Is it possible to keep the red container scrollable on vertical axis, and at the same time make the purple (.second-absolute) element overflow this red container horizontally? I'm totally out of ideas, I thought that overflow-x & overflow-y should do the trick, but no dice.
Thank you very much for any help.

No.
I tried Ethan's suggestion and couldn't get the purple box to visibly overflow the scrollbar:
.container {
max-height: 500px;
background: grey;
}
.sidebar {
height: 100vh;
width: 150px;
overflow-y: scroll;
background: red;
}
.element {
position: relative;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
flex-wrap: nowrap;
margin: 5px;
height: 200px;
width: 20px;
background: green;
}
.first {
position: relative;
display: block;
height: 20px;
width: 100px;
background: pink;
}
.second {
display: inline-block;
}
.second-absolute {
position: absolute;
height: 20px;
width: 250px;
background: purple;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="sidebar">
<div class="element">
<div class="first"></div>
<div class="second">
<div class="second-absolute"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="element">
</div>
<div class="element">
</div>
<div class="element">
</div>
</div>
</div>
I don't think the browser will let you overflow the scrollbar, I even put z-index, explicitly said to visibly overflow, played around with the position property etc.
Consider this example of letting the content dictate the size:
.container {
max-height: 500px;
background: grey;
}
.sidebar {
height: 100vh;
width: max-content;
overflow-y: auto;
background: red;
}
.element {
position: relative;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
flex-wrap: nowrap;
margin: 5px;
height: 200px;
background: green;
}
.first {
display: block;
height: 20px;
background: pink;
}
.second {
display: inline-block;
}
.second-absolute {
height: 20px;
width: 250px;
background: purple;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="sidebar">
<div class="element">
<div class="first"></div>
<div class="second">
<div class="second-absolute"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="element">
</div>
<div class="element">
</div>
<div class="element">
</div>
</div>
</div>
You made the parent div sidebar have overflow-x: scroll;, overflow-y: auto;. Instead, make each child have its own overflow properties instead of the parent.

This is sort of a two in problem.
I have a body with height: 100vh similar to how my example is in the jsFiddle (except in there I put 20vh.
I have a similar structure as this, where the innerRight container can be quite large compared to the rest of the content, and only that conatiner is to obtain it's own scroll bar. I sort of got this working in my main project, but the outer container (similar to how I displayed outer in the example) still expands past the the parents height container main. Be it 100vh, or 20vh it doesn't matter it doesn't stay within with display:flex.
.main {
height: 20vh;
}
.outer {
display: flex;
overflow: hidden;
}
.innerLeft {
height: 200px;
width: 50px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
flex-grow: 1;
background-color: green;
}
.innerRight {
overflow: auto;
height: 500px;
background-color: red;
width: 100%;
}
<div class="main">
<div class="header">
some random text
</div>
<div class="outer">
<div class="innerLeft">
</div>
<div class="innerRight">
</div>
</div>
</div>
Can you please check the below code? Hope it will work for you.
You have to set height:100vh; in .main and set width:calc(100% - 50px); to .innerRight.
Remove height from innerleft and innerright element.
Please refer to this link: https://jsfiddle.net/yudizsolutions/9Lsyzg64/1/
body {
margin: 0;
}
.main {
height: 100vh;

.outer {

}
.innerLeft {
width: 50px;
background-color: green;

.innerRight {
overflow: auto;
background-color: red;
width: calc(100% - 50px);

You need to set height to outer class.
.main {
height: 20vh;
}
.outer {
display: flex;
height: 200px;
overflow:hidden;
}
.innerLeft {
width: 50px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
flex-grow: 1;
background-color: green;
}
.innerRight {
overflow: auto;
height: 500px;
background-color: red;
width:100%;
}
<div class="main">

I am struggling to make my .centerIt divs be centered vertically, and to have the .div1 stay scrollable after I add more .centerIt divs into the column.
The .centerIt divs have to keep their height: 20px and not squeeze after I add more of them.
JSFiddle example
.container {
display: flex;
background: red;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
}
.div1 {
background: yellow;
height: 90%;
width: 27%;
margin: 5px;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
.div2 {
background: blue;
height: 90%;
width: 74%;
margin: 5px;
}
.centerIt {
background: green;
width: 100%;
border: solid 1px black;
height: 20px;
color: green;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="div1">
<div class="centerIt"></div>
<div class="centerIt"></div>
<div class="centerIt"></div>
<div class="centerIt"></div>
<div class="centerIt"></div>
<div class="centerIt"></div>
<div class="centerIt"></div>
<div class="centerIt"></div>
</div>
<div class="div2"></div>
</div>
Just try to add min-height: 20px to .centerIt instead of height and
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
to .div1 styles, should do it.

