Right side of page shifts to the left when the scroll bar appears?

[blakemckenna]

Is it possible to prevent a web page from shifting to the left when the page scroll bar appears? I'm guessing it is but have no idea how to prevent it.

thanks,

Please show us an example. It might change if you have changed the width of the div so that it excludes the scrollbar's width also. This is my guess, without seeing the code.

Hi there blakemckenna,

The vertical scrollbar will always move the page content to the left if it has fixed width
and margin:auto or a percentage margin-left value.

Using this CSS...

body {
    overflow-y:scroll;
 }

...will put a scroll bar on the pages that don't require them and keep all pages uniform.
