hi, can somebody please point me in the right direction with regards to getting rid of the bottom scrollbar (moves from side to side) that appears on my page. It only comes up when accessing it using internet explorer but doesn't happen when using firefox or when accessing it from my hard drive. it's a weird problem.

can probably be fixed with a simple line of code.

thanks

oh, and just realised scrollbars don't come up when accessing this:

could it be something with blocking cookies?

Just curious here but you have frameset with rows="100%, *" and then only one frame there. If there's only one frame then you really don't need to use frames. Is there some reason you're using them?

it doens't use frames...dreamweaver just adds it...it's a pain doing things in dreamweaver sometimes because as soon as my page requires a scrollbar to go down, it adds one to go sideways even though it doesn't need one.

only funny thing is that when i access it on the original server address, the side scrollbar doesn't appear...it's weird.

ok...i figured out the problem...

as soon as i turn on the url gripper (masking: cheekydetch.com) it puts the bottom scrollbar there. when i turn it off and it displays the original page address (http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/samplitude/...), the scrollbar goes.

hows that for a weird problem?

i also figured out that namesecure, the people i have my domian with put the frameset there when i turn the masking on. thats what screws it. i'll have to email them about it.

So it was because of the frameset after all huh? Yeah I'd email them about it and see what can be done. There's no need for the frames to be there so I'd try to get rid of them if I were you.
