How to disable default scroll bar for textareas in IE8?

Question

I am going through some of my older sites where I have a contact form and in IE8 there always is a vertical scroll bar displayed for my textareas, even when there is no content.

Answer 1

I can't test on IE8 right now, but I can tell you that this works in IE6:

textarea {
  overflow-y: auto;
}
