Hide scroll bar, but while still being able to scroll
(42 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
This is a reference that I used, which explains how to make a div scrollable with its scroll bar hidden. The only difference is that I have nested divs. Check my fiddle
HTML:
<div id="main">
<div id="sub-main">
<div id="content">
<div id="item-container">
<div class="item">a</div>
<div class="item">b</div>
<div class="item">c</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#main {
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
}
#sub-main {
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#content {
background-color: red;
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
overflow: auto;
}
#item-container {
width: 1500px;
height: 500px;
}
.item {
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
font-size: 25em;
text-align: center;
float: left;
}
Like above, I have a overflowed horizontal div and I want to hide its scroll bar. I have to make it still scrollable because $.scrollTo() wouldn't work otherwise.
UPDATE:
I have read all the answers, but I still have not resolved my problem and don't know what's causing it. This is the live that's having troubles.
Basically, I am trying to follow this almost exactly the same, but there must be some reason that my website isn't working as expected. There are two problems.
When I set overflow: hidden to a parent container of scrollable items, I cannot scroll (native javascript scroll functions do not work too).
I want to scroll just the overflowed container, not the entire window. This can be done by setting a target in $.localScroll({ target: '#projects-content' }) but nothing scrolls when I set the target. If I don't, scrolling works as long as overflow:hidden is not applied.
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
HTML:
<div id="projects"> <!-- start of entire projects page -->
<div id="project-sidebar">
<a href="#project-first">
<div class="sidebar-item sidebar-first">first</div>
</a>
<a href="#project-second">
<div class="sidebar-item sidebar-second">second</div>
</a>
<a href="#">
<div class="sidebar-item sidebar-third">third</div>
</a>
</div>
<div id="project-content"> <!-- this must be the scrollable itmes' container, not the entire window -->
<div id="project-first" class="project-item">
<!-- these items should be scrollable -->
<div class="project-subitem" id="first-sub1">
<a href='#first-sub2' class='next'>next</a>
</div>
<div class='project-subitem' id='first-sub2'>
<a href='#first-sub1' class='prev'>prev</a>
</div>
<!-- end of scrollable items -->
</div>
</div> <!-- end of scroll scroll container -->
</div> <!-- end of entire projects page -->
<script>
// FIXME: when I set target, nothing scrolls.
// But I don't want the entire window to scroll
$('#projects').localScroll({
//target: '#project-content',
hash: false
});
</script>
CSS
#project-content {
width: 80%;
height: 100%;
position: relative;
float: left;
}
#project-sidebar {
float: left;
width: 20%;
height: 100%;
}
.project-item {
width: 300%;
height: 100%;
}
.project-subitem {
height: 100%;
width: 33.33%;
position: relative;
float: left;
}
Update:
After I added overflow:scroll to #project-content, the scrolling works as expected. All I need now is making scroll bars disappear in #project-content. I tried adding overflow:hidden to its parent but had no success. I also tried adding it to html, body, but then the entire document refuses to accept any scrolling functions like scrollTop().
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Theory :
The technique is to use a parent container that is shorter than the child element with scrollbar. This image shows what I mean :
Practice :
In your case, I suggest using absolute positionning and negative bottom value on #project-content so it overflows it's parent container (#projects) at the bottom.
The point is now what negative value? It should be the same value as the with of a scroll but scrollbars are never the same width according to browsers. So I suggest giving a bigger value : -30pxto be sure it is hidden. You will just need to be carefull that you don't have content to close to the bottom that can be hidden on browesers with thin scrollbars.
This is the CSS you should add to your website :
#projects{
position: relative;
}
#project-content{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 20%;
bottom: -30px;
/* remove:
height: 100%;
position: relative;
float: left;
padding-bottom: -15px
/*
}
scollbars take up around 20px so just make you scrollable div 20px taller and 20px wider and your scrollbars will be hidden:
#content {
background-color: red;
width: 520px;
height: 520px;
overflow: auto;
}
Example
It's kind of cheating but could you hide it behind the #content like this DEMO
#content {
background-color: red;
width: 500px;
height: 480px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#item-container {
width: 1500px;
height: 500px;
overflow: scroll;
}
If you know all containers that can be scrollable, you can hide scrollbar with CSS and a little bit of JS. For webkit-based browsers (safari, google chrome, opera) it will be CSS-only solution to set scrollbar width to 0. For IE, Firefox and other non-webkit browsers you should calculate scrollbar width that will be used as negative margin-right for you scrollable content.
To do so you should wrap your content into div with overflow-y:scroll to always show vertical scrollbar and hide this scrollbar with margin-right:-17px and parent overflow:hidden. Example is here. No need to set fixed width, nor height.
This is the way that used in jQuery Scrollbar. Hiding horizontal scrollbar is more complicated and requires to handle content changes to recalculate container height.
