This picture shows a Santa Claus looking through the window from outside.

Direct link is http://www.interweb.spb.ru/present/ex.asp?dedwind and it works.
No scrollbar though.

Same with latest Firefox and windows xp.
If opened with Javascript disabled then the vertical scroll bar appears. There's
lots of js at the end, apparently to create the starburst effects.

In the JavaScript code near the end:

if (NS6){
  window.document.body.style.overflow='hidden';


I think this works as expected (scrollbars should not appear).

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

That's correct.  The page is quite purposefully disabling the scrollbar...

Over to evang.

Missing horizontal and vertical scrollbars in MaxOS X 10.4.11 with Firefox 3.5.5 for Mac on PPC G5
Occurs in most sites including Gmail <mail.google.com>and Apple.com
I am writing this comment using Safari because I’m so frustrated.

This bug report is about a particular page that intentionally disables the scrollbar.  What you describe sounds like it should be a separate bug report (if it's not already filed).

INCOMPLETE due to lack of activity since the end of 2009.
