scrollbar?
Of course, though I believe that today 800x600 is more common and therefore
the whole site will be designed for 800x600. But still at least IE (but I
believe Netscape too) displays a scrollbar at the right site, even when it's
not used and I'd like to get rid of it.
Bye!
Mozilla-based browsers will not render a scrollbar unless the content
overflows the windows [requested] dimensions. In other words, if you
remove the scrollbar(s) in Mozilla-based browsers, then you are clipping
the content, your content away from your visitors. They won't notice
(visual feedback) there might be more content if you remove scrollbar(s).
In MSIE, all you have to do is set this css rule:
html {overflow:auto; margin:8px;}
and you'll remove the inactive scrollbar you're mentioning due to the
default MSIE browser css rule
html {overflow:scroll;}.
With
html {overflow:auto}
scrollbars will only appear in MSIE if needed, if content overflows
windows [requested] dimensions.
What you do with a fullscreen mode is quite wrong, IMO. Even MSDN warns
developers of doing what you do. Without statusbar, users are not
informed of connections, secure socket, download notifications. Without
menubar, they are less in control of their web visit and definitively
feel not safe. All your posts simply ignore this (and many more
usability matters) and are only motivated by a will to impose your
preference.