I basicly add padding:0 1em 1em 0; to the element where it is supposed to be hidden , this hides both scrollbars if parent has overflow: hidden. tune padding-bottom or only padding-right, if it is to hide only one of them.
1em is average width of scroll bars in most browsers :
http://jsfiddle.net/5GCsJ/912/
The solution to make the content itself with horizontal scroll.
Just increase the height of #main, and #content.
#main {
width: 500px;
height: 520px;
}
#sub-main {
overflow: hidden;
}
#content {
background-color: red;
width: 500px;
height: 520px;
overflow: auto;
}
#item-container {
width: 1500px;
height: 500px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.item {
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
font-size: 25em;
text-align: center;
float: left;
}
Use a script to create custom scrollbars.
http://manos.malihu.gr/jquery-custom-content-scroller/
Then use CSS(or modify script or change script config) to hide the custom scrollbars.
I did this crudely using jQuery and your example
Check this fiddle:
I simply detected the direction of the scroll-wheel and pushed the horiz-scroll bar with jQuery
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#content').bind('mousewheel', function(e){
var curScroll = $("#content").scrollLeft();
if(e.originalEvent.wheelDelta > 0) {
$("#content").scrollLeft(curScroll-500);
} else {
$("#content").scrollLeft(curScroll+500);
}
});
});
It is "crude" because I hard-coded some values like the 500px amount to scroll, you could write some more javascript to detect dynamically how much to scroll. Plus I don't know if the wheelDelta value will be +120 for up and -120 for down, for you and other users.
Also note that the scrolLeft() can be animated.. for smoother transitions.

Hide scroll bar, but while still being able to scroll
(42 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I have a div with element styles like this:
<div style="overflow-y: auto; max-height: 300px;">< id="DivTableContainer" ></div>
I need to allow scrolling along the y-axis when it becomes higher than 300px, this works fine. But I need to set "visiblity = false" to scroll bar itself.
I tried to use this element style:
overflow-y: hidden;
While it hides the scroll bar, it also disallows scrolling. Is there a way to get scrolling without having the scrollbar visible?
It's better, if you use two div containers in HTML .
As Shown Below:
HTML:
<div id="container1">
<div id="container2">
// Content here
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#container1{
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
#container2{
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
padding-right: 20px;
}
I know this is an oldie but here is a quick way to hide the scroll bar with pure CSS.
Just add
::-webkit-scrollbar {display:none;}
To your id or class of the div you're using the scroll bar with.
Here is a helpful link Custom Scroll Bar in Webkit
Try this:
HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
// Content here
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#container{
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
#content{
width: 100%;
height: 99%;
overflow: auto;
padding-right: 15px;
}
html, body{
height: 99%;
overflow:hidden;
}
JSFiddle Demo
Tested on FF and Safari.
having an issue with a javascript element.
<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/Account" data-widget-id="395882390205108224">Tweets by #Twitter</a><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

// ]]></script>
This is linked in with my other question I think but not 100% as this is regarding the JS element.
On JSFiddle it works fine, I can shrink the element and it appears. On my website it doesn't appear unless I shrink the browser down.

You assigned a fixed height to the container for this elements.
CSS:
#frontpage-Button-Cont {
width: 100%;
height: 135px;
text-align: center;
}
the height attribute (works in chrome then) or add overflow: auto to have it in a container with scroll bars
#frontpage-Button-Cont {
width: 100%;
height: 135px;
text-align: center;
overflow: auto;
}
I am in a corner with this one. I have a layout with 2 containers. One of the containers represents a map (#main) and needs to stay in user view at all times, the other one (#sub) serves as a scroll-able content. Everything looks fine if content fits horizontally. However as soon as the horizontal bar appears (resize the window to replicate), the scroll-able content overlaps the fixed content and I am out of ideas how to fix it. I know of one way to fix it by positioning the fixed content absolutely instead and useing javascript to adjust its position from the top. Is there any way to fix it?
Sample code is below:
Html:
<div id="content">
<div id="main">main</div>
<div id="sub">
<strong>Sub</strong><br />
sub<br />
sub<br />
sub
</div>
</div>
Css:
#content {
width: 1200px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#main {
position: fixed;
width: 849px;
height: 500px;
background: red;
}
#sub {
position: relative;
float: right;
width: 350px;
height: 3500px;
background: green;
}
JSFiddle link
Based on your comments it sounds like not allowing the user to scroll will solve the issue:
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
overflow-x:hidden;
}
If you want them both to scroll you have to remove the fixed positioning:
#main {
position: relative;
width: 849px;
height: 300px;
background: red;
font-size: 50px;
text-align: center;
padding-top: 200px;
float:left;
}
I have a div , something like this
#footer
{ position:fixed;
left:40px;
top:0px;
}
The position is fixed when I scroll vertically or horizontally. But i want the div to be fixed when user scrolls the scroll bar vertically but should be varying when user scrolls the scroll-bar horizontally.
