Hi,

I'm in the process of developing a site using XHTML 1.0 and CSS.  

On one of the pages I have content which is initially hidden, with the
user option to view it...for many screen resolutions, this page is less
than a 'screen' high initially, but if users choose to view any of the
hidden content this causes it to extend to the point that scroll bars
become necessary...on a standards compliant browser, this means that the
content all 'jumps' to the left by the width of the scroll bars...

I've tried adding overflow: scroll to the body tag, however this puts a
scroll bar at the bottom of the content, rather than the bottom of the
screen for 'short' pages...and in IE, it gives a double left scroll bar...

Is there any way to have a permanent left hand scroll bar in standards
compliant browsers...??

I hope I've explained myself properly...

TIA
Steve
