I am creating a website at the moment where scrolling will be disabled on the entire website (it's made out of sections, all are as tall as screen height except for 1 section, because that one is too large..).
I've been looking around to see if any plug-ins exist for this yet, but haven't had any luck, yet.
Would anyone know a plug-in or how to do this?
It would help me a great deal.
if all of your site has the style overflow:hidden then you can target the one section by id or class and make it overflow-y:scroll
ps the link you posted is a 404 error
You can use css to disable or enable scroll for a containing element by setting the overflow property to none.
However, in your case, I guess there is no reason for a script, you can simply set the overflow property in the style of the offending element.
Here's the code:
http://jsfiddle.net/tqkr9vyz/2/
function setScroll(elementName, s) {
document.getElementsByName(elementName).style.overflow = s;
}

I have been searching about this problem from last week...all I could found is this " overflow-x :hidden "
Here is my site : seriesratings.com
when I open it in my iphone, it shows me horizontal scrollbar.
I tried this already:
html,body{overflow-x:hidden;overflow-y:scroll}
someone has told me this "You have inline styles all over your html that will not be properly fixed by using css"
I can not change style now because site is fully developed.
does someone has any other way, like hide horizontal scrollbar with jquery or JS or any other code.
At the sg-site-header-1 I found a H1 with an A tag in it, this thing causes the horizontal scroll-bar, why should you make a color #blank? This is not working, then make is display: invisible or something like that. Hopefully this will work for you!
#dutchsociety Thanks A Lot, you saved me, If you have time can you tell me how did you find out the solution to the problem, so I can do it by myself..
I opened my element inspector in Google Chrome and deleting sections of the website. So on that moment I deleted the header and saw that there was the long sized H1.
On my megamenu, whenever I hover between unsorted lists I can see, in inspector, style being added overflow:hidden and height. This height causes the entire mega menu to 'jump' by about 10px. I have searched all my jquery, and I know I didn't put any such code in it, and tried finding if any of the added jquery libraries (superfish for instance) are adding it, but no luck.
Is it possible in Chrome to somehow pinpoint where this change comes from? Or in Firefox? Because something must be adding that inline style, and I have no idea what.
Found the issue. Superfish was adding the code, but the 'jump' came from my megamenu list items being set as display:inline-block and not display: block elements. Once I put them to block, the jump was gone.
// Major edit, sorry in bed with back pain, screwed up post
One of the ad agencies I code for had me set up an alternate scrolling solution because you know how designers hate things that just work but aren't beautiful.
The scrolling solution is applied to divs with overflow:hidden and uses jQuery's scrollTo(). It's a set of buttons top and bottom that handle moving the content.
So, this is married in places to their CMS. What I have not been able to sort yet is how to hide the scrolling UI when overflow:auto would not have been triggered by the CMS content and the buttons are not needed.
The divs have set heights and widths. Can i detect hidden content? Or measure the div contents' height?
Any ideas?
So you want to get the height of a hidden element? I found this post maybe it is what you are looking for.
Its using jQuery, but the concept is the same. Hope this helps!

