Everybody has been posting on this forum about having a "transparent" scrollbar. There is a way to have no scrollbar:

<body scroll="no">

or

<div scroll="no">

etc.

I dont know if this question has already been answered but...


Also: a way to make your scrollbar appear transparant is to make the whole thing it is a scrollbar of (e.g. a div or the body) have a filter like this:

filter: alpha(opacity=100, style=1);

Then, if the scrollbar is right at the right hand edge it will be transparant. You will need to define the colours (make them storng colours) of the following attributes of the scrollbar for it to be visible:

scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #000000;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;

This might help\somebody, but the onyl thing is everything inside the filtered area will fadeaway to the right :confused:

for an example of a transparant scrollbar using this method go to www.tekp.com/old/chronolog.php and click on one of the thumbnails on the left to make the text overflow.

hope i could help

Unfortunately, <body scroll="no"> is a microsoft-only attribute.

If you want NO scrollbars WHATSOEVER, though... you can just use a transparent frameset:

<frameset>
<frame src="mypage.htm" scrolling="no"/>
</frameset>

Cool. I see it.

Not something I would use professionally, myself, though.

Yeah that doesn't look good at all (the faded font).

There is definately a way around it though using CSS and classes. Why don't you look into it and tell us when you find out, Dragon? :)
