Greetings !

I don't know if this is the right place to ask about this, so forgive me 
if it's not.

I just encountered an old IE bug. It makes up room for a scrollbar on 
the page, even if it doesn't need one. I'm using a frameset with a 
topbar and main.

|==================|
|   Topbar         |
|------------------|
|   main           |
|                  |
|==================|

The "scrollbar-placeholder" only appears in the main frame.

So, my question is, is there a simple, HTML 4.0 Trans, way to get around 
this bug ?

The workaround should be compatible with IE4>, Moz and Opera5>.

I can't give you a link to the HTML here, and I haven't got time to 
produce a small testcase right now.. But if you require so, I'll do it 
tomorrow.

Thank you,