Is it possible to make a div with a height of 100%, and have the inner item that overflows scroll.
It sounds like a simple problem (and it might be), but I have been thinking about it for days. Some things that don't work in my specific case are:
height: calc(100% - xx px), because the header is of a variable height.
Putting all high children as direct children in the wrapper component (I use a component that has some layers
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="header">
A header
</div>
<div class="container">
A container
<div class="with-many">
Don't scroll
<div class="divs">
Scroll
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
.wrapper {
width: 80vw;
height: 80vh;
background-color: lightgrey;
* {
width: 100%;
}
.header {
height: 30px;
background-color: orange;
}
.container {
height: 100%;
background-color: lightgreen;
.with-many {
height: 100%;
overflow-y: auto;
background-color: green;
.divs {
height: 400vh;
background-color: blue;
}
}
}
}
https://jsfiddle.net/zdb8pmuL/1/
Do you mean like this?:
.wrapper {
width: 80vw;
height: 80vh;
background-color: lightgrey;
}
.wrapper * {
width: 100%;
}
.header {
height: 30px;
background-color: orange;
}
.container {
height: 100%;
background-color: lightgreen;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.with {
height: 100%;
background-color: green;
}
.another-wrapper {
overflow-y: scroll;
height: 100%;
}
.divs {
height: 400vh;
background-color: blue;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="header">
A header
</div>
<div class="container">

I want to make two div inside other div. But the second(green) div is passing the size of the main(black). I tried to set the height to 100%, but something happens that is going beyond the size of the main box, does anyone have any solutions?
.block {
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
background: black;
}
.box1 {
width: 200px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
vertical-align: top;
margin: auto;
}
.box2 {
width: 200px;
height: 100%;
background: green;
margin: auto
}
<div class="block">
<div class="box1">
</div>
<div class="box2">
</div>
</div>
If you set child's height to 100% then the height of the parent will be inherited. If you are looking for an option where the 2nd box (green) fill the remaining space leftover by 1st box(red)
.block {
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
background: black;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
}
.box1 {
width: 200px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
vertical-align: top;
}
.box2 {
flex: 1;
width: 200px;
background: green;
}
<div class="block">
<div class="box1">
</div>
<div class="box2">
</div>
</div>
I am using Flex and there is no need to use overflow: hidden
You should add the overflow: hidden; to the main black box, just like the below snippet. This will make the overflow clipped.
.block {
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
background: black;
overflow: hidden;
}
.box1 {
width: 200px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
margin: auto;
}
.box2 {
width: 200px;
height: 100%;
background: green;
margin: auto;
}
<div class="block">
<div class="box1">
</div>
<div class="box2">
</div>
</div>
But if you don't want to get rid of the remaining piece of the second box, you can do it with flexbox also. This will not trim the green box but instead, it will resize it to make sure the green box will remain in the parent black box.
.block {
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
background: black;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
flex-direction: column;
}
.box1 {
width: 200px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
}
.box2 {
width: 200px;
height: 100%;
background: green;
}
<div class="block">
<div class="box1">
</div>
<div class="box2">
</div>
</div>
NOTE: In the flexbox version, you also won't need to use margin: auto; in the child boxes, because in the flexbox column direction align-items: center; will take care of child positions with the available attributes it gave to us.
I am trying to make a nested 100% screen layout but I am running into a problem where the nested container does not fill 100% of the space of the parent cell in safari, even tho the cell itself does expand to fill all the available space. If I make the subContainer the actual flex cell as well it works, but I can´t do that for practical reasons. Any ideas?
jsfiddle
HTML:
<div id="masterContainer">
<div id="header">
header
</div>
<div id="content">
<div id="subContainer">
<div id="left">
left
</div>
<div id="right">
right
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#masterContainer {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
#header {
background: yellow;
}
#content {
background: grey;
flex: 1;
}
#subContainer {
display: flex;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#left {
background: red;
width: 50;
}
#right {
background: green;
flex: 1;
}
This is a workaround for this problem in Safari.
Since Safari seems to avoid calculation for non-flex nested containers.
Take a look to this answer
#masterContainer {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
width: 200px;
