SCROLL Attribute | scroll Property

Sets or retrieves a value that indicates whether the scroll bars are turned on or off.

What's New for Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6

When you use the !DOCTYPE declaration to specify standards-compliant mode, this attribute applies to the HTML element.

Syntax

HTML <ELEMENT SCROLL = sScroll... >
Scripting object.scroll [ = sScroll ]

Possible Values

sScroll String that specifies or receives one of the following values:
yes Default. Scroll bars are turned on.
no Scroll bars are turned off.
auto Scroll bars are shown when the page content exceeds the client area.
The property is read/write. The property has a default value of yes.
Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see About Dynamic Properties.

Remarks

With Internet Explorer 6 and later, when you use the !DOCTYPE declaration to specify standards-compliant mode, this attribute applies to the HTML element. When standards-compliant mode is not specified, as with earlier versions of Internet Explorer, this attribute applies to the BODY element, not the HTML element.