I have seen some of the forums and posts but mostly I found jquery script.I want to know if there is a way to do it in CSS?
Fixed position in only one direction
I read this post but I did not understand the jquery script. Kindly let me know the way to do it in css or the better way to do it with jquery.Thanks
Seems to be impossible to get this "look fine" with only CSS/HTML.
As mentioned from Ruup or Fixed position in only one direction, layering over JS for it, is a good option.
Fortunately, i found a way to get it work somehow (not that beautiful):
http://jsfiddle.net/MKEbW/5/
HTML (inside the body-tag):
<div id="simulated-html">
<div id="footer">
<span>
<!-- Footer text here -->
</span>
</div>
<div id="simulated-body">
<!-- Your website here -->
</div>
</div>
CSS:
* { margin:0; padding:0; }
html {
font: 12px/1.5em Georgia;
}
p { padding: 5px; }
html, body {
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden; /* hide scrollbars, we create our own */
}
#simulated-html {
background: orange;
overflow-x: scroll; /* force horizontal scrollbars (optional) */
overflow-y: hidden; /* hide. we use the #simulated-body for it. */
position: relative; /* to align #footer on #simulated-html */
height: 100%;
}
#simulated-body {
overflow-y: scroll; /* force vertical scrollbars (optional) */
overflow-x: hidden; /* hide. we use the #simulated-html for it. */
height: 100%;
background: #eee;
/* use as a container */
width: 450px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px; /* vertical align it to #simulated-html */
width: 100%;
background: red;
z-index: 99; /* always show footer */
color: white;
}
#footer span {
width: 450px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: green;
display: block;
}
Seems to work in IE7+ and modern browsers, tested via browserlab.adobe.com.
Tested with scrollbars, smaller and wider viewports in Chrome 18.
I recommend a fallback for not capable browsers and/or a JS workaround.
The linked post is exactly what you need. You can copy the exact script.
$(window).scroll(function(){
$('#footer').css('left','-'+$(window).scrollLeft());
});
The div css is like this (probably not footer when it has top 0px :P but ok)
#footer
{ position:fixed;
left:40px;
top:0px;
}
When you scroll the jquery script just adjusts the left(x) coordinate to the same value as the scrollLeft of the window.
There is a small fix on the previous code.
The changed javascript code for moving fixed div horizontally
$(window).scroll(function(){
$('#footer').css('left',-$(window).scrollLeft());
});
how should the horizontal axis vary? the way this code is currently it would stay 40px from the left at all times. in order to make the left margin change position relative to the size of the window you must use percentages and negative margins. for instance, to center a fixed div:
#centered {
height: 350px;
top: 0;
position: fixed;
width: 1024px;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -512px;
z-index: 9999;
}
notice that your negative margin must be HALF the width of your div. if you want it 40px to the left of center then you would add another 40px to margin-left.
I have a page that has 2 columns. The first column is a dynamic width. It contains a bunch of tabular data in tables. The 2nd column is a fixed width full of navigation stuff.
The 2 columns are divs with float left. I need to accomplish 2 things.
I need to center the 2 divs on the page. For example, if the first div is 600px wide as dictated by the data inside of it and the second div is a fixed 200px, the centering point is 400px.
I don't want the 2nd div to wrap down if the browser window is resized.
I'm thinking that I may have to nest the 2 divs inside of another div, set the parent div width using javascript, then center it.
I created this fiddle to help illustrate. http://jsfiddle.net/darthg8r/uhKdt/
Surround them with a div and set its style to:
width: ( whatever you need )
margin: 0 auto; // this centers the div
You can set the width dynamically with JavaScript if needed. As long as it's smaller than 100% of the surrounding container, it will stay centered.
You could achieve this with the following code:
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="container">
<div id="variable">test</div>
<div id="fixed">test</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#wrapper { overflow: hidden; }
#container {
float: left;
position: relative;
left: 50%; }
#container > div {
float: left;
position: relative;
right: 50%;
height: 300px; }
#variable {
background: red;
width: 300px; }
#fixed {
background: blue;
width: 200px; }
Preview: https://jsfiddle.net/Wexcode/mreLt/
You could also achieve this effect by wrapping the two elements in a container, setting them both to display: inline-block, and finally setting their container to have text-align: center.
The answer is a little more complicated than this, so let me know if you want to choose this route instead.
To make it so the elements don't fall to the next line, use inline-block.
<div id="container">
<div id="variable">
<p>test</p>
</div><div id="fixed">
<p>test</p>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
body { margin: 0; }
#container {
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
white-space: nowrap; }
#container > div {
height: 300px;
display: inline-block; }
#variable {
background: red;
width: 100px; }
#fixed {
background: blue;
width: 200px; }
