My page works so far, but everytime we open a link with lots of text the scroll bar comes and short of shrink my design about 4 px, everything is fine just that I would like to have it always on .

So how would I do that. All searching on scrollbar and css return how to color the scroll bar.. I just want it to always be there.

the page:

Click on the second link on the left and you see what "shrinking" I am talking about.

Thanks.

Cannot be done I'm sorry. The browser will always take it away if not needed. I wouldn't worry about it to be honest, a lot of website have a slight "shift" when a scrollbar becomes visible, it is quite normal.

Alternatively, you could place a long list of line breaks after you content, but this would look rather amateur IMO.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but is this still the case? My current site bounces to the left when a scroll bar decides to appear, and it's driving me crazy. Perhaps css can fix this?

You can specify something like:

body { overflow: scroll }

It's not graceful, but I think it will work. Frankly, I would forget about it completely, for the reasons stated earlier.
