Programmatic scroll on a div with parent with overflow-x hidden

It is exactly what it is described in the title.
I have a parent which has overflow-x: hidden.
I have 3 rows which has some content overflowing.
In this scenario I am not able to programmatically scroll one of the rows.
JS Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/w6v1xydn/5/
But if I change the rows to have overflow-x: auto, programmatic scrolling works but it also shows up a horizontal scrollbar.
JS Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/w6v1xydn/6/
Question: I want to understand why it is happening like that. And how can I get the scroll to work without the horizontal scrollbar showing up? (And no hiding the horizontal scrollbar using css is not an option)
PS: Would prefer a no plain HTML/CSS/JS answer. No jQuery
Update 1: Parent positioning doesn't seem to affect this

It works if you move
overflow-x: hidden
onto the row-class instead.
And you really don't need the overflow-x: hidden on the container as every item you put inside it so far has its width set to 100%.

Look here: https://jsfiddle.net/cornelraiu/w6v1xydn/8/
Setting the children divs to position relative like this:
#container > div {position: relative;left:0}
and then in js:
document.getElementById("row1").style.left = '-50px';
This should work

What prevents .row div from scrolling?

I would like to scroll each row horizontally. So on right arrow keypress normally the whole row should scroll to the left. In fact it was scrolling, before I added display: table in order to get the real width of row.
How to scroll .row?
Example, to show problem(need resize client area to show 2 cells):

Instead of using display: table, try using box-sizing: border-box.
Check this and this.
Here's your updated fiddle.

Listen to scroll event from overflow:hidden elements

I'm trying to synchronize the scrolling between two separate panels / divs.
One element has overflow: auto while the other has overflow: hidden (sort of trying to replicate a grid with frozen columns).
I can sync the scroll when the event happens within the element with overflow: auto but not the one with overflow: hidden (which is sort of normal if you ask me).
However, is there a workaround for this? I want to synchronize the scrolling both ways.
Here's a fiddle that will illustrate my issue (try scrolling in both panels): http://jsfiddle.net/0zzbkyqg/
Also, this thing seems to happen here already: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/frozen-columns but I just can't understand how they're doing it.

Maybe you should make use of the wheel event which is triggered when you roll the mouse wheel, regardless of whether the section of the view has scrolled or not.
Demo
$("#panel-left > table").on('wheel', function (e) {
// your logic here
}

I'm thinking you don't need jQuery to do that.
Look here: http://jsfiddle.net/ty0jyr4y/
I've removed the position: absolute and overflow properties from the panels and added float: left to make them inline (could also use display: inline-block), and added height: 400px, width: 417px and overflow: auto to the container.
The container's width is set to 417px instead of 400px because the scroll bar takes 17 pixels of space (across all browsers according to here).
Works beautifully. Is this what you want?

Making a div scrollable inside a resizeable container div

I am trying to make a div that looks like the MS Windows Command Prompt.
The div is resizeable, and has two children: a title-bar div, and a content div.
I want the content div to get scrollbars when it is larger than the window div. I want the title-bar to always be visible and not scroll, and not to be on top of the scroll bars.
http://www.webdevout.net/test?0vL interactively demonstrates my problem. Click on the content text and new rows get added. When enough rows are added for scroll bars to appear, they do not.
The content div has overflow:auto set.
Setting max-height or height on the content to 100% does not work because 100% doesn't account for the title-bar height, so the scrollbars appear after some rows have gone off the bottom. Also, the scrollbars, when they appear, obscure the draggable thumb on the outer div, stopping it being resizeable :(

Just change your resizable window to the child 'content' <div>. that way you're resizing the child <div> and the parent <div> resizes automatically to hold its contents.
Also, not sure if it was intentional but you have <div id ="Content" class="Content"> in your html and .Frame>.Contents { in your CSS (note the word content has an 's' in the CSS).
I believe this is what you're looking for:
http://www.webdevout.net/test?0wE

Add the following CSS:
.Content {
overflow: auto;
height: inherit;
}
Here you go: http://www.webdevout.net/test?0v-
Cheers ;)

I assume your HTML tree looks like:
Dialog
Title bar
Content
To make the Content scrollable, use the overflow CSS property
.content {
overflow: auto;
height: inherit;
}

Add the CSS property
overflow:auto;

Just add this to your CSS
overflow: auto;

How can I enable scroll-bar only when window is resized smaller?

One page website.
Header at the top with anchor links
To different divs (sections) on the page.
Say my screen resolution is 1280*800 and each div section is max 800 and the content on each div section is visible when my browser is maximum size. I forgot to mention that scrolling is disabled so the other divs are only visible (scrolled automatically) using the anchor links at the top. So heres the problem, when I resize my browser, say for example theres only 450px worth of height on my browser, I can only see that amount of content on the screen and cannot scroll until the bottom of the div, so it hits the bottom of my browser.
Another point to understand is that all the elements in the div itself are not overflowing the height of the div so a simple overflow does not work because the issue is to do with the size of the browsers' height.
In essence when the browser window is anything less than 800px, the div is then covered up at the bottom by the amount reduced by the browser. I want the whole div (NOT THE CONTENT INSIDE IT) to be pushed up (top position) as far as it needs to so that the bottom of the div i.e. 800th pixel touches the bottom of the browser.
Any solution?

You can listen to changes in the window size and adjust the size of your divs to it. This way the div will always have the size of the window, so if it gets too small its overflow will show.
$("div").css("height", $(window).height());
$(​window​).bind("resize",function() {
$("div").css("height", $(window).height());
});​​​​
Working example at jsFiddle. Remember to set the div's overflow to auto, so they will show when the screen gets too small.
Update: from what I could understand in your update, your requirements can be satisfied with simple CSS. Let the html, body overflow at will, but set the "container" div's overflow to hidden (so it will only scroll one page at a time) and its height to 800px. When the browser window is resized to less than 800 px, the body's scroll bars will appear, letting you scroll the container div up and down. Both the container and the contentes will remain the same size: 800px.
html,body {
overflow: auto;
}
.container, .contents {
height: 800px;
overflow: hidden;
}
Working example at jsFiddle. Is that what you need? If you literally want to push the container div up until its bottom is aligned to the window, try setting padding-top or margin-top instead of top (though in this case I don't know how the scrolling will work).

Use media queries:
#media screen and (max-height: 450px) {
body { overflow: auto; } /* Or change the height or whatever */
}

I think the best solution to set min-height of main wrap 800px, else you have to add overflow hidden for your main content. Scrolling can be triggered by setting main content top position, but it must be absolute or similar. You cat write a function witch helps you to move main content changing it's top position.
