I have a div that has a lot of content and hence scrolls.. How can I hide the scrollbar such that it is not visible. EDIT: I do want scrolling to work! So.. Scrolling with no scrollbar?
eg
.scrolling_div {
overflow:auto;
/*something else to hide the scrollbar?*/
}
Ok, I spent sometime to write minimal code.
Check DEMO. Mouse over the div and scroll to see the scroller.
Note that this using an external plugin to listen to mousewheel event.
DEMO page for the plugin
overflow:hidden should hide the scrollbar.
.scrolling_div {
overflow: hidden;
}
overflow can take any one of the below values,
visible
Default value. Content is not clipped, it may be rendered outside the content box.
hidden
The content is clipped and no scrollbars are provided.
scroll
The content is clipped and desktop browsers use scrollbars, whether or not any content is clipped. This avoids any problem with scrollbars appearing and disappearing in a dynamic environment.Printers may print overflowing content.
auto
Provide scrollbars if content overflows.
Reference
overflow: auto; means "show a scrollbar if necessary". Change it to overflow: hidden; to disable scrolling.
EDIT: Okay, you want to make a custom scrollbar. Then see this sample jsFiddle for how to get started - it includes mouse wheeling and dragging of the scrollbar.
You can try this:
html {
overflow: hidden;
}
it will remove the scrollbar from all the window.
Otherwise if you need it only on a specific div:
.scrolling_div {
overflow: hidden;
}
Use a wrapper which covers the element you want to be scrollable without a scrollbar, and let the wrapper be narrower than the element to scroll, in the horizontal basis. This is what I mean: http://jsfiddle.net/FlagelloDiDio/EdgTt/
It really depends on what you are going for. see here
overflow:hidden; may be what you want.
If you want to dip into css3, you can play with overflow-x and overflow-y for even more options.
The only way to hide the scrollbar is to make the content non-scrollable and just cut off if it exceeds the height (overflow: hidden). Honestly, why would you want to have a page that is scrollable that doesn't have a scrollbar? That would confuse the heck out of any visitors. There's no way you can do this with CSS.
As far as customizing the scrollbar, there are JavaScripts out there to do that. But make sure that if the user has it disabled, they can still properly scroll the page without it.

I am using a facebook like button on my web page. I need it to align at the right side of the page. But there is a horizontal scroll bar displaying.
Please see the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/u4kMs/
I couldn't find out what causes this. How to fix this?
to disable scroll, try something like;
.your_div_class{
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
The scrollbar appears because the content is too wide for your screen.
Just omit the width on the div element, it will auto-expand to 100% of it's parent. Floating the facebook button to the right like you already did should then align the button correctly without scrollbar.
If you don't get a satisfying solution you can still declare overflow:hidden on the containing div to supress the scrollbars.
This would be the result: http://jsfiddle.net/poikl/u4kMs/8/
It's because the frame is too small for the width that you have set on the top div
<div style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:980px;">
So when this is on your web page yo shouldn't get the horizontal scroller. If you do, then consider changing the above width
Try this and remember to put the "right-aligned" div before the left-aligned div, even the right div have to be "after" graphically speaking.
rtl has a problem most times, (with me special with
<body dir="{{(App::isLocale('ar') ? 'rtl' : 'ltr')}}">
in laravel and the only solution is
body{ overflow-x: hidden; } but be careful with inside element is fitted well
I have a DIV section with the css
#all_messages{
position:inherit;
overflow:auto;
height:100%;
width:100%;
}
I want to make it scroll inside the page which i did with the overflow but i don't want an extra scrollbar on the page, i would like native browser's scrollbar to control that not one scrollbar just for that section
Ok so in the picture you can see i have two scrollbars i want to remove the inner scrollbar and have it controlled by the browser's native scrollbar
I think what you want to do is make all the other elements on the page position:fixed. If the content in the remaining section overflows, the browser bar will appear automatically. You must also remove the overflow:auto property from that div, so that it won't create an inner scroll as well.
Use overflow: hidden. This will restrict it and not show any scroll bars.
When I was studying the overflow property's values, I came across these two values: auto and scroll, which adds scrollbar(s) if the content overflows the element.
Could someone please explain me whats the difference between them?
Auto will only show a scrollbar when any content is clipped.
Scroll will however always show the scrollbar even if all content fits and you cant scroll it.
overflow: scroll will hide all overflowing content and cause scroll bars to appear on the element in question. If the content does not overflow, the scrollbars will still be visible, but disabled.
overflow: auto is very similar, but the scrollbars only appear when the content is overflowing.
There is a similar explanation of this here, with some screenshots to illustrate the point.
Take a look at CSS Tricks.
Auto will show scrollbar if and only if the content overflows; but scroll will always show the scrollbar, whether the content is overflowing or not.
Adding a point to the answer, Overflow:auto not worked in IE7 when position of the container is absolute Position relative overflow IE7. But setting Overflow:scroll works
overflow: scroll will show both horizontal and vertical scrollbar even when you don't need one or other. while, overflow: auto will show the scrollbar which your div needs. so basically auto will help you to get rid of both scollbar.
Here is more of that:

In Windows, overflow: scroll will always show the scrollbar and overflow: auto will show the scrollbar only if the content is overflowing. In macOS, the overflow: scroll and overflow: auto will always show the scrollbar if the content is overflowing. Tested in Chrome. I highly recommend using overflow: auto as it works the same way and does not generate problems in windows
I have a website will have a background that is the full size of the screen. Because of cross-browser limitations, some of them like to keep a scroll bar even if the image is about the exact size of the screen. Is it possible for me to just remove the scroll bars?
In case you couldn't tell, I'm working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript :)
body {
overflow: hidden;
}
and for ie 7
html {
overflow: hidden;
}
Try property:
overflow:hidden;

http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_pos_overflow.asp
Make sure your image is applied via the body tag, and if that does not work make sure it is applied to the html tag both of these tags via the Cascading Style Sheet file for example.
body {
background: url("image-src");
overflow: hidden;
}`
html {
background: url("image-src");
overflow: hidden;
}
Also remember to try and have the background image be of reasonable height and width.
Hope this helps.
Try adding html {overflow:auto;} to your CSS declarations. Auto overflow only gives the element the scroll bars it needs, even none at all. In the case of the disabled vertical scroll bar in IE, using auto overflow will remove it if it isn't needed.
This works a little better than using hidden overflow because you're declaring it on html or body. If your browser window becomes smaller than, not only your image but, your content you won't have any scroll bars with hidden overflow. As #Marc B said in a comment, removing user interface components to enforce a design is generally considered bad design.
You can read more about the overflow property here. From the site:
IE Trick
IE displays a vertical scrollbar all the time whether it needs it or not. This can be nice > for preventing horizontal jumps, but isn't always desirable. To remove this in IE, you can > set overflow to auto on the body element.
I know there is an insanely simple solution to this, but for the life of me I just can't get it. I have a site, where the content width is 848px (strange I know), but there is an absolutely positioned div outside of it all with a width of 1496px. They are centrally aligned with one another, and I need a scrollbar to be added ONLY once the window is resized to be more narrow than the 848px. check it out at brianbattenfeld.com/fingers/
You could always use CSS Media Queries to detect the width of the browser then you could add scroll bars to the page/elements you want. I couldn't quite work out if you were after horizontal or vertical scrollbars when when the wideth gets to 848px as currently there is no horizontal scroll bars at all.
Maybe something like this would work (haven't tested as is only a rough guide)
#media (min-width:848px) {
html {
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
}
Hope this is useful!
