It's just the scrollbar that get added to the browser that makes the page shift ... is that what you're talking about?

That scrollbar shifting issue I believe was started in Safari and I think got fixed. Man did I bang my head over that one a few times.

is there a better way to get around this then using the following code?

html, body {min-height:101%; margin-bottom:1px}

everywhere I looked, and I did a search before posting this, has a similar answer.

The only way around it is to have the scroll well visible at all times unfortunately. Although I am not sure it is still an issue with the updated browsers that caused it initially.

I don't see what the big deal is?! I mean ... it shifts ... so what?! It's not like it removes 50px from your site and screws up the whole design. If you're designing for a 800x600 res in mind, your width should be 780px to compensate for that.

If you absolutely want the scrollbar to be visible at all time just add overflow: visible; to html, body { ... }

I use

Code: Select all

html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0 0 1px; }

It's an aesthetics thing Karinne
