I'm new to web design and am using Dreamweaver. On one site I designed, the scroll bar appears just fine, but in another it disappears when I go to my browser. I can't figure out what the difference is. Is there an html code I can put on my page to enable the scroll bar?

It does? What browser are you using? I can't see it in Firefox, Safari, Navigator or Explorer.

the scrollbar disappears in your browser and not in dreamweaver probably because your browser viewing window is larger than dreamweaver's and can fit all the content on the screen so a scrollbar is not needed. you could add overflow: scroll to your css to force a scrollbar to show, however, then a horizontal scrollbar would show as well. to me, your site is fine the way it is. if you add more content that overflows the viewing window, then a scrollbar will appear to account for the extra content.

The scrollbar disappears in my Dreamweaveer page also. This is driving me crazy. I've been through the tutorials, etc., and nothing answers this question. Even when duplicating an existing index file the scrollbar disappears when I add a new graphic. YIKES! HELP! By the way, thanks for taking the time to reply!

To make a scrollbar appear in one or the other direction, you can use:
Code:
{
overflow-y: scroll; /*vertical*/
}
/*or*/
{
overflow-x: scroll; /*horizontal*/
}
