HTML appearing div makes a scrollbar appear - html

I have a webpage with a layer that appears which has height 500px. Inside this layer I have a normal webpage that has a hidden div. On clicking on a link in this layer this div appears, but a scrollbar in the layer appears too. I would like that the appearing of this div doesn't make the scrollbar appear, that is, this div simply appears over the page...
I hope I've been clear, it's really hard to explain.
Thanks all
EDIT:
I cannot post the code of the page because it's more than 800 lines long.
I try to explain myself a bit better:
I have this page full of text with in the middle a hidden div. Of course when the visibility = block is set for this div, it appears right where I want, but since it's in the middle the page becomes "longer" and an overflow appears, and overflow: hidden doesn't do the job :(.

Not sure exactly what you mean, but won't overflow: hidden do the job?

Can't take a screenshot of entire div element (scroll chat div)

There is a div. In this div has a chat. This div has scroll bar. I want to take a screenshot of all this div content at once. I almost did it by changing the div height to 500% and overflow: visible, but I got a problem. In fact I got about a large part of the chat in the screenshot, but at some point the chat just disappeared with a long white space till the end of the image as shown below.
I took this screenshot using the Firefox's "Screenshot node" feature. And I tried all possible extensions you can imagine before it and none worked (they don't detect the div scroll, just the main page scroll). Anyways, I want a HTML/CSS solution if possible. I want to understand why it is not working.
As you can see, there a lot of white space, but there is a lot of more chat that was ignored by the print.
What could have happened?
You can use FastStone Capture if you want to get a screenshot of a scrolling window or anything with scroll bars. Use the Capture Scrolling Window <Ctrl + Alt + PrtSc> in manual mode.

How to make a page unscrollable?

I have a page I'm working on that encompasses a vertical drop-down menu. However, when the menu drops down, it pushes the text below it downwards and off the page. This is expected, but this enables the scroll bar on the side of the page. I was wondering it there was a way to get rid of this. In other words, it shouldn't just not scroll, but never even offer the option to scroll.
Thanks!
If you want no scrollbar to appear and no scrolling whatsoever to occur, in the CSS for the div in which you contain said dropdown use
overflow: hidden;
This will cut off any 'additional content' though; see an example here
Use overflow: hidden; on the element you want to hide the scrollbar on.

Issue with alignment of page

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)

overlay over scrollbar

I'm sorry if the title is not very good, any suggestions are welcome.
The entire page is an iframe onto another website (in this case, jquery.com just for demo purposes). I have an overlay "Hello World", and if you click on the X it minimizes it (click again it will open it).
My issue in this case is that it covers the scrollbar on the right.
I assume the reason is I have a CSS positioning the sidebar at right:0, however since it's an iFrame it doesn't count the scrollbar.
What are my options for working around that?
I thought of giving it some extra space, but how do I know if the page really has a scrollbar, or how big the scrollbar is?
Is there a way to place the overlay at a position WITHIN the iframe instead?
There is no way to detect the remote page's height or even if a scrollbar is present or not. Your only option, besides moving the sidebar to the left, is detecting the browser's scrollbar width and permanently shifting the overlay off the right edge this amount.
yes. just set the right to 40 for example right: 40px;
There is an example here that shows you how to detect if an iframe has a scrollbar:
How can I detect a Scrollbar presence ( using Javascript ) in HTML iFrame?
And there is also an example here that measures the scrollbar width

Once you know these you can place your overlay however many pixels from the right

CSS issue with multi-accordion

I'm pretty sure I'm having a CSS issue, but I just can't figure out how to correct it. Currently, I have these accordions working perfectly, they collapse, expand, expand again when told to etc.
The problem I'm having is aligning the content within these accordion divs. Ideally, when everything is default (collapsed) all I want seen is the thumbnail image and the Headline. Then if the user wishes, they click on the headline and it expands and if they want to make a comment or view comments, they can click once again to expand that.
Here's the thing, I have to make the height 62px so everything will fit in and just not float all over the place. This creates a problem with the "View Comments" to "Text Here" area, as you can tell it has outrageous space between the two.
The other issue is, as I currently have it I'm forcefully indenting the article text so that it doesn't TEXT WRAP underneath the thumbnail image. Basically, I want it split into 2 columns so nothing ever goes beneath the image, but working with this accordion and divs inside the divs it's proving to be difficult for me.
You can define this in your CSS to set the height:
.acc2 { height: auto !important; }
Since your child accordions have an acc2 class on their header, this will override, restoring a default height to match the text.
