I'm using templates in a redesign of my website.

all the content floats in a centered layer.

It all looks good except that some pages arent' that long and don't require a scrollbar and some do so the whole thing jumps left or right  when you change from one to another.

Is there a fix for this?  Is there a way I could force the scrollbar even if it's not needed?

Yes there is a fix, but i can't remember exactly what it is, so I searched for it

The same problem's been irritating me.  I like my page to look like the header and menu aren't changing, only the main content appears to change.

I like their final solution, it seems to do the trick nicely:

html { height:100%; margin-bottom:1px; }

just tried it, looks great!  thanks.
