Scroll Bars

David · **Posted:** June 7th, 2007, 8:38 pm

I am in the middle of developing a web publication (a family history). Photos are filed on line and I have a mySQL DB with information for each photograph. This is all fine.

In order to display the photos I need use either a browser object or docview object (so I can use a URL to where the photos are stored). This works fine. However, I would like to get rid of the scroll bars that appear in both objects. After resizing the horizontal scroll bar will disappear but the vertical is always there.

Any suggestions anyone?

someone in this forum gave me this solution...
show the page you want in a frameset

<html>
<head>
<title>your page title</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="100%">
<frame src="thepageyouwanttoshow.html" scrolling="no">
</frameset>
</html>

this eliminates the scrollbars...

Hi Mac

Thanks for this. Unfortunately, this only seems to work for the main browser page and not the browser object I have embedded into the web pub.

The browser object properties are fairly limited. It would be useful to have an option to turn scroll bars off.

Whilst far from ideal- I have come up with a solution (this is what I love about Opus - there is nearly always a solution!)

I created 4 docView objects and placed these at each side of the browser image. All 5 objects contained within a frame. Not elegant - but it works!

Still looking for a programing solution
