I'm trying to style up the scrollbar so that it's positioned inside the scrollable area (container with scrollbar), effectively with margin just on the top & bottom of the bar itself.
In the example image, notice how the text flows past the bar, and how the image is positioned above it. Is this achievable?
Note: I'm aware the browser support for these things isn't the greatest, most likely will just have to use a polyfill for a bit.
Edit to clarify one thing: If the user were to scroll down on the example, the text should be visible up to the top edge of the image, if that wasn't clear.
For anyone else who needs this answer:
main::-webkit-scrollbar-button:start,
main::-webkit-scrollbar-button:end {
height: 6vh;
}

I have a container on my site that is 100% of the screen width and has its own scrollbar using overflow: auto. The standard scrollbar does not display on my site and I use this instead because there is another layer behind the main layer of my site that also has its own scrollbar (you can view my site here and click a blog post to see what I mean).
I have a blue bar that I want to be fixed to the top of the screen. This is easy enough in terms of positioning in that way with position: fixed however the width of the bar needs to be 100% of the screen width and I'm finding that the bar will overlap the scrollbar that is applied to its parent container.
Here is a jsFiddle showing what I mean: http://jsfiddle.net/xUTR2/1/
I've thought about just offsetting the bar to the left based on the width of the scrollbar, but then I decided that I couldn't rely on estimating the width of the scrollbar across different browsers, and that would leave a gap if there were no scrollbar.
Is there an obvious way to force the scrollbar to render ontop?
As I can't comment yet, im forced to give an answer.
If im correct you would like to get the top blue bar in a fixed position as in visible while scrolling down.
personally i would make seperate containers
something like
<div id='page'>
<div id='bluebar'></div>
<div id='content'></div>
</div>
Demo can be found here ( http://limpid.nl/lab/css/fixed/header )
you can do this by jquery easily, at some event.
$("body").load(function () {
$('scrollable container').css('overflow-y', 'auto');
});
try keeping the blue bar and other page content in separate containers, i think it will solve the problem for you.
This is impossible to achieve in a clean/robust kind of way because anything you position as fixed is done so within the context of the main browser (and within any scrollbar it has), but because you removed the main body scrollbar (and you must because you cannot z-index position on top of it) it doesn't think anything is there, yet you have this div below it so the only options you have are to use fixed margin and height for the two elements or use some javascript method to determine the correct width of your top div.
I'm trying to add some decorative flourishes on a page footer with :after pseudo-element.
The problem is that depending on my css code the decorative flourish element(fixed size, uses background image) either gets clipped by the footer or ends up extending the page height and adds vertical scroll bars.
What I need is the decorative element to start at the footer top border(in other words where the page content ends) and clip at page bottom(or if screen space allows, don't clip at all).
I'm able to provide a link to the code later if my question isn't clear enough.
EDIT: In other words, I'd like to know if there is any sane way to prevent vertical scrollbars from appearing when the bottom edge of a specific absolutely positioned element goes over the page bottom.
EDIT2: The site is currently available at http://www.ikimark.fi/ikimark_uusi/site
The decoration in question is the right bottom corner flourish image. I'm editing the site today so the code may change.
Please provide a link to your project and try using position:absolute;z-index:9999;
EDIT:
well I'm still confused about exactly what you are asking for. If you want flourish image not to cover too much space below the contents and fill up the total height of the footer only then please add overflow: hidden; at your wrap div. And if you don't want this then please can you explain?
Try setting an absolute height on the bottom div with overflow-y: hidden as follows:
<div id="footer" style="height: 4em; overflow-y: hidden"></div>
I am working on a site design in which the main content area is centered via margin: auto and has a fixed width.
I would like to place another element slightly outside of this fixed width (off to the right, in my case) without affecting the overflow scrolling of the center content area.
Perhaps this is better explained with an example: http://jsfiddle.net/rxje6/
In this example, try shrinking the bottom right pane and notice how the bottom scroll bar appears immediately after the orange goes out of view. Although this is the default behavior, this is not what I want. I prefer the scroll bar to only appear once the gray area is obscured and the orange to be hidden out of view.
I've tried absolute positioning, but the scroll bar still appears. Using overflow: hidden on the primary navigation div works, but simply chops off the overflowing orange.
Any help is much appreciated!
P.S. Stackoverflow's tag helper seems to be down at the moment, so I'm placing this under css for now since I can't think of any others.
One method is to wrap everything in a new div:
#container {
overflow-x: hidden;
min-width: 400px
}
See: http://jsfiddle.net/thirtydot/rxje6/1/
I have a div that is positioned:absolute, this div extends outside the bounds of my site wrapper as it just contains a background image for a slider and doesn't need to be seen all the time. The problem is I cannot work out how to stop this div triggering the scrollbar. I have tried different combinations of overflow and position and cannot work it out.
If you inspect the element with firebug, just place it over the shadow behind the slider and you will see the div in question. You notice the scrollbar kicks in as soon as the browser bounds touches it.

Can anyone let me know how to stop the scrollbar appearing for the shadow div?

It is the size of the DIV. When I inspect it using Chrome, the CSS shows that the container DIV was set to 520px width and the problematic DIV was set to 733px, so it actually exceeds the 980px width center area. Unless you want the shadow to disappear, I suggest moving it a bit to the left and make the div left to it smaller.
You can use the CSS overflow-x:hidden on the body element.
Other more complicated way that comes to mind is using jQuery to detect the size of the window and resize the problematic div according to the window's size.
Firstly, thanks to those that commented.
I have come up with a solution that allows me to keep the layout the same while still adhering to the document width. What I did was create a #wrap2 inside the main wrapper which has a width of 100% (full width of browser window).
#wrap2 {background: url(../css_img/slider-bg.png) no-repeat center 317px; }
The trick to this was making sure the image position was set to center. This means the image would also remain relative to the content when resizing the browser. The way I made the shadow line up behind the slider was to add blank pixels to the left, so the image ended up being about 1200px wide, this pushed shadow part right. Because it's all blank pixels it only added about 1kb. If someone thinks there is a better solution let me know.
I seem to be missing a horizontal scroll bar on this page, http://www.animefushigi.com/
If you make your browser window skinner, half the page will be cut off but there will be no scroll bar.
I believe the main content width should be 1024 px before the need of a scrollbar
because the wrapper div does not have a stable min-width(and for browser which not support min-width, such as ie6, there is a child div .wrapper has a stable width in this case, so it will be ok,too ),which should be setted.
e.g.
//add css
#master_wrapper{min-width:1000px;}
It looks like overflow:hidden is used to clear floats in a couple of places. If you get rid of it on #master_wrapper then the horizontal scrollbar will return. However this will cause that element to collapse to a height of 0 and making this image disappear from your page. You can however rearrange your background images using the html for one of them to sort that issue out.
