I have a div where content is appended periodically to it via query's append(). As the content gets longer, it will eventually overflow the div. I want no scrollbars to appear when overflowed, but still have the content scroll up to show the new content below.
Is this possible? When I use overflow-x: hidden no scrollbar appears but the content is hidden.
If the size of the container is fixed, you could place the content inside an absolutely positioned wrap like so:
<div class="container">
<div class="wrap">
<p>bah</p>
</div>
</div>
and css:
.container {
y-overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
}
.wrap {position:absolute; bottom: 0; left:0;right:0;
}

append() will add to content at the end. You may want to prepend() new content, so the data get added before the old content.
As for overflow, you can set it to scroll so that scrollbars appear if necessary, or hidden so no scrollbars will appear but the content won't be visible. Otherwise you can set it to visible so it will be visible but the scrollbars won't appear.
Do you want the overflowed content to be visible? If so set the overflow: visible otherwise set overflow: hidden (because you don't want scrollbars).
Anyway with this you wan't be able to scroll the content. If you need to scroll you have to build your own scroll system, adding event handler to your container.
If you have each appended content in your "#container" div wrapped in a seperate ".append" div you can do something like:
var pos = $('#container div:last').position();
$('#container').scrollTop(pos.top);
Is this helpfull?

I am trying to create a "document viewer" of sorts using html and css. I'm wanting the end result to look somewhat of a pdf when viewed in an iframe with no border.
I have a parent div setup with a class of paper. This has some box shadow and other styles attached to it.
<div class="paper">
</div>
Within this I have children divs setup with a class of page. This is where all the content sits for the page.
<div class="page">
</div>
My problem is when the content gets too long for a page and you scroll to the next "page" it all mixes together and looks like junk. I have attached a code pen to further assist in being able to visually see what I am struggling with.

You can change your page class in CSS with this:
.page {
height: 100%;
margin-bottom: 15px;
padding: 20px;
display: table;
text-align: center;
}
What is the problem?
If the content in your pages gets too long, it overflows the height end kind of "bleeds" on the next page.
What to do?
You should set a fixed height of 100vh to your paper
Then, tell it not to expand with: overflow: scroll
Use min-height to set the height of your page, instead of height: it will naturally expand the height of the pages instead as you content grows
Finally, just in case, set overflow: hidden to page
Take the following example:
https://jsfiddle.net/atg5m6ym/5079/
Here, you have to scroll down a bit to see the message "Hello!". I also animated a div to move down beyond the screen:
$("div").animate({top: '3000px'}, 6000);
You can see how the scrollbar changes and we now have a much larger page to scroll through.
Now, I want users to be able to scroll down to the "Hello!" text, if the text is beyond the user's screen. However, I don't want the div to extend the vertical scrollbar once it reaches the bottom of the screen. Rather, I want the div to continue moving down beyond the screen, with the scroll bar remaining unchanged. This way, the scrollbar could not follow it.
Doing "overflow-y: hidden" would prevent users from scrolling downwards on their own choice and reading the "Hello!" Is there anything I can do to accomplish both of these using JS (preferably jQuery) or CSS?
EDIT: I still want the div to exist, so I don't want to fade it out. If I had a div that returns afterward or travels in an elliptical orbit, I would like it to still reappear when it reenters the screen, but not to affect the scrollbar.
This will make div travel to whatever the Y position of the paragraph is, and after that gets faded out:
$(document).ready(function() {
var p_pos = $("p").offset().top;
$("div").animate({top: p_pos}, 6000).fadeOut();
});
Alright, try the following:
<div id="everything">
<div id="orb"></div>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<br>
<p>
Hello!
</p>
</div>
And in your css:
#everything {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 800px;
max-height: 800px;
overflow-y: hidden;
background-color: #ccc;
}
Make sure to animate $("#orb") instead of just $("div") (and rename it in your css.
There you go. Just add to the body and set the div position to
body {
overflow: hidden
}
div {
bottom: 0;
}

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;
I have a big div with lots of items that I have moving to marginLeft='120%' on an event. I used overflow:hidden to keep it from showing a horizontal scrollbar. But the webpage vertical scrollbar length gets bigger when it moves to the right. I want the div to disappear off the screen(I have it HTML5 transitioning when it does that) but not affect the rest of the page. What am I doing wrong?
The content is not actually moving to the right because the container isn't wide enough so the default action is to drop the content to the next line, hence the vertical scroll.
Try adding another div within the wrapping div with a large width, that way the content will have enough room to actually move to the right.
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="inner">
<div id="content"></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS...
#wrapper {
overflow: hidden;
}
#inner {
width: 9000px;
}
I have a container div element that has overflow:hidden on it. Unfortunately this property is required on it because of the way the site is made.
Inside this div it's all the site content, including some tooltips. These tooltips are displayed with jQuery when you mouse over a link or something.
The problem is that some of these tooltips will display partially hidden because of the overflow thing above, because they are positioned outside the container div...
Is there any way to be able to show a specific element from inside this container, even if it's out of its boundaries? Maybe a javascript solution?
the html looks like this:
<div style="overflow:hidden; position:relative;">
the main content
<div style="position:absolute;left:-100px;top:-50px;"> the tooltip thing </div>
</div>
try this:
<div style="position:relative;">
<div style="overflow:hidden; position: relative; width: {any}; height: {any};">the main content<div>
<div style="position:absolute;left:-100px;top:-50px;"> the tooltip thing </div>
</div>
just place your main content to another div inside the main div and give provided css to hide the content if overflowing...
CSS works like a box, and sometimes, you have elements "flowing out". Setting overflow: hidden on the main element hides contents that flow out of this box.
Consider the following:
HTML
<div class="box">This box has a height and a width. This means that if there is too much content to be displayed within the assigned height, there will be an overflow situation. If overflow is set to hidden then any overflow will not be visible.</div>
<p>This content is outside of the box.</p>
CSS
.box {
border: 1px solid #333333;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
}`
This outputs the following:
Note that the rest of the texts that overflow are hidden.
if overflow:hidden is to contain floats, then there are other ways that would allow tooltips to not be cut off. look foe clearfix:after
