Exactly filling browser window

[Andy_R]

This is driving me mad, I can't get rid of the vertical scrollbar in my browser window, despite much searching of forums and finding several 'solutions' that don't work for me.

In my BODY tag I have
MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0" LEFTMARGIN="0" RIGHTMARGIN="0" TOPMARGIN="0" BOTTOMMARGIN="0" SCROLL="no"

In my OBJECT tag I have
WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%"

and in my EMBED tag I have
scale=exactfit WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%"

how many more times to I have to tell it it should fill the damn window exactly?

Aaargh!

Thanks for the welcome!

As far as I can tell (please correct me if I'm wrong!), that javascript will open a new window, what I want to do is fill the exisiting window, so I don't get blocked by pop-up disablers, and to avoid the screen flickering when the new window opens and the old one closes.

My site is resizing to the correct height, but I always get an unwanted scrollbar on the right that allows me to scroll a few pixels below the bottom of the swf.

also the JS removes the scrollbars

I've found the answer!

The answer is to use frames (http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=24153&highlight=frameset)

I missed that on my search because no-one on that thread used the word 'window' at any point :rolleyes:

Btw, it's amazing how many commercial sites have that unwanted scrollbar - it took me quite a while to find one that was doing what I wanted and have a poke about in the html to see what was going on, but once I knew it invovled a frameset it was easy to find.

frames are evilfor the sake of searching in browsers
