How to make scrollbar invisible in Firefox - css

I'm looking for a way to make the scrollbar invisible in Firefox. That is, you shouldn't be able to see it, but you should still be able to scroll. For other browsers, this works:
::-webkit-scrollbar {display: none;}
However, it seems that this feature has been removed from Firefox. Surely someone has found a workaround just for Firefox?

If you want to hide scroll bar, you will need the CSS
<body style="overflow:hidden;"> ...</body>
I am wondering, if scroll bar will not be available to your page, how your content is going to be read fully. By the way, this CSS works will all elements like <div></div> etc. too.
For scrolling you will need to add scroll event. Take a reference from here for scroll event handling.

Cross browser alignment issues on wrapper

Here is the link to the website I am talking about.
My problem is that when you navigate between the different pages in the main navigation, the main wrapper does not align on the different pages I have used. So if you are on the home page and you click on "WMH" in the main navigation bar the whole page jumps to the left by about 8px.
This creates a jitter between pages that my client really doesn't like. I used some padding-left and padding-right in css to align it correctly. Unfortunately when I get it pixel perfect in Firefox, it is wrong in Chrome and Safari. If I get it pixel perfect in chrome, it jitters in Firefox. This is very irritating. I don't want to have to write separate styles for Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari unless it really is the only solution.
Thanks for your feedback.

The browser scrollbar looks to be causing this. You can force a scrollbar to always appear which would solve the issue. Add this to your CSS:
html {overflow-y: scroll;}
You would also probably need to remove the padding that you tried to fix the problem with originally once the above style is in your CSS.

IE7 is breaking my menu

I am pretty good with css, but can't figure out why my menu is being destroyed by IE7. Looks perfect in all other browsers I tested. First image link is correct. Second image link is how it looks in IE7.

Here is the page: http://www.asingularcreation.com/calls-to-artists.php. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You do not need to float (or clear) the menu container. It looks like it is causing IE7 to calculate the width incorrectly which forces the menu to flow down, underneath the sub-menu.
<div style="height:40px; line-height:40px; float:left; clear:both"><!--Main Menu --></div>
Removing the float and clear properties fixes the display in IE7 and also still works in Chrome and IE8 and IE9.
There is a lot of inline styles in the example page so I would also look at moving the CSS into an external file if possible.

I can't figure out why a scroll bar appears

In my first attempt at a responsive web design I have run into a curious problem. When I resize my browser down to 615px width or less, a horizontal scroll bar appears. I'm not sure what element is causing this. I tried putting a border around each element using
* {
border:1px solid #FFF;
}
to help me visualize where the edges of the elements were but I don't see any borders extending beyond the window boundaries.
Can someone take a look at my site and give me some insight? http://www.ritualbliss.ca
Thanks!
Edit: So I only get the scroll bar in Firefox. Chrome works fine and the desktop version of Safari but on my iPhone it scrolls horizontally.

Devin,
Try using a tool like Firebug for Firefox, IE Developer Tools, or the Chrome Developer tools. I'm sure Safari and Opera have similar tools, as well. These things will give you the ability to highlight and view the various properties of every visible HTML element on the page, including Javascript and CSS information.
One other thing to think about is not using the * selector in your CSS. I am not sure why you would want to put a border around every single element on your page because to me, that would not look visually appealing. The border style attribute adds the thickness of the border to whichever dimensions it is applied to. So, in your case, every element in your page has 2px added to both its height and width, even the "html" element. This could be why you have the scroll bar but can't tell where the extra pixels are.
Also, do you have any CSS styles that set a width or min-width to 617 pixels? Or a combination of elements that share the same area and add up to 617 pixels? Maybe a table with columns that are not shrinkable?
There is a lot to look at and your URL looks like it's probably porno or something so I cannot go there at work and check it out...
Good Luck,
Matt
Edit
I fooled around with firebug for a few minutes and agree with Ruben that handling the overflow would be a good idea. Although I think the setting should be on the body instead of #content.
Try this:
body { overflow-x: hidden; }
Like Ruben's answer it is hiding overflow, but you can still get the vertical scrollbar if people REALLY narrow down their browser.
can you please warn us when it's nsfw :s
use this css:
#content { overflow: hidden }
not the best solution but you have to use firebug to find out what's sticking out
padding and borders increase the width of your element too
css3 box-sizing:border-box solved this one.

iframe scroll background issue in IE8

I'm having problem with the standard iframe background and scrolling (IE8).
I load a standard iframe with scrollbar that contains a long list. The problem occours when I'm scrolling to to the bottom of the list and then continues to scroll with the wheel. It looks like the background continues out of the iFrame and into the main area of the screen. It's hard to explain this, but look at the picture.
The only thing that seems to work is to but display: none on the iFrame. Is there a way around this. I've tried overflow: hidden but it doesn't seems to work.
another question. what's the correct way in css to set display: none into a iframe?!

Problems with div vertical scrollbars on iPad

When a user perform a search on my website I want to show the result in a small div with vertical scrollbars instead of that the user need to scroll the full page. That works perfect in all browsers BUT I get problems on the iPad. I can see that the search result doesn't fit into the div but no scroll bar is showing up on the iPad. Also when I try to scroll inside the div the full page is scrolled instead. Is there a solution to get this working?
HTML AND CSS:
<div class="searchResult">
//Here I show the search result
</div>
div.searchResult
{
height: 540px;
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
I believe the answer is that you cannot scroll unless you use the two-finger methods. However if you look at the last link, there is a workaround.

iScroll is the jQuery plugin that tahdhaze09 mentioned. And to be more specific:
iScroll is evolving and adding many new features to the basic
scrolling functionality. If all you need is the plain old scroller for
mobile webkit, you should really use iscroll-lite.js instead.
iscroll-lite.js is part of the iScroll package. It looks as if it will solve the one-finger scroll problem quite nicely.
For some odd reason changing the div to a span works on an iPad.
