Dear amigo's, and muchacho's.
Can someone please help me to solve a very simple problem.
The following html code produces a single orange sheet :-

<body bgcolor="orange" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"
rightmargin="0" bottommargin="0" border="0"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" height="100%" >
</body>

However I can't seem to get rid of the 'ghosted' vertical scroll bar on the right side.
Can someone please give me guidance ?

Thanks, Angelo.

Hello Angelo,

Try this;

<html>
<body bgcolor="orange" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"
rightmargin="0" bottommargin="0" border="0"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" height="100%">
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
</body>
</html>

Let me know if it this is what you mean.

Correction. There shouldn't be any gaps in the word 'orang e' ;

<html>
<body bgcolor="orange" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"
rightmargin="0" bottommargin="0" border="0"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" height="100%">
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
</body>
</html>

Weirdgear, thanks alot for your help, I really appreciate it, and need it.

Unfortunately your response is not what I really want.
Your solution changes the colour of the right vertical scroll bar, from white to orange.
Whereas I am trying to get rid of this scroll bar completely.

Any more ideas ?

Thanks alot, Dundee.

<body scrollbar="no">

You can put yes (always scrollbar), no (never scrollbar) and auto (scrollbar when content goes further than page) for the scrollbar values.

I can't remember whether scrollbar="" or scroll="" is the correct HTML for that, but either works, if you're not worried about valid HTML.

Did you get rid of the gaps in the word 'orang e' and change to 'orange'?

How about opening the page in a page 'pop up' window, the scrollbars are usually removed. I have done this before using Dreamweaver 4. Perhaps you could try that out.

HTML Code:

<body bgcolor="#FF9900" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" rightmargin="0" bottommargin="0" scroll="no">

or better yet

HTML Code:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
	background-color:#FF9900;
	margin-left: 0px;
	margin-top: 0px;
	margin-right: 0px;
	margin-bottom: 0px;
}
-->
</style>
<body scroll="no">

The above uses CSS instead. If you're looking to validate your page(s), CSS is helpful because you run into less errors. Sorry, I'm not sure there is a CSS attribute for scrolling.

Hope it helps,
Micah
