Preserved Topic: stop scrolling w/css

How do I stop a page from scrolling using css on it? I should know this but ah-ha! I don't.

adaline: I haven't tried this but I'd imagine it is something like:

body {

  overflow: hidden;

}

hey it worked, thanks emps! I know I can always count on ya.

Don't rely on it for anything important, it'll fail on older browsers.

Technically, it shouldn't work at *all*, since the "body" is not the viewing window, it's merely an element inside the viewing window...

Slime is right - I should have added that caveat. While it answers the question it possibly doesn't address the possible problem you are trying to address - most people would stick it in frames to turn off the scrolling. The fact that setting overflow on the body does work in more recent browsers (well when set to auto anyway - I think) is a nice bonus.

I take it back, it *sort* of makes sense that it works that way... I guess...
