After spending a good half hour tearing my hair out trying to figure out why my webpage was shifting by a few pixels when navigating between pages, I finally discovered the culprit - the appearance of the right scroll bar on longer pages was causing the shift.
To solve this issue, I decided to add the following CSS:
body{
overflow: scroll;
}
This simple fix ensures that every page displays a scroll bar, preventing any unwanted jostling of elements as users navigate through the site.
I wonder, is there a more efficient way to achieve the same result without having an unnecessary scroll bar constantly visible on shorter pages? Perhaps adjusting the positioning of shorter content pages slightly could work, but then it would involve tracking the length of each page and switching CSS styles accordingly, which seems inconvenient.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)
