When I style my element with overflow: auto, the text becomes blurry.
Why does this happen and how do I prevent it from happening?

I have tried changing font-smoothing, -webkit-font-smoothing:

.iati-list-table {
overflow-x: auto;
overflow-y: visible;
}
The scroll bar appears when I use overflow-visible and when i use overflowy-hidden the tooptip is croped.
how do I make in such a way that overflow x is auto and overflow y is normal(no scroll bar and tooltips are not cropped
)
I think you need to read this and figure it out.
It will help you out:-CSS overflow-x: visible; and overflow-y: hidden; causing scrollbar issue
If you are using visible for either overflow-x or overflow-y and something other than visible for the other, the visible value is interpreted as auto.
It seems that I can use both these to hide the horizontal scrollbar of an element:
overflow-x: hidden;
scrollbar-width: none;
Which one is the better solution for hiding the horizontal scrollbar?
overflow-x: hidden will clip any content inside a parent element (say the page) that has a width that overflows out of the parent and prevent the user from scrolling horizontally. Source
scrollbar-width: none hides the scrollbar however the content will still be scroll able. Source
So it depends upon what you are trying to achieve.
With
scrollbar-width: none;
the scrollbar is still present and you can still scroll if there is overflow, if you want to disable scrolling at all use
overflow: hidden;
In this example...
HTML
<body>
<div>
<div>foo bar</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS
body, html, div {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
div div {
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
}
Why does overflow: hidden cause a vertical scrollbar? Additionally, why is this height not attributed to anything on the page? It's like an invisible margin.
The 100% height of all the elements is intentional. In theory, that should cause the inner-most div to expand to meet the viewport. And it does! ...so long as overflow: hidden is not there, Why?
The extra height is the same height as the height difference between vertical-align: baseline, and vertical-align: bottom. The "descender line". That's where the seemingly random "5 extra pixels" comes from. If the font size is 10 times as large, this gap will also be 10 times as large.
Also, it seems that when overflow: hidden is not there, the inline-block element has its baseline as the same baseline of its last line of text.
This leads me to believe that overflow: hidden forces the baseline of the entire inline-block element to be at the bottom of the element. Even though there is no text there, the parent of the inline-block element reserves space for the descender line. In the example given in the question, it cannot be easily seen since the parent of the inline-block element has height: 100%. So, instead, that extra space reserved for the descender line overflows out of that parent div.
Why is this space still there, even though there's no text? I think that's because the inline-block creates an inline formatting context, which is what causes this space. Were this element to be a block, it would only create this inline formatting context once it encounters an inline element or text.
This is just a theory, but it seems to explain it. It also explains why #Jonny Synthetic's answer works: adding overflow: hidden to the parent hides that extra descender line.
Thanks to #Hashem Qolami for the jsbins that gave me this theory.
Adding overflow: hidden to the parent div wasn't an option for me, and also because of my HTML's structure it wasn't working.
However, I noticed thanks to #Tony Gustafsson's comment in the OP that this does fix the problem:
div div {
vertical-align: bottom;
}
Items with a height of 100% need to have overflow: hidden as well. The first css rule only targets the outside div, the overflow hidden is being applied to the inside div.
Jsfiddle with this CSS and it worked fine:
body, html, div {
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding:0px;
overflow: hidden;
}
div div {
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
}
I have a div with a scollbar as a result of the CSS below. However, when there is no need to scroll, the bar is still there. There is no slider/arrows, but an emtpy bar is just there. Is there a way to only show the bar if the content overflows? Thanks.
#id{
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
use
overflow: auto;
then overflow will only be displayed if it actually overflows
auto The behavior of auto isn’t specified in any detail in the CSS2.1
specification. In existing implementations it provides scrollbar(s)
when necessary, but it doesn’t show scrollbars unless the content
overflows the element’s box.

I have an arbitrary amount of text that will be displayed in a confined space.
How can I trim the output so that whatever is "beyond" the box is not displayed, or how can I force the box to create a vertical scroll bar?
For HTML:
<div id="smallBoxWithLotsOfText">There is way more text in here than what
I have typed. I mean, this text is long. There is lots of it.
You can't even imagine how long this text is gonna get. No joking.
It's long; it's very, very long. It keeps going, and going, and going.
It's the Energizer Bunny of text. Like, seriously dude. It's crazy.
Absolutely crazy.
</div>
Try CSS:
#smallBoxWithLotsOfText {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
overflow: auto;
}
The height property tells the box how high to be. The overflow property tells the box to add a scroll bar when the contents get bigger, but not to always have a scrollbar (like scroll does).
You can see this in action.
usually 'overflow: auto' should work if there is a set height/width. You can force a scroll bar with 'overflow: scroll'. You can hide anything with 'overflow: hidden;'
The key to overflow with CSS styles is the height and width have to be determined by the browser in order for it to know when to start overflowing.
The overflow property. You can set the value to hidden to hide the data and scroll to scroll the data.
<div class="text">this is some text that would be very long...</div>
//Hidden
.text
{
overflow: hidden;
width: 50px;
height: 50px
}
//Scroll
.text
{
overflow: scroll;
width: 50px;
height: 50px
}
Take a look at overflow. overflow: hidden clips content, overflow:Scroll adds a scrollbar.
How can I trim the output so that
whatever is "beyond" the box is not
displayed
Use overflow: hidden
How can I force the box to create a
vertical scroll bar?
Use overflow: auto. To use this, though, make sure you have a width/height specified on the box
You may try using ellipsis by adding the following in CSS:
.truncate {
width: 250px;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
