So how do i take the

<body scroll="no">

tag and make it so its in CSS?

I have this tag on my site but W3C is demanding that it gets fixed. My site is in HTML 4.01 Loose with a encoding of utf-8

Hello FrickenTrevor,
put something like this in your CSS -body {
overflow: hidden;
}

That will give stop any scrollbar from appearing. It will also hide any content that needed a scrollbar, like if someone were to view your site on a cellphone or something.
See the w3schools page on overflow - http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_pos_overflow.asp

I have this tag on my site but W3C is demanding that it gets fixed. My site is in HTML 4.01 Loose with a encoding of utf-8I believe the correct name is HTML 4.01 Transitional. (The DTD file is named "loose.dtd" though.)
