[webkit-dev] disable scroll bars in webView....

Fri Aug 31 11:34:41 PDT 2007

If you're going to build your own custom version of WebKit, you could modify
WebCore/css/html4.css and WebCore/css/quirks.css to include the "overflow:
hidden;" style on the body tag.  This would have essentially the same effect.

I'm not aware of any "switch" to disable scroll bars completely (although that
doesn't mean there isn't one).
