This div below is causing the page to scroll horizontally on smaller then 1450px browsers. I thought overflow would fix this issue, but does not appear to... may be something I need to do on the parent div's. Any ideas?
http://barr-display.mybigcommerce.com/
#Header {
position: relative;
clear: both;
width: 1450px;
min-height: 190px;
overflow: hidden;
background: url('/content/headerbg3.jpg') repeat-x;
}
On body you need the following
body {
width:100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
The reason your code is not working is that you're setting overflow on the child(#header) when it needs to be set on the parent.
Looks like you want three things:
No scrollbar when header image is cut off.
YES to scrollbars when main page content is cut off.
Ability for your header background to extend to the right if the browser window is wide.
You really needed to post more of the relevant code here. However, I look at your site, and this'll fix it:
Change your rule for #outer:
#Outer {
clear: both;
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 190px;
width: 1024px;
}
Remove the margin and width rules from #outer's parent, and replace with width:100%;overflow-x:hidden;
Add these lines to your css:
html, body {
width:100%;
}
body {
overflow-x:hidden;
}
You need overflow-x so the vertical scroll bar doesn't disappear.
Also, remove overflow: hidden; from the #Header.

Here is the photo of the border of the body
As you can see the body is not at 100% height.
Here's the CSS codes of the HTML and Body
html{
height: 100%;
min-height: 100vh;
}
body{
height: 100%;
min-height: 100vh;
font-family: sans-serif;
min-width: 400px;
position: relative;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
border: 5px solid black;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
I tried putting the height of the html and body separately but it still didn't work. I tried searching and them saying make min-height and height at 100% or 100vh and so I did but it still didn't work. I think it is because those things that are over the body are overflowing from its container?
Edit: I forgot to add this but the reason why I want body to extend along with the overflow is because that left and right container is positioned as sticky. So I can't use overflow: hidden;
I can try putting the left and right container as position: fixed; but it does not take space so I have to resize everything and also I want to know what is happening so I can avoid this problem.
Here's the whole code
https://codepen.io/n01knowz/pen/qBpBapV
I'm new to CSS so I don't know if there's any writing problem there so please tell me what I can fix.
Update: Okay so the reason the body wasn't extending was because the container is overflowing and technically isn't getting any bigger and so the body isn't expanding because its child's height isn't expanding too. So that's the danger of using when you set the height of the container.
Solution: Just let the container's height be and let the child components of the container be the one to decide its height.
Add in the overflow attribute. Which can work more than one way.
If you want no scroll bar use hidden, if you want to keep the content you can use scroll.
body {
overflow: hidden; /*any content that would overflow would be hidden and there is no scroll bar, NOTE, this will not stop the containers from overflowing. */
overflow: scroll; /* this would place scroll bar once the content overflows */
overflow: auto; /*will only add the scroll bar only after content over flows but will not add if it the content does not overflow */
}
On mobile devices when a position:fixed; element appears on the screen the user can scroll the <body>, through the fixed element.
body,
html{
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#fixed {
background: red;
position: fixed;
left:0;
top: 0;
width: 200px;
height: 100%;
}
#content {
background: blue;
height: 3000px;
}
I tried to add overflow:hidden for <html> and <body> but it didn't help. I would like to prevent scrolling through the fixed element, but I would like to allow the scroll, when the fixed element is visible, but the user scrolls on <body>.
I tried this with ios and android devices. What is the best solution to solve this?
background:fixed
will make the rest of the body scroll through the fixed element. That is is the default behaviour. By the looks of it, you want the fixed element to be positioned at the top of your page. Why not keep it is a separate container with position absolute and rest of the body in a different container. Then, add the scroll to the rest of the body keeping HTML, body at 100% height. you may need to keep the height fixed for the 2nd container.
I have a problem with oveflow-x in my page. Althought the body has overflow-x hidden, I can still scroll on the page.
<html>
<body>
<div id="content">
<div id="mydiv"></div>
<div>
</body>
</html>
html and body have overflow-x:hidden.
Div "content" has nothing in the css and div "myDiv" has position absolute.
How can I make the "mydiv" not to go out of the page? Because now what happens is that I can still scroll on x.

Without more code, the best answer I can think of is that your html and body tags do not have any kind of width set so they are inheriting the default width of 100%. Meaning that every child element is going to be inside of that 100%.
Set the body to have a set width and then set overflow to hidden, then check if the elements in your page are exceeding the width.
Example:
body{
width: 1024px;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
Also, the code that you set inside of #content could directly be affecting it as well, some elements will ignore its parents and be rendered outside of them which brings us back to... give us more code.
Because you're using a bad selector for overflow. If you want to avoid VERTICAL SCROLLING you use this:
html, body {
overflow-y: hidden;
}
to avoid HORIZONTAL SCROLLING:
html, body {
overflow-x: hidden;
}
to avoid BOTH
html, body {
overflow: hidden;
}
take a look to your forked fiddle where I avoid BOTH overflow axises and there's no overflow at all
Change "overflow-x: hidden !important;" to be
html, body {
overflow: hidden !important;
}
or
html, body {
overflow-y: hidden !important;
}
In-fact you can ignore "!important" since you use !important to override other rule. And here you were just using the wrong property "overflow-x" which is for "Horizontal scroll"
And it works!!!
Here is the working Fiddle > http://jsfiddle.net/o7dph6sj/1/
Updated the Answer with addition requirement:
You add "overflow: hidden" when you don't want both scrolls,
AND "overflow-y: hidden;" hides the Horizontal Scroll
AND "overflow-x: hidden;" hides the Vertical Scroll
Checkout the updated Fiddle and try on your by commenting and un-commenting this code:
html, body {
overflow-y: hidden; /* Hides Horizontal Scroll*/
/*overflow-x: hidden;*/ /* Hides Vertical Scroll*/
/*overflow: hidden;*/ /* Hides Both Vertical and Horizontal Scroll*/
}

I tried for several hours and I found that the body size needs to be specified, and its attribute position must be set to absolute. Then you can have overflow-x: hidden work well in your code.
in this case, I have a web with a navbar that I want to slide right to hide from the main body in mobile size. I called #media screen and (max-width:576px) to make it run on mobile size. the problem occurred before I specify the max-width the body must be shown: I still can scroll to the right though I specified the overflow-x: hidden
so I added max-width:100vh inside the body style, and voila. it works!
checkout my code:
body{
min-width: 0px;
max-width: 100vh;
position: absolute;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
nav ul {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
width: 40%;
top: 34px;
height: 100vh;
z-index: 1;
background-color: #194ca7;
}
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.
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.
