[HOW] HTML/CSS: Prevent Scrollbar Jump
Firefox and Chrome doesn't show a scrollbar on the right if the content of a page isn't longer than the window. But when the content becomes longer, the vertical scrollbar appears and causes the layout to shift. This "jump" can be quite annoying as the whole layout moves to the left. To fix this:
html {
overflow-y:scroll;
}
[How-to-Fix] Working with InDesign to export ePub
I started working on an eBook with InDesign a few weeks back. InDesign has an option to export your document to an ePub file which can be used for eBook readers. If you don't have a reader to test it on, you can download the Adobe Digital Editions on your computer for free! Or even better... Use Calibre to manage your ebooks or test your epubs on virtual devices!
Anyway, exporting to ePub is quite easy, but you need to pay attention to how you format your documents. For example, page layouts are different, page breaks and returns aren't included, fonts paragraph/character styles, etc. I found a very nice guide from CreativePro, which explains these problems and gives you solutions on how to fix it :D

The most annoying thing however, is that InDesign (CS5.5) doesn't export your table styles. The guide suggests manually editing the CSS file after exporting, which is a pain in the ass. To do this, export your document to ePub. Rename your file from .epub to .zip. Open the file and locate the CSS file.
It's a drag... but it's the only solution that I could find on the web until Adobe fixes this in the new CS version.
