I have a website here.
Viewed in a desktop browser, the black menu bar properly extends only to edge of the window, since the body has overflow-x:hidden.
In any mobile browser, whether Android or iOS, the black menu bar displays its full width, which brings whitespace on the right of the page. As far as I can tell, this whitespace isn't even a part of the html or body tags.
Even if I set the viewport to a specific width in the <head>:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1100, initial-scale=1">
The site expands to the 1100px but still has the whitespace beyond the 1100.
What am I missing? How do I keep the viewport to 1100 and cut off the overflow?
Creating a site wrapper div inside the <body> and applying the overflow-x:hidden to the wrapper instead of the <body> or <html> fixed the issue.
It appears that browsers that parse the <meta name="viewport"> tag simply ignore overflow attributes on the html and body tags.
Note: You may also need to add position: relative to the wrapper div.
try
html, body {
overflow-x:hidden
}
instead of just
body {
overflow-x:hidden
}
VictorS's comment on the accepted answer deserves to be it's own answer because it's a very elegant solution that does, indeed work. And I'll add a tad to it's usefulness.
Victor notes adding position:fixed works.
body.modal-open {
overflow: hidden;
position: fixed;
}
And indeed it does. However, it also has a slight side-affect of essentially scrolling to the top. position:absolute resolves this but, re-introduces the ability to scroll on mobile.
If you know your viewport (my plugin for adding viewport to the <body>) you can just add a css toggle for the position.
body.modal-open {
// block scroll for mobile;
// causes underlying page to jump to top;
// prevents scrolling on all screens
overflow: hidden;
position: fixed;
}
body.viewport-lg {
// block scroll for desktop;
// will not jump to top;
// will not prevent scroll on mobile
position: absolute;
}
I also add this to prevent the underlying page from jumping left/right when showing/hiding modals.
body {
// STOP MOVING AROUND!
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll !important;
}
As #Indigenuity states, this appears to be caused by browsers parsing the <meta name="viewport"> tag.
To solve this problem at the source, try the following:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1">.
In my tests this prevents the user from zooming out to view the overflowed content, and as a result prevents panning/scrolling to it as well.
This is the simplest solution to solve horisontal scrolling in Safari.
html, body {
position:relative;
overflow-x:hidden;
}
body{
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden !important;
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
works on iOS9
Keep the viewport untouched: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
Assuming you would like to achieve the effect of a continuous black bar to the right side: #menubar shouldn't exceed 100%, adjust the border radius such that the right side is squared and adjust the padding so that it extends a little more to the right. Modify the following to your #menubar:
border-radius: 30px 0px 0px 30px;
width: 100%; /*setting to 100% would leave a little space to the right */
padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px; /*fills the little gap*/
Adjusting the padding to 10px of course leaves the left menu to the edge of the bar, you can put the remaining 40px to each of the li, 20px on each side left and right:
.menuitem {
display: block;
padding: 0px 20px;
}
When you resize the browser smaller, you would find still the white background: place your background texture instead from your div to body. Or alternatively, adjust the navigation menu width from 100% to lower value using media queries. There are a lot of adjustments to be made to your code to create a proper layout, I'm not sure what you intend to do but the above code will somehow fix your overflowing bar.
Creating a site wrapper div inside the body and applying the overflow->x:hidden to the wrapper INSTEAD of the body or html fixed the issue.
This worked for me after also adding position: relative to the wrapper.
No previous single solution worked for me, I had to mix them and got the issue fixed also on older devices (iphone 3).
First, I had to wrap the html content into an outer div:
<html>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">... old html goes here ...</div>
</body>
</html>
Then I had to apply overflow hidden to the wrapper, because overflow-x was not working:
#wrapper {
overflow: hidden;
}
and this fixed the issue.
Adding a wrapper <div> around the entirety of your content will indeed work. While semantically "icky", I added an div with a class of overflowWrap right inside the body tag and then set set my CSS like this:
html, body, .overflowWrap {
overflow-x: hidden;
}
Might be overkill now, but works like a charm!
I encountered the same problem with Android devices but not iOS devices. Managed to resolve by specifying position:relative in the outer div of the absolutely positioned elements (with overflow:hidden for outer div)
I solved the issue by using overflow-x:hidden; as follows
#media screen and (max-width: 441px){
#end_screen { (NOte:-the end_screen is the wrapper div for all other div's inside it.)
overflow-x: hidden;
}
}
structure is as follows
1st div end_screen >> inside it >> end_screen_2(div) >> inside it >> end_screen_2.
'end_screen is the wrapper of end_screen_1 and end_screen_2 div's
As subarachnid said overflow-x hidden for both body and html worked
Here's working example
**HTML**
<div class="contener">
<div class="menu">
das
</div>
<div class="hover">
<div class="img1">

</div>
</div>
<div class="baner">

easiest way to solve this , add
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0">
I had tried many ways from replies in this topic, mostly works but got some side-effect like if I use overflow-x on body,html it might slow/freeze the page when users scroll down on mobile.
use position: fixed on wrapper/div inside the body is good too, but when I have a menu and use Javascript click animated scroll to some section, It's not working.
So, I decided to use touch-action: pan-y pinch-zoom on wrapper/div inside the body. Problem solved.
I've just been working on this for a few hours, trying various combinations of things from this and other pages. The thing that worked for me in the end was to make a site wrapper div, as suggested in the accepted answer, but to set both overflows to hidden instead of just the x overflow. If I leave overflow-y at scroll, I end up with a page that only scrolls vertically by a few pixels and then stops.
#all-wrapper {
overflow: hidden;
}
Just this was enough, without setting anything on the body or html elements.
Setting overflow-x to 'clip' instead of 'hidden' also prevents unwanted scrolling on touch-devices, with wacom-pens, with shift-scrollwheel or any other programmatic scrolling. On the downside, it also prevents programmatic scrolling with javascript.

