Disable Horizontal Scrollbar

Hehe! I know all my posts latley have been about webbie stuff, but this is off topic, and there are many wonderful web designers around this forums *gazes at the amazing baner AbeBabe made for the forums* so...

I was wondering if anyone knew how to disable the sidebar.

I'm pretty sure the only choice you have, if you're talking about building a webpage, is to not make the page bigger than the area of browser window.

You can only achieve this using CSS. Put this code into the head section of your HTML pages:

:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
html {
overflow-x: hidden;
}
-->
</style>

I only found that CSS attribute a week or so ago. It helped lots in cutting out some ugly overflowing stuff that my frames would put in.

No doubt you're using it in frames too?

Here I'll show you what I would like to be done

Go to:

http://members.ffextreme.com/oddworld_online

Then click on the really big image...

Notice the little sidebar that says me, www and you.

Click on www

Go to guestbook (tag) <- it's not a tag board any more

Then see how the page gets all stuffed up? I really would like a guestbook that fits my page. You wouldn't know how to make them would you?!

Apparently it can be done with PHP. I tried doing it yesterday but I couldn't even get the programs installed... I'm stuck So I found a guestbook with no ads, but its too big.

Help me??? Or know anyone who can?

The guestbook you are using, uses out side Javascript files to display the content...

You could always surround it with a table, and maybe limit the size of blockquote tags by:

:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
blockquote {
width: 80px;
}
-->
</style>

Thanks Alcar... but where do I put the code? Inside the javascript coding or in the header?

EDIT: I tried it out, but still no luck... Any suggestions as to what I should do?

I don't think you'd have access to the Javascript, so just in the page where you originally put the stuff.
