenweezil]

I'm sure this is an easy code, but I can't find it.

How do you disable the horizontal scrollbar of a browser?

I am mostly interested in internet explorer so if it only works in IE that is OK.

Thanks in advance,
Stephen

zen...
you can just a prevent® it from just a happening® ifin' you keep your 'page width' to the widest of the lowest res...
ummm do you know whats just a causing® it??? aka do you have just a widdde® graphic orrr perhaps your site is in just a table® which is tooo wide in pixels??? orrr your page is in just a framesetup® n' one of the 'frames' contents is tooo wide???

you cannn just a disable® the scrollbars though...both vertical n' horizontal...ifin' ya use just a popup® window n' tell ittts 'properties' ...scrollbars="no"

do ya have just a link® to where its happening??? twould help just a bit® in finding your solution...:O)))

here's the code for it:

<style type="text/css">

body
{
overflow-x: hidden
}

</style>

another option (taking above script)

<style type="text/css">

body
{
overflow: auto
}

</style>

this way your visitor has a scroll-bar if the window is
smaller than max. and it works on the fly :-)

But all the same .. first look at what it is that's causing them. Generally, disabling scrollbars is not a good idea, because you make parts of your page inaccessible - and you can't necessarily control how big that part is.

I second Brothercake: scroll bars are there for a reason; leave them alone! If your content forces a horizontal scroll bar, it's too wide for the window it's displayed in.

I mean....
sometimes if you work with iframes you'll have an unavoidable overflow.

who cares?
You. When people can't read your pages. :D

You, when you visit another site with the same attitude, and discover that *you* can't read it.

Who cares? Your visitors, who probably will be so ticked off by your attitude that they'll leave almost instantly. Be that way if you want to, but why bother building a web site in the first place?
