Fixed width site jumps when page requires a scrollbar

HTML & CSS
1

Hi All

Is there a way to stop this.

Example

When you go to the “About Us” page the scrollbar kicks in and it jumps.

I tried overflow:scroll right; and it works but does not validate. If I don’t add right IE7 adds a scrollbar beneath the footer.

Hi,
You can keep scrollbar position present at all times by setting overflow-y:scroll; on the html element. It does not validate because it is a CSS3 property. It was an IE property originally but it was adopted into CSS3.

html {overflow-y:scroll;} /*keep scrollbar position present at all times*/
