We can affect the scroll bar of an HTML element through the overflow CSS

We can affect the scroll bar of an HTML element through the overflow CSS property.

Is it possible to affect the scroll bar of the browser window?

Motivation – I am resizing HTML elements in code when the window is resized. During the resize two scroll bars are visible – the one of the window and the one of the particular HTML element. When the resizing ends only one scroll bar remains – that of the element, so everything is fine. But during the resize it looks ugly.

    Yes, it’s possible — just use body { overflow: hidden; }. You can test it out easily on this page from Firebug by running $("body").css("overflow", "hidden");.
