Hi Thnaks for answering...:)

Here is the code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Inicio</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.fouettedance.com/favicon.ico">
<STYLE type="text/css">

</STYLE>

I'm thinking that maybe somethinge like: scrollbar-size:*, or scrollbar-width, or width-size may work...

Have you seen this effect before? i remember i saw it once few months a go but at the moment didn't care about...

Thanks

Here 's a link:

You can size the scrollbar as this script suggests. But you might have some restrictions to your pages

Remember that the scrollbar script that jdavia gave you might not work on older browsers. You might also want to do a browser detection script so that you can be sure those users are able to access the information.

Also remeber that 10-15% of the web users don't use JavaScript at all.

Making sure you page works without JS is imperative.

Yepp, it's all those annoying popupadds and other crap making people getting fead up with it compleatly shutting of JS in their browsers. :(

OTOH it just gives you as a webdeveloper the incentive to really make sure your pages work without JS, which will help those that can't use JS for various reasons.
