Hello FrickenTrevor,
put something like this in your CSS -

Code:

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

You could use <body style="overflow: hidden;">. I would recommend taking Excavator's approach and using an embedded or external style sheet with selectors to apply this CSS though.

I believe the correct name is HTML 4.01 Transitional. (The DTD file is named "loose.dtd" though.)
