[Pro] a fun question (if you have a second)

Hi all,

this is coming from left field…

is there a way to make my page have a vertical scroll bar without having to make the page longer with dead space?

Many of my pages are kind of short (say 700pxls in height), and will not have a vertical scroll bar which is fine except every time someone goes from that page to a taller one a “shift” happens to make room for the scroll bar.

So what I did was make the “shorter” pages seem longer (taller) with dead space below the text/graphic on page but when people scroll down there is not much there and does not look so well.

This page shows you what I mean.

thanks for your ideas,

Up late Barry? - Or very early!

Try this in Page>Html Markup in the before section

<style type = "text/css">
html {
       overflow-y: scroll;
}
</style>

back to a bad habit…

step 1

  1. read 4 year old a story at 8:30pm
  2. tuck her in
  3. fall asleep next to her
  4. wake up at 2am
  5. screwed for next 5 days!

will try… stay tuned.

thanks

pretty cool. I made a page super short (like 400pxl height) and added what you said.

it doesn’t really add a moving scroll bar but like a static scroll bar there which prevents shifting.

real cool- going to check on multiple monitors at school.

appreciate the idea.