I hope i am mistaken, but you would need to emulate overflow by setting properties using some js, then you can get these values using getAttribute or your own method. Otherwise when you set overflow to auto, then the browser will be doing its own thing and the only value returned as a property of overflow would be a string like 'auto'.
Can you explain this better? You want to hide the scrollbar of a div set to overflow:auto when it doesnt have enough text to overflow? Browser does this for you.
You want to hide the scrollbar of a div set to overflow auto when it is scrolled down to some point, but you arent looking at it or hovering or something? That will be sort of complicated.
If you want to know if a div has overflow set to something, you just do:
object.style.overflow
and it will give you a string.
possible values:
visible
hidden
scroll
auto
inherit
you can set overflow the same way
http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_pos_overflow.asp
from what i understand now is you have these divs with hidden scroll, but some graphic designer custom scroll bar and you use scrollTo to do the actual scrolling. BUT you problem lies when you dont have enough data to actuall need a scrollbar, but your graphic stuff shows up anyway, so you want to hide it.
so the real question here is how do you get the height of content? you want the property offsetHeight, but im pretty sure its still IE only.
What do you mean by CMS?
Yes you can access the div's content height, since you can access all of the div's children in JavaScript. (Sorry for not including example. I haven't work with pure JS in a while now so I don't want to point you in the wrong direction.)
Doing this, you'll kind of be able to "detect hidden content" and then be able to do what you actually want to do.
About your first question, I doubt you can control scroll bars once you've set overflow to auto.
Using jQuery height() on a div containing the content I am able to show/hide the user interface as needed based on whether height exceeds the CSS height of the div with overflow:hidden.
Nasty little bug, this one.
As illustrated in Android ticket 6721, the Android browser seems to not respect z-index when absolutely positioned elements are laid over the top of <a> or <input> tags.
I am desperate for any sort of workaround. Has anybody conquered this one before?
Thanks in advance!
This problem is probably related to controls and their being special for the browser. While looking at your problem (in chromium) I found a related problem that when you press the tab key you will still be able to focus the input elements. You probably don't want this either (regardless of bleedthrough). The solution is surprisingly simple, you write your script to add the disabled attribute to all input/button/etc. elements that are overlayed. A disabled input will not be able to receive focus (by keyboard or otherwise), and clicking it should be impossible.
As this also disables silly keyboard circumnavigation it is not even a workaround, but a better design that also works with keyboard based navigation as expected.
To answer the question properly it's important to read the bug page. The problem is not about visibility of the input below, but its "clickability".
I can't test it, but these are possible workarounds:
0 Forget absolute positioning and just put two divs there and toggle visibility.
If this doesn't satisfy You...
1 try setting CSS position to absolute or relative for all a and input tags (Yup, this might force You to rewrite CSS to keep the layout, but isn't it worth it?)
2 make a <a>-tag container:
<div style="z-index:100 etc."><a style="width: 100%; height:100%; z-index:101">
stuff here
</a></div>
This will need some more CSS to make the content look ok. But I expect something like this would solve the problem.
if 1 and 2 aren't helping try them both at once ;)
3 if it still happens You might want to check in details what happens when You click. Bind click and mousedown events to: link on top, container on top, input in the bottom and log them. If You get any of those events for the top link You can try and stop the bubbling at some moment or prevent the event on the input in the bottom.
This would be difficult, but I can help a bit. jQuery would be quite necessary.
Past fixes for this issue for IE include, but are probably not limited to the following list. These may help solve the problem in Android for you.
Put an iframe behind the absolute content. The iframe may obscure those elements for you
When you display your absolute content, hide all of the problem elements with JavaScript
Define the div's in the opposite order
Point number 1 is deemed the most reliable fix for IE, but may not be the nicest fix for you.
Add this to the CSS of every element that creates a problem:
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
Simulate INPUT and A with DIVs.
[PSEUDO JQUERY CODE]
<div href="http://google.com" rel="a">Link</div>
<div class="field">
<div></div>
<input type="text" style="display: none" />
</div>
<script>
$('div[rel=a]).click(function() {
location.href = $(this).attr('href');
});
$('.field > div').click(function() {
$(this).hide();
$('.field > input').show();
});
$('.field > input').blur(function() {
$(this).hide();
$('.field > div').html($(this).val()).show();
});
</script>
IE has this same problem and the solution there is to make sure that every element that is involved in the positioning and even their containers have a z-index applied to them. Basically if you add a z-index to 1 element in the dom then IE gets understands its z position but doesn't understand its z position relative to what its next to and/or over.
container - z-index 0
child (on top container) - z-index 1
child 2 (above all) - z-index 999
Of course this is all based on stupid IE but its worth a try in android also.
Second Try :)
I am not familiar with the android browser at all, but I hope to maybe lead you down a path to solve your issue. Superfish is a javascript menu that has implemented a solution for z-index menu items when they drop down over select boxes in browsers. BgIframe is the js that they use to achieve this. Your answer may lie there, hopefully.

Put the under html in a div and set the display:none using javascript, so then the under content is gone, instead of being clickable and modal.
if you want to solve this problem, first of all you must add z-index to parent wrapper and clearly add z-index to your other elements, solution is that all elements will have a zero point for anderstanding z-index property correctly
I have a DIV that has plenty of child DIVs inside of it. What I want is similar to Firefox's tabs, when you have too many tabs open or the main DIV width is too small, the interface will detect overflow and show a button on the right side to list all hidden tabs. The problem is that I have no idea where to even start looking for help.
Is you main DIV set to overflow:hidden?
If so, you can test its need to overflow by incrementing the scrollLeft property and then querying it to see if it's changed:
function containsTooMuch(el) {
var original = el.scrollLeft++;
return el.scrollLeft-- > original;
}
Googling turns up this:
http://knitinr.blogspot.com/2008/08/javascript-warn-if-overflow.html
looks nice and framework independent.
But maybe somebody comes up with a solution that works with less code.
Oh and guess which popular coding community site screws up the Googe results for
javascript detect overflow
:)
My approach would be to work from how new DIVs get added. Whatever event causes this to happen, I would add a handler to the document that runs a script which checks the size of the various DIVs to ensure that they meet your requirements. If they are too large (or too many), then you hide some of them and add your button with it's display logic.
