We quite often want to force a browser vertical scrollbar on a page when we have pages that are shorter than the height of the screen.
Why? because we don’t want page elements ‘jumping’ horizontally when a visitor transitions from a page without a vertical scroll to one that has (or vice-versa).
We always used to use CSS:
html {min-height:100%; margin-bottom:1px}
to force the vertical scroll, but with latest versions of Firefox and IE this has stopped working. So now we are using:
html {min-height:100.2%;}
Not particularly elegant, but it works. When CSS3 becomes gets widespread, we’ll probably change to
html {overflow-y: scroll;}
