putting a scroll bar on a web page - html

I have a web page that is longer than the standard screen. When I open it in the browser there is no vertical side scroll bar that allows the user to move down the page. I tried using the line overflow:scroll; but it seems it is ignored. I have a header and a line of buttons, then the content is in three sections. I have the overflow:scroll within the first BODY line like this: body overflow:scroll class="plugin webkit chrome win Locale_en_US"
How do I force the scroll bar to appear and where should it be properly placed?
Sorry, it's been years since I've done html or any kind of coding so bear with me.

The overflow is a css attribute, meaning that it should be in a style tag, or even better, in an external css file ( http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/styles.html )
In your case it would be:
<body style="overflow: scroll" class="plugin webkit chrome win Locale_en_US">

Use css style='overflow: auto;'. If not works, find any element, that is overflow: hidden; and apply overflow: auto to it. Or add JSFiddle

i'm using this in my project, i created a css like this
div.scrolled {
width: 1150px;
height: 620px;
overflow: scroll;
}
and in my html file i only identify what area i want to introduce into my div and i do this
<body>
<div class="scrolled">
here goes wath you want
</div>
</body>
and you will have your scroll in 'y' align, hope i helped you

Div Card Elements Won't Scroll

I am new to HTML and CSS and am creating a website for a basic university course. For a project, I have created 8 div cards highlighting the planets of the Solar System but cannot get the cards out of this fixed/unscrollable position.
This is the link to the current page state:
https://hollandtheperson.com/dight/250/website/planets.html
Any tips on how to fix this?
You have added overflow: hidden; for the CSS in the body tag, which hides the scrollbar essentially making the scroll feature unusable, if you remove it then it should work.
You can set the overflow-x instead of overflow to hidden, like so:
...
overflow-x: hidden;
...
This disables horizontal scroll but allows vertical scroll
The problem isn't really with it being fixed in place, but i can see why you got that impression.
You're using overflow: hidden; which means "if something doesn't fit, snip it off".
So, because the overflow has cut away everything wasn't already within the viewport - there is now nothing outside the viewport, and hence, no reason to allow scrolling.
Fixed the .card height and add overflow-x: hidden which give you scrolling card. Sample code given below:
.card{
// add additional code
height: 350px;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
Hi can see that you have added items in css of body tags which i guess you should remove in order make it scrollable feature those are
height: 100vh;
overflow: hidden;
Please check if that works hopefully it should be.

Is it possible to control the scrolling of a page?

I have an HTML page with an iframe like this:
<body>
<h1>Page</h1>
<iframe src="./randompage.html" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</body>
However, the page itself scrolls and the iframe also scrolls. Is there a way to stop the page scrolling and have only the iframe which scrolls?
(Note that this is for a phonegap app)
Extra Information
It seems that body { overflow: hidden; } doesn't work on phonegap (see here: Phonegap and Android overflow issue).
I would try to make sure the content fits inside the viewport.
If that's not an option, trim the body by hiding the overflow.
body {
overflow: hidden;
}
Use overflow-y: hidden to stop your page from (vertical) scrolling. You could add this to your body like this
body{
overflow-y:hidden;
}
Look at this fiddle
If you want to disable both vertical and horizontal scrolling, you can use overflow: hidden;.
As overflow:hidden does not work in your case, you could, depending on your exact use case, make the iframe position:absolute and define it's position via left and top. This would mean the parenting page does not overflow beyond the viewport.

position fixed and webkit overflow touch issue ios 7

I'm having a responsive website which has the menubar as a sidebar (like FB app) which is fixed via position: fixed; to the right corner. This works fine so far except for iOS7 in combination with -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;. The fixed element does not stay at its position, moreover it jumps to the fixed position after the scroll is finished.
Does anyone of you have an advice?
Thanks
I've been struggling with exactly same issue for the whole day, the conclusion is, yes, there is a bug when you position an element as 'fixed' within a container with '-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch' in Apple screen devices. And I couldn't find any work around. '-webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0)' nor '-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden' make any difference.
So finally i got it working by reassembling my html structure, so the fixed element is not within the scrollable container, is in an upper layer. Maybe not ideal if the 'body' is your scrollable container, but hoping it shed some light for a possible solution.
Extending it with a simplified example:
<body>
<sidebar></sidebar>
<div id="content-wrap">
<article></article>
<footer></footer>
</div>
</body>
And CSS would look like:
sidebar{
position: fixed;
}
#content-wrap{
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
}
Basically the bottom line is, don't position as fixed an element which exist within a scrolling touch container. You have to take it out if you don't want to deal with that iOS weird problem.
I was able to solve this problem by dynamically changing the -webkit-overflow-scrolling style to auto whenever a button was triggered to show the position: fixed div (which is inside the scrolling container).
I simply add the dont-scroll class.
.container{
overflow-x: scroll;
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
}
.container.dont-scroll{
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: auto; /* The fix */
}
Once the position: fixed div is hidden (in my case, when a user clicks the 'cancel' button on the popup modal), I dynamically remove the dont-scroll class to enable the smooth scrolling once again.

Remove horizontal scroll bar Godaddy html

I am currently building a website for Bearskin Group ....
The site is pretty much done, I am creating it with the GoDaddy online builder....
BUT - I have this stupid horizontal bar scroll coming up that id like to diasble...
I have tried using:
style="overflow-x: hidden"
&
div {
overflow-x:hidden;
overflow-y:hidden;
}
Can anyone help me remove this?
Thanks

This is because you are using huge width.
#wsb-element-233156931 .wsb-image-inner div {
height: 60px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
width: 2904px; /*remove it*/
}
or
change overflow:auto to overflow:hidden in class wsb-canvas-page-container
Also I noticed you are using image (check below), can't you remove the image or use a background-color to fill the color.
<div class="customStyle"><img style="width:2904px;height:60px;" alt="" src="//nebula.wsimg.com/b7fd20f21ba2c36e5ef9f39ea2613e8e?AccessKeyId=D238BA178C5B0342ADD7&disposition=0&alloworigin=1"></div>
I ran into the same problem. It turned out to be an element that was sticking out with an invisible box. You can define page restrictions but if a shape, text box or element is protruding into the edges it automatically overrides your restrictions and creates more room. Eliminating these should shrink your page back down to normal and eliminate the horizontal scroll.

Horizontal scrolling needed to view site on mobile devices

I have a website based Wordpress and for some strange reason when I open it through my iPhone or any other mobile device I only see the background of the site and only if I scroll a lot to the right I can see the full site.
I attached a screenshot so you can all see what I mean or just try opening http://sivantalmor.com and see by yourself.
Is there CSS I can use to fix this problem?
I'm not 100% sure what's causing this, but this seems to work:
Add the overflow-x: hidden; property to your div#main
Like so:
<div id="main" role="main" style="overflow-x: hidden;">
</div>
Edit:
The problem is here:
<div class="audio-player" style="direction: ltr;"></div>
You could remove direction: ltr; that's the one causing all this. But then you'll have to fix some margins for the element wrapping the album photo.
The exact problem is in the audioplayer part (#soundcheck_audio_player_widget-2).
Inside is the link .jp-pause, which is positioned wide outside the div to the left.
This causes the page to generate a long scrollbar to the left.
You can add overflow: hidden; to this Class: .jp-controls-wrap
.jp-controls-wrap {
overflow: hidden;
}
It does the trick!
