Re: [Dynapi-Help] Big Layers & Netscape Scollbars

[Scott A. L. <sc...@sc...>]

I think Jack's correct.  An empty DynLayer in NS has no "document
height" or width until you actually add content to it.

As an aside, what I think is interesting is I am always trying to do the
opposite: turn the scrollbars *off* in IE.  When I have an IE layer with
content that exceeds it's clip area, I get browser scrollbars when the
hidden content extends off the visible page.  I hate that!
