adding a border adds scrollbar
howdy folks, to spare my aching brain.

I added a thin border to a div and low and behold a scroll appeared that was not there before.

The content is way smaller than the div, when scolling just a touch and the content is way within that.

Before I used padding but that is not working.

if you add a border, what items do you need to set to offset the difference the border makes.

Thanks

back to google to keep looking

RE: adding a border adds scrollbar
no need to repeat yourself :-)

here is the div creation

<div id="focus-content" name="extras" style="position: absolute; top: 20px; left: 485px; height: 391px; width: 499px; overflow-y: auto;overflow-x: hidden;padding-right: 5px;visibility: hidden;border: thin solid white; background-color: #336699;scrollbar-face-color: #336699;scrollbar-3dlight-color: #336699;scrollbar-base-color: #336699;scrollbar-track-color: #336699;scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #336699;scrollbar-arrow-color: #336699;scrollbar-shadow-color: white;scrollbar-highlight-color: white;">

I have tried bottom padding, 0 right padding and lots of other things.

without the border in there it is fine, with the border it gives me a scroll bar.

thanks for that, must be something special or maybe I miscalculated somewhere, I will take another look.

BTW - 200th post for me - wow, didn't think I had that much to say.

RE: adding a border adds scrollbar
this is still not working, I took the div right down, far away from all edges.
took out most of the content from the inner div so it no longer scrolls.

still the outer div scrolls!

is there anyway I can turn scrolling off for a div???? that would be very useful.

it still doe not do it when there is no border, why is this?

this is beginning to get to me!

Code:
overflow: hidden;
