Either or, same problem. If the resolution is set differently than the way I like it to be viewed, contents all over the place.
Resizing the window moves the content (loaded pages) and scroll bar all over out of design.
I'm working to get my site live. Right now I have set up with a link to open a new window containing the script of a specified width/height. http://www.flipflopmedia.com/index2.html
However, I have found that Firefox on the PC, still allows you to resize the darn window; defeating the whole purpose.
ANYWAY, I would rather do away entirely with the whole controlled (or trying to control) window.
I have tried to contain the whole thing with a div, but then I get all off positioned; it just was not working out for me.
There must be a way to fix this simply ??
Thanks Angus!

Don't design for a fixed resolution size! In fact these days it's probably better not to use this script at all, use HTMLHttpRequest if you want to load portions of dynamic content, in conjunction with native browser scrollbars.
Otherwise probably stick with the example of this demo script, where the scroller size is proportional to the window size. Just tweak the numbers so it fits where you want.
Well, I was actually trying to NOT design based on resolution, that was the whole point of my needing help with the width of this thing. I thought I had tried every possible way of correcting this problem, but I guess not. Having you tell me to just tweak the numbers, told me that apparently I had been tweaking the wrong ones... lol. I got it all straight now, and it looks well on my end at any resolution!! Yippee-Yay!
I know you don't really suggest ppl use this script, and take much preference referring HTMLHttpRequest, but I really like the custom scroll bars. So unless I run into future problems with DHTML Scroller, I'll just stick with it. I like it!
I had sent you a donation back in 2004, but I think it was the use of one of your menus; so expect another donation soon for this script.
Thanks for all your work, scripts and support! Tracy
