Hey all,
I am fairly new to CSS/HTML, and completely self-taught, so please bear with me if this is a blatantly obvious question.
I have some decorative divs that have images and such dressing the outside of my content. I want them to be fully visible, but I don't want the browser window to scroll to see them. I assume this would be accomplished via the overflow property in CSS, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. I thought if I assigned a height and width to the body tag, and then set overflow to visible, it would prevent the window from scrolling - not so. Any suggestions?
I did attempt a google search, but everything comes up talking about making an individual div scrollable - not what I am trying to do. I just can't find that magic set of keywords to describe what I am looking for.
Thanks,
Dave
