Website won't scroll down - html

My website works on a 15 inch laptop, but whenever I resize the browser, some of the information on my website 'disappears', as I am unable to scroll (scrollbar won't appear).
I'm experiencing this problem for two of my websites (they're part of a school project).
On the first website, the sticky footer covers the content when the website is being viewed in a smaller browser window. I managed to get a scrollbar for the container part (everything except for the header and footer), but I need the scrollbar to appear on the very right side of the website, outside of the container. (only the footer will be fixed, the header will be scroll-able as well).

On the second website, I need the header and butterfly to stay fixed and for everything else to be scroll-able.

I'm wondering if there's an easy solution as I don't have much time left for these websites to finish..

Remove overflow: hidden in html
html {
height: 100%;
margin: auto;
width: 960px;
}
Remove position: absolute for .Wrapper
For second site:
You added your main content inside header with position: fixed; height: 50px;. It's the problem.

Yeah I just tried this out if you need something to overflow the sides you should use
html{
overflow-x: hidden;
}
instead of using just overflow.
|| For anyone who encounters this problem in the future. ||

You have these CSS properties to your HTML tag.
html{
height: 100%;
margin: auto;
width: 960px;
overflow: hidden;
}
Try changing overflow to overflow: scroll

You have these CSS properties to your HTML tag.
html{
height: 100%;
margin: auto;
width: 960px;
overflow: hidden;
}

My HTML webpage content is wider than screen on mobile device and some PCs

I have tried most of the suggestions I could find online, but I couldn't get anything to work.
My webpage content appears wider than screen size on mobile devices and some PCs
URL: https://www.ahhospitality.com
html, body,{
max-width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow: hidden;
height: 100%;
I have tried playing around with my CSS but still couldn't fix it.
Any help?
If you think that the website is actually displayed correctly but the user can scroll into a void to the left or right, try adding overflow-y: hidden; in CSS like this:
body {
overflow-z: hidden;
}
This may not be the perfect static solution but it works just fine. The overflow is then
probably caused by another element overflowing the edge of the body.

HTML,CSS - body exceeds screen horizontally for unknown reason

I am creating a website under experimental.danielhons.de and have a problem when looking at it with small devices, like mobile devices or reducing the width of a browser window.
At some point, the page gets horizontally scrollable and on the right there is a whitespace.
Using Firebug, I see that it is the body-tag exceeding the screen, but I have used this css:
html, body {
max-width: 100%;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow:hidden;
}
How can I prevent the page from being horizontally scrollable? Screeshot with overflow:auto
Add this css
body {
height: 100%;
overflow: auto;
}
html {
max-width: 100%;
}
I can clearly see that you have overflow: scroll; set on your body tag.
You can override only the x-axis specific rule by using overflow-x:hidden;.

