Hi,

I have been designing my website in dreamweaver and have set the width of all pages at 800 px. In firefox the site views perfectly and there are no horizontal scroll bars on any page.

However, in internet explorer, on every page which has to have a vertical scroll bar, it also adds a pointless horizontal one that looks ugly.

I need to get this taken out somehow but can't figure out a way to do it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

The website is http://www.hcbwholesale.co.uk

Cheers,
Joe Wetherill

The problem is with the fact you are using frames. You will notice that in FF if you resize the page such that there needs to be a vertical scrollbar, the content in the bottom frame "jumps" to the eft due to the width of the scroll bar (which is only in the bottom frame). IE takes a different approach and keeps the width of the bottom frame the same as the top frame. Because of the scrollbar, par of the content of the bottom frame is hidden beneath it - thus the horizontal scroll bar. The browsers just take different methods in how to handle that situation. You would have to layout your pages in a different manner to get rid of the horizontal scrollbar in IE.

Preferable by getting rid of the frames.
