It can be quite obvious or annoying sometimes, not sure if there is a solution but I'd like to know it if there is though

Hi Tom,

Try this..

html {overflow-y: scroll;}

Here's some more info on the overflow properties.

@Aarlev overflow-x / overflow-y are css3 properties?

would overflow:scroll; work or would that give you a horizontal scroll bar too?

maybe body {height:100%; margin-bottom:-10px;} something like that might work for the pages that aren't long enough?

Yeah I don't know of any solutions with css2. So yeah I guess I'm not much of a help.

I tried overflow:scroll once and that gives you a horizontal scrollbar as well.

I've seen this mentioned a few times in .net magazine (Q/A write in section) I'll have a look through a couple later and see if I can pick it up...

@Aarlev - stuck your solution into the css and it worked a treat on all browsers. thanks

html{ height:101%;}

That's the best standard and cross browser solution. overflow-y isn't universally recognised…
