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

Scriptingobject.scroll [ = sScroll ]

Possible Values

sScrollString that specifies or receives one of the following values:
yesDefault. Scroll bars are turned on.
noScroll bars are turned off.
autoScroll 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

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.
