WebPages: How To: Create page with NO scroll bars. [DEAD ISSUE]

Esteemed Forum Participants and Lurkers:
===============================
Windows 2000 Professional

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can create Web (IntRAnet) pages without any scroll bars where the page is always larger than the window. We want to use links to anchors to browse the page instead of scroll bars. We want to keep all of the information on one page to simplify the maintenance of the information, so we don't want to create a separate page for each link. Incidentally, we use Serena Collage (no comment) for creating and publishing pages.

Huh? If you don't want scroll bars, make your page small enough to fit in the browser window. Use percentages to dynamically scale everything.

I don't know if you can't make a page that's larger (width or height wise) than the browser and not have scroll bars show up.

Besides, this is the wrong forum for this anyway

That would mean controling the behavior of the browser.... not something easily done from the webpage.

I looked through the entire list of VBWire forums and guessed this one. Could you suggest a better place?

We want to force navigation through links and anchors if possible, and the page is intentionally too large for the 'average' window. If we limit the amount of information visible, we have found that it cuts down on the user 'confusion factor'. We just don't want to maintain multiple pages.

What he meant to say is “you should have posted in the HTML, XML, JavaScript forum”

Anyway, you can do this using Frame sets

When he mentioned "forums" he meant there's Web Develolpment specific forum on this site....

I still stand by my assertion that what you are asking to do is change the behavior of the browser, which simply cannot be done from the webpage.... unless you want to roll out your own browser.. but I don't know if that'll fly either...

Thanks Techgnome ... I think I've convinced the instigator of this idea to abandon it. We are definitely NOT rolling our own browser! That is so far beyond our capabilities as to be laughable.

I can move the thread but it depends on what your using Art. basic html, asp, asp.net, etc. :)

Thanks RobDog, but it is a dead issue now. I'll just mark this thread 'resolved'.

We create pages in Serena Collage (no comment) and we only have limited access to some HTML code inside the secured XML page masters.

Use the overflow property in your CSS stylesheet.

Code:

---

html, body {
  overflow: hidden;
}