CSS Fixing divs in place and hiding overflows

So, I've been stuck with this problem for a while now and I can't seem to find a solution.
I'm trying to make a layout consisting of (for now) 4 different content areas like so:
What I'm trying to do
I'm trying to do the following things:
Simple explanation: Content should be the only scrollable thing on the page, with the footer following right behind it if content fits on the page, fixed on the bottom otherwise.
Detailed explanation:
Fix banner and mainMenu so that they never move when page is scrolled.
Make the content scroll with a page so that:
If the content (and footer) fit on a page, no scroll is displayed.
If the scroll is needed, content goes behind the banner (not being shown) and does not appear again above it.
If the scroll is needed, content can scroll until the bottom line of it and the footer are in the visible area.
The footer should do two things:
If content and footer fit on the page, footer should stick at the bottom of the content
Otherwise, footer should be fixed on the bottom.
What I have tried
Fixing banner,mainMenu and the footer are fixed using position: fixed (and positioned accordingly). Parent div has overflow: hidden (which doesn't seem to work).
<div id='main'>
<div id='banner'>banner</div>
<div id='mainMenu'>mainMenu</div>
<div id='content'>.. some long content ..</div>
<div id='footer'>footer</div>
</div>
And
#main {
width: 960px;
height: auto;
margin: 40px auto;
overflow: hidden;
}
#main #banner {
width: 960px;
height: 100px;
position: fixed;
}
#main #mainMenu {
width: 230px;
height: auto;
display: inline;
float: left;
position: fixed;
top: 140px;
}
#main #content {
width: 720px;
height: auto;
display: inline;
float: right;
margin-top: 100px;
}
#main #footer {
width: 960px;
height: auto;
clear: both;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
}
The Problem
Footer does not follow content if it fits within the area
Content overflows on the top of banner
I would really prefer to do this just in CSS (if possible) and as compatible as possible (IE7+, all other major browsers).
It's really getting frustrating now.. Any help would be appreciated.
There is no conceivable way I can think of that would solve your problem by just using css. Once you have set your elements to a fixed position they are out of the flow and thus your other elements cannot conform around them.
However I did find a solution by doing two different things. For the header issue I simply added another fixed element above the main banner and set it to the color of the background. This way the content will scroll behind it and look as if it is hidden. For the footer, I set up some javascript using jQuery to see if the content overflows or not. If it does then the footer's position is set to fixed, otherwise the position is set to relative.
You can check it all out here in this demo: http://jsfiddle.net/mrQGh/4/
To test out the javascript simply delete the text until there is no more overflow and run it again.

how to enable scrolling rather than squashing divs together

on my website it is a div based layout when the window is reszied everything is pushed together. Such as images overlap or are moved below each other and divs also overlap each other.
How can I get it to scroll when the content of the div is greater than the window size, similar to facebook if you resize the window it prevents anything overlappting and just makes the user scroll?
body
{
background-color: #B0B0B0;
color: #ffffff;
margin-top: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#header
{
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#content
{
width: 80%;
height: 800px;
margin-top: 50px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding: 30px;
}
<div id="header">
[Header]
</div>
<div id="content">
[Content]
<img src="image1.png" /><img src="image2.png"/><img src="image3.png" />
</div>
The html is like that but obviously with more content
Hope I haven't made this too confusing, thanks.
Just add overflow:auto; to your div.
You can also use the following if you only want x or y scrolling
overflow-x:auto;
or
overflow-y:auto;
use the overflow:scroll; to enable scrolling in the DIVs
You must add white-space:nowrap; to your body tag.
I believe you may want overflow: auto;
Here's a comparison between auto and scroll.
add the style
overflow: scroll;
to #content
This answer is pretty late, however I stumbled across this question, as I was having issues on one of my pages, where I have this Page with 30 odd inputs of various types, that are split between two tables. I was unable to scroll to see about 10 or so inputs at the bottom of the page, and could not even scroll left to right when adjusting the browsers width.
What solved my issue was:
html, body {
overflow: visible;
}
This activated my X and Y scroll bar.
I had an issue with my footer not adjusting when scrolling, it instead would just stay fixed where it was situated before scrolling. this was due to my master CSS having the footer's position set as absolute. Simple fix, just creating a new style element in the page and added
footer {
position: fixed;
min-width: 100%;
}
I hope this helps anyone looking for a solution.
As stated by user3726345 , the best option to use is the
html,body {
overflow: visible;
}
using
overflow: auto;
dosnt give the best output. then you can further adjust your footer codes to your taste.

margin between content and div overflow scrollbar

I am using the following bits of code to keep my menu items fixed while allowing for the scrolling of content because it seems to be the most stable method across all browsers.
body { overflow: hidden; }
div.content { height: 100%; overflow: auto; }
My problem is simple, and yet I can not seem to figure it out, the content inside the tag butts up against the scrollbar for the div area and it makes reading much more difficult. How can I get a margin between them (apart from floating a transparent image to the right to create space, there HAS to be a better way)?
div.content { height: 100%; overflow: auto; margin:0 15px }
I might have misunderstood you though, post some HTML if I have.
