scroll bar shifting navigation off center

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

hi all,

i am having a problem with the scroll bar shifting my navigation bar off center. detailed as follows:

*the navigation is in a centered table.

*the content of each page varies in length but the navigation bar is always identical.

*on pages that require scrolling the navigation bar shifts slightly because the centre of the page moves to accommodate the scroll bar. (when ideally the navigation should look as if it never moves)

*is there a way to avoid this besides adding blank paragraphs to the shorter pages to make all the pages the same length?

thanks in advance
ab

@mrhooJan 31.2007 — If you want to force the vertical scrollbar to always be visible add this to your css: [B]html {min-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 1px}[/B]

Although IE6 doesn't understand 'min-height', the scrollbar is always visible in that browser by default - unless you change the body overflow property.

The other browsers understand min-height and add a 1 px margin to force the scrollbar.

Success!
