Hiding the Vertical Scrollbar in IE
Also related to my little signage project in the last post, one problem I encountered was the IE would insist on displaying a vertical scrollbar even though it wasn't required - and since I knew the exact pixel dimensions of the display I knew I didn't need one. It turns out there are many solutions to this on the internet, it's a common complaint when IE is rendering in standards compliant mode, and the solution is easy enough, just put:
html {
overflow: auto;
}
in your CSS file.

This way is obvious and is actually bad. If you have a style "width: 100%" on some block-level element inside your body it will grow off-screen (thus causing the horizontal scrollbar to appear!) when the vertical scrollbar appear (in the case of content growing vertically too much).
