Uh, not sure *why* you'd want to do this, since the scrollbar only
appears if the page content won't fit within the viewport, but ...
This works in Moz/Firebird 0.7, IE 5.5, Opera 7.22 (Win):
<script type="text/javascript">
function init()
{
/* these first two lines are only necessary for Moz; not sure
* why its computation of height differs, at least in my very
* brief test... alternate: see CSS below --
*/
document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].style.height="100%";
document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].style.height="95%";
document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].style.overflow="hidden";
}
window.onload = init;
</script>
You can also set the heights for Moz statically, as:
<style type="text/css">
html {
height: 100%;
clip: auto;
}
body {
height: 95%;
clip: auto;
}
</style>
FWIW!
