[HTML] How to show scrollbars ALWAYS (no frames) by robochief on 06-02-2005 at 02:54 PM

I want to make vertical scrollbar visible in a web page always, but using no frames. (I don't use frames because it's just one page)

Can it be done?

<body scroll="yes">

You can also do it with css

body{ overflow: scroll;}

Makes both scrollbars visible, but I only need the vertical.
Any other solution?

body{overflow-y: scroll;}

should work only for vertical scrollbars

Still, no vertical scrollbar. (The thing is, that I want the vertical scrollbar appear always, even if the page is short and ca be visualized entirely in the browser window.
In IE I always see the vertical scrollbar, but in Firefox, no.

This should work

{overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;}

It does, thank you. :)
The only thing is, that the vertical scrollbar looks enabled, even if the page is short. Even like that, it0s okay, because I need the vertical scrollbars so the different pages (long or short) looks alike (width), but if I can make the vertical scrollbar appear disabled in the short pages, it would be better. ;)
Any suggestion?

Sorry, but i'm pretty sure it isn't possible to make it appear disabled. I think the  {overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;} is the best you can get.
