It seems like there are two concepts here: paging and the lack of scroll bars. Paging is provided for through "LINK." REL=Next The link references the next document to visit in a guided tour. REL=Previous The link references the previous document in a guided tour. A lack of scroll bars is just a browser-developer issue. If a document cannot be scrolled, the browser could dump the (useless) scroll bars to save screen real-estate. Have I misunderstood your suggestion? Paul Prescod
