Scroll bar behaviour

[Ian Baker]

We have a weird scroll bar behaviour with our web site at
http://jackaroo.net.au that was developed and published with FP 2003.
Although I feel it has nothing to do with FP I am unsure on where to post
this (so my apologies).
When the site is opened locally on a 800x600 resolution there are no scroll
bars on the index page.
When the site is opened (at 800x600) from the web there are horizontal &
verticle scroll bars but if you go into the site and go back to the index
page from the site menu on one of the pages the scroll bars are gone -
weird.

This has us baffled so any advice is greatly appreciated

If you are on a slower dialup connection, you can see what happens.

The ALT text is slightly wider than the graphics at the bottom of the page.
As such, this creates a scroll bar as the ALT text is slightly off the
screen.

This only occurs the 1st time as it's waiting for the graphics to load.

Once the graphics are loaded the images are present instead of the ALT text
and the graphics fits the page.

Try a SHIFT-F5 and see if you can see what I can see.

Try trimming down the ALT text and see if that works.

See!

Peter.

Thanks but I have just tried removing all the "alt's" from the index page
but that didn't work

Oh, OK I can see the problem now.
The last image (which is only a line and set to 100%).
Before the image (m09.gif I think) has actually loaded it will appear as the
little box with the red square, green circle and blue triangle, indicating
that there is an image which has not yet loaded.
The width of that little box is causing your page to be too wide for the
screen.

This doesn't happen on subsequent loads as the image is there and so you
don't get the 'image placeholder'.

I think you'll need to work around the last image on that line and see if
you can do something different to get the black line to extend all the way
across the screen (which is what I presume that image is there for).
