I'm a long time Frontpage user trying to give Dreamweaver a go (mainly because of the php features).

Problem is: even if I create a page with nothing on it, it has a vertical scrollbar on the right.

Not much luck searching this forum, but found a couple solutions elsewhere.
1) scroll="auto" (in the body tag)
2) overflow-y: hidden (as a body style)

The 1st solution leaves a ghost of where the scrollbar would be, but it is an automatic solution which allows for a page to have a scrollbar if needed.

The 2nd solution solves the ghost problem and the table in the example spans the full width of the page.

Examples of the problem.

What I need is:
An automatic solution that will put a scrollbar on the page when needed and doesn't show the ghost.

Help please from the Dreamweaver gurus!