The only way to fix this issue for my bootstrap modal (containing a form) was to add the following code to my CSS:
.modal {
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: auto!important;
}
step 1: set position to fixed to the element that goes out from the viewport. In my case it is:
.nav-links {
position:fixed;
right:0px;
background-color:rgba(0,0,0, 0.8);
height:85vh;
top:8vh;
display:flex;
flex-direction:column;
align-items: center;
width:40%;
transform: translateX(100%);
transition: transform 0.5s ease-in;
}
Step2: add a css property to body and html as:
body, html{
overflow-x: hidden;
}
I didn't add any wrapper. Only these two steps worked for me. The project I am working on is an angular project.
The following works
body,
.innerbodywrapper{
overflow-x: hidden;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
}
Solution that properly work for mobile device with flex positionning top :
html,body {
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
and in web page :
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=0">
Don't forget to positioning this css in the different webpage main divs :
height : auto !important;
html, body{ overflow-x: hidden; position: relative; } Just try like this where you have added the overflow-hidden.
this is my website www.sklepdruku.pl.
https://sklepdruku.pl/project/wizytowki-skladane/ here u got visualisation off my problem, my iframe is there but something (js probably) is changing his size to 1px (inline style). Any suguestions how can i find this script?
you can solve it using css by adding this to your css:
iframe.pm_iframe {
min-height: 500px !important;
}
Update to prevent scrolling inside iframe add this overflow: hidden !important; inside body under the iframe
I have been stuck with a problem with anchor links since yesterday. I have anchor links at the top of this page,: http://instabasik.com/icon-web-fonts
Whenever I click one, it skips to the anchor on the page as expected, but scrolling back to top is impossible, the top part of the page just goes missing!
Any idea why this happens? I think it might be a bootstrap bug. The page is built on bootstrap 3...
The row class has overflow: hidden; which is causing this behavior.
Add overflow: visible; to the div with the mainRow class:
Change: <div class="row mainRow">
Into: <div class="row mainRow" style="overflow: visible;">
To fix your height problem remove the margin and padding from .equalHeightCol
.equalHeightCol {
margin-bottom: -99999px;
padding-bottom: 99999px;
}
This is an issue with the CSS on your site, not with bootstrap.
The equalHeightCol class needs to be removed from the CSS or HTML markup.
.equalHeightCol {
margin-bottom: -99999px;
padding-bottom: 99999px;
}
This code is causing the issue. To make the table separators go all the way to the bottom after this, remove the padding-bottom from the .mainRow CSS.
.mainRow {
margin-bottom: 0;
padding-bottom: 2em;
}
I am using shadowbox to open different links on a website. For some reason, Firefox does not show the horizontal scrollbar. It works fine in all other browsers.
I have tried this with no luck :(
link
I have also tried the following on the iframe page:
html {
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-horizontal;
overflow: scroll;
}
Anyone know whats going on?
shadowbox.css line 9 contains:
overflow-x: hidden;
Which hides the horizontal scrollbar.
You could overrule this by adding !important:
body {
overflow: scroll !important;
}
Add this in your default.css file and try:
html, body {
overflow: auto;
}
I have a form with errors that appear above it that look like
<div class="form-error" id="optin_error" style="display: none; ">You must opt-in to participate.</div>
And a form inside a <form> with a bunch of inputs inside of divs... nothing really out of the ordinary.
But I have javascript validation on my field with turns the form-error from display:none; to display:block; which resizes the container field fine. The problem lies in the fact there is a footer (also inside a div) that does not move down. If I open up IE8 developer and look at the main container (that wraps everything) it also does not extend. If I for example uncheck the main container width style and then recheck it, it fixes everything.
Is there a way to force IE8 to "resize" their divs when an element inside a div turns from display:none; to display:block;
PS. There is no funny css, no floats, no absolute positioning, nothing that would cause this...
Form Error Block CSS
.form-error {
color: #EB1F25;
}
Footer Block CSS
.footer-wrapper {
border-top: 1px solid #000000;
margin: 30px 0 10px 0;
}
.footer-wrapper .links {
width: 960px;
}
After some investigating it seems the inline-block attribute on the container is causing the issue.
Ended up being an issue with display:inline-block; element not resizing. Changing to float worked.
try givin the width to the wrapper. remember the footer should be inside your main wrapper, Also give a height other divs... min-height or something similar.
.footer-wrapper {
border-top: 1px solid #000000;
margin: 30px 0 10px 0;
width: 960px;
}
.footer-wrapper .links {
width : 100px;
}
It's hard to tell what exactly is making the problems. But you can test out some of this tips I suggest you to try:
If your .form-error is showing up before (above) the actual <form ...></form>, then try to insert a <br clear="all"/> tag between those two blocks. If not, add clear:all to <form ...> and width:100% to .form-error.
If not, add position:relative and overflow:hidden first to the .form-error, if not helps, add it to <form...> too.
As already said, will be much easier if we could see your entire code, try to use jsbin with your entire css and html source code, because IE is very strict in html rendering.
