Having some trouble with a website. For some reason, there is a horizontal scroll-bar appearing allowing you to scroll a lot towards the right in IE8 even though there is no content there. I may have messed up with width's or margins or something, but it doesn't make sense because when I load the code outside of SharePoint it works fine, even in IE8. In SharePoint, inside a content editor web part, the code makes the horizontal scroll bar (although it doesn't appear in Chrome even with SharePoint).
The following code will hide the scrollbar for me, but you can still scroll to the right. The code just makes the scrollbar invisible.
html {
overflow-x: hidden;
}
Any other solutions would be very much appreciated.
In SharePoint 2010 the main content of the page resides inside s4-workspace Div and the ribbon is kept fixed at the top. So may be you can try to give the overflow attribute to s4-workspace div.

I'm coding a website and getting a strange behavior on the vertical scrollbar. This is happening on Chrome, Safari, and Firefox.
On IOS, it apparently is causing issues with page scrolling (i.e., it is difficult to get the page to scroll past the bottom of the initial view)
The puzzling part is that the undesirable effect only occurs when the viewport is sized below 683px wide
683px wide and above, the vertical scroll bar behaves normally (see attached graphic)
Website url is http://157.245.80.107
Any suggestions or insight? Thanks!
The theme is badly coded.
Whoever made it didn't bother to read the intro on do's and dont's for Bootstrap v3.4.1.
The quickfix would be to remove
overflow-x: hidden;
from line 9 of _main.scss (on html, body) and apply it to .main-container instead.
Another problem (same cause, basically) is the presence of class row on #navigation2 .navigation-header .mobile-main-nav. Either remove it if you can edit that template, or apply this CSS to counter the negative margins:
#navigation2 .navigation-header {
padding: 0 15px;
}
The menu of the following website https://www.thedegreetracker.com/ has the following issue. The menu seems to be wider than the rest of the page. This is causing a horizontal scroll bar appear at the bottom of my browser's window. When one scrolls over (or maximizes the browser page on a very wide computer screen), it causes other parts of the page, such as the banner and the footer, to disappear when you scroll over.
By way of contrast, the following page does not have the same problem: https://www.thedegreetracker.com/about_us. This second page is how I want the first one to work in terms of the banner and footer resizing correctly, and no horizontal scroll.
As far as I can tell, the HTML and CSS code between the two pages is nearly identical. The differences I have found don't seem to make a difference. I have spent hours trying to figure out what is causing this issue and I am now asking for fresh eyes. I'm using Bootstrap 3 and Laravel, for what it's worth.
I'm hoping this is an easy fix that I'm just missing. You'll probably have more luck using Chrome Dev Tools on the actual web pages to figure this one out, but below is the HTML for both pages. As far as I can tell, the CSS is exactly the same for both pages.
Here's the code from the broken page with the wide menu and horizontal scrolling

The problem is the within the form, not the menu. You have wrongly used the container class (reserved by Bootstrap for setting width of page) inside your form.
Also, your form has a class of .container but you're overwriting the max-width property. This will likely cause responsiveness problems. Try not to touch width, max-width and min-width on classes that a framework uses for setting the width of content and layout, in general. If you must, use an inner-container.
Getting back to your problem, you should have probably used no class at all for your containers inside the form. As a rule of thumb, try to use class names that do not collide with the class names of your framework.
To fix your issue, either remove container from inside your form or, as a general patch for this type of error, add this CSS:
.container .container {
width: initial;
}
Whenever I have content that expands the page height, a scrollbar appears on my rendered website. However, the scrollbar pushes my content to the left by the width of the scroll bar so when I navigate to a page where the height is less then the page height, there's a noticeable jump as the page width resizes. Is it possible to have the scrollbar sit on top of all my html content? Similar to how scrolling works in Chrome on iOS.
Ideally a css property like overflow:absolute where the scrollbar appears and the content isn't clipped would be the best but I know that doesn't exist.
EDIT:
In the image below, you can see that the scrollbar has a white background and has pushed my html content to the left. What I want is the html content to be underneath the scrollbar, as if the scrollbar had absolute positioning to the right.
I conferred with one of my colleagues who's running the same version of chrome as I am and his scrollbar does exactly what I want. Maybe AB testing on Google's part?
There is no reliable cross-browser way to do what you're looking for.
Different browsers handle the scrollbar differently -- some (including Safari and some versions of Chrome) already do exactly what you want, most others enforce a particular background-color and width for the scrollbar (not always the same width) and push the content over to make room. Any negative-margin or width-greater-than-100% trickery will either not work at all or will put some of your content underneath a non-transparent scrollbar in many browsers (and offscreen in others).
If the 'jump' when the scrollbar appears is too distracting, you can force the scrollbar to always be present with overflow-y:scroll.
Native scrollbar styling is limited, but here is a demo of how to do it:
body::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
background-color: darkgrey;
outline: 1px solid slategrey;
}

Chrome and IE respond to it very well. Firefox not so much, the issue is logged here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77790 and is stale.
If you want firefox, you'll have to go with a custom scrollbar replacer.
And how to compensate for scrollbar is explained here: How to compensate for Vertical Scrollbar when it is not yet present
It works well, but most code pens can't show it, so you'll have to experiment on your own.
This is the OSX disappearing scrollbar issue (not sure if it's relevant for modern versions of OSX): CSS - Overflow: Scroll; - Always show vertical scroll bar?
As it would turn out, all I had to do was update my version of OSX...baffling. I'll accept #DanielBeck's answer because it's a reasonable answer to a coding question whereas here, the solution was to arbitrary update my laptop software.
I have been struggling for several hours about this problem, although it seems ridiculous I cant fix it somehow.
So this is the webpage draft, http://www.mysecretathens.gr/Sera/test.html
If you click on the Bio link, you will notice that the topbar menu on the Biography.html is moving slightly to the right.
How can we fix that? Any ideas?
p.s I have noticed that If I have the same picture in biography.html as in test.html there is no problem, the topbar remains in the saim position.
html{
overflow-y: scroll;
}
This forces a scrollbar on the right hand side
That's because your first page has a scroll bar and the bio page doesn't. You can force a scrollbar to always show up which can be annoying but consistent, or use absolute positioning to have the content always appear in a specific location, albeit probably not centered.
The content on the first page is going below your screen, meaning you will have to scroll. This isn't the same for the bio page, hence the inconsistencies, either add more content, set overflow-y to scroll or just ignore it (as users will)
I have a fixed-width content area using margin:0 auto to keep it centered and a repeating background that fills the whole page. Nothing should cause the browser to use a horizontal scrollbar, unless the browser is less than browser is less than the fixed-width content. In IE however, a horizontal scrollbar is present and allows me to scroll slightly to the right which displays a 'gap' that appears to be the width of the vertical scrollbar. Curious as to why this is happening.
I have searched far and wide and found people with similar problems, but most discussion is regarding tables or other specific elements causing the problem that are not present on my page.
See link for example, open in IE8 and scroll right. Any help is appreciated.

Why don't you set the div css propety as overflow-x:hidden
