I was pulling my hair out for about 30 minutes trying to figure out why my webpage was shifting a few pixels when I was navigating between pages. I finally realized that it was because the right scroll bar, on the longer pages, was popping up and shifting stuff over.
I found a solution that goes as follows.
body{
overflow: scroll;
}
This forces every page to have a scroll bar, so the appearance/disappearance of the scroll bar does not jostle the elements of the page back and forth a few pixels as you navigate through the site.
Is there a better way to accomplish what I want without rendering a useless scroll bar on the right side? I imagine you could offset the pages that don't have very long content a few pixels to compensate, but then it seems like you'd have to keep track of which pages are a certain length, and switch around their CSS depending on how much content they have which would be awfully annoying.
Thanks for any advice :)
