Using scrolling="auto" in the <frame> tag causes the scrollbar to appear only when needed.
Oh, and I don't feel like arguing about the use of the colors with the scrollbars. It looks pretty need with IE, and the JavaScript code is minimal.
As I haven't mastered CSS myself yet, I know it's a real handy way to change your layout (background colors, scrollbars, font etc.) in the blink of an eye, I won't argue about the use of it either. :-)
