hello again. i must have recently made some changes to my website and i just noticed that in IE 6 i have this sorta phantom scroll bar at the top of the page. i'm wondering if its visibility has something to do with my method of centering my content, but i didnt notice this before. just wondered if anyone else see this? i also recently added a javascript that detects flash plugins and redirects the user to the appropriate flash/non flash page. wondering if this might be causing it. its only present in IE and not in firefox. any help would be most appreciated.
thanks,
j

The scrollbar appeared for me.

May have something to do with this:
body
{
font-size: 10px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #565656;
background: url('../images/tile.gif');
overflow: scroll;
}

You haven't defined a width or max-width - and normally, you can't do that in a <body> tag anyway because IE will always try to stretch your page to fit the screen. Get rid of the overflow tag and see if the scrollbar still appears.
