Hey everyone,

On my website, http://www.ivancash.com, the position of the page shifts horizontal position slightly depending on which link I click. (Go through all the links up top: about, resume, portfolio, writing, links, contact) You'll see the content section of the website changes horizontal positions sometimes.

Any idea as to why that is?

Thanks,

Ivan

This is because of the scrollbar that appears and disappears when the page lengths differ. If you don't look at the scrollbar, then you might think that the page is shifting slightly

If you want to "fix" it, you can add this to your CSS:

Code:
html { overflow-y: scroll }
That'll force the vertical scrollbar to appear all the time.
