Is there Firefox equivalent to <body scroll="no" ...

I really need to prevent a screen I'm working on from scrolling.

@Muarck,

I thought FF was completely compliant with the HTML standard. If you can find it in the standard, it should work in FF. In not sure if this is the most current standard http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/

@engineer,

I tried this code and it worked

Code:

<html>

<body>

 <STYLE type="text/css">

  BODY { overflow: hidden;}

 </STYLE>

...

</body>

</html>

@engineer,

Rats!
Still having trouble.
I can get the scroll bars to disappear, but even with your new line of code I can still scroll the screen using the arrow keys up and down. Problem is I'm making a web-based video game and the arrow keys are for moving the character having them move the screen at the same time is really annoying!

@Muarck,

I think you need a javascript event handler so that if the arrow keys are pressed, the action you want initiates instead of the default action. I saw several examples on the net, but I can't vouch for any of them.

@engineer,

And he can also use javascript to capture the viewport and size the page accordingly so that there is no scroll.

Another way to do it is to skip liquid dimensions altogether and go with a static size. Many games use a popup window at a specific size for this reason.

I am using:

Code:onKeyDown="keyIn(event);" onKeyUp="keyOut(event);"

To control the motions of the character and that works great for controlling the character. The problem is the screen also scrolls.

You think there's a way to prevent the browser window from receiving these events as well?

@Robert Gentel,

I can't fit the screen to the size of the game area because I want the game to play in fullscreen and if a graphic is half on and half off the screen then I'm screwed. Although in the right game that would have been a great idea.

@Muarck,

You may want to try using the scrollBy method to control the scrolling. See here:

Rats! Another good idea, but unfortunately, this only works if the scrolls bars are visible. And I really don't want scrolls in my game window.

@Muarck,

Try the code at the bottom of this thread. I tried it and it works for FF, but not for IE.

@engineer,

This was perfect for me because I already have it not scrolling in IE and now that FireFox works I've got it working on both!

Thank you so much!
