Here's what I have: 1000px width div's inside a 100% width container with a background image repeating horizontally.
Live: http://www.baskra.com/scroll
When I resize the browser window (anything less than 1000px should generate a horizontal scroll bar, right?), the scroll bar doesn't come up, as you can see in the image below.
What should I do to make the scrolling bar appear? (Nevermind the slideshow, I'm still working on it.)
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/vBjeg (Not every image is working, but I believe the most important here is the CSS.)
I appreciate all your thoughts!
Remove overflow: hidden from .row

This is the page in question: https://globalstudyuk.com/home-page-test/
You will see that on both desktop and mobile, there is some blank space on the right of the page.
I haven't found any solution in my code based on similar StackOverflow questions.
There should be no horizontal scrollbar, with everything filling the full width of the page.
Place the final .row inside the .container in the footer.
The negative margin on the .row is countered by the padding on the .container class.
Always useful to revisit the Bootstrap docs when things go awry:

I had the same or very similar problem. Making the window more narrow everything seemed to resize correctly, except a horizontal scrollbar appeared at the bottom. When I scrolled with it, white-space appeared on the right side of the page.
Turns out the reason was that on the top of the page I had an element with width 100%. But under that I had another piece of text inside a PRE -section, with lines that were quite wide, wider than the resized window-width.
When I made the window more narrow the top element resized correctly but the PRE -element no longer fit into the horizontal space available, thus creating the horizontal scrollbar.
When I used that scrollbar the browser (of course) did not resize the content on the top of the page, because I was not resizing the window, only scrolling it horizontally.
Therefore the browser did not readjust the top element after the scroll to take 100% of the new visible width and therefore it could only show whitespace to the right of it as I scrolled.
So if you have this type of problem, check out if there are any DOM-elements below the currently visible ones, and whether they might be the cause of the horizontal scrollbar.
My particular problem was solved by making the PRE-section defined like this:
<pre style="width:100%; overflow-x: auto; "
> ...
Now when I make the page too narrow for the PRE-content to fit in horizontally, a horizontal scrollbar appears, but now only under the PRE-section. Scrolling it only scrolls (horizontally) the PRE-section, not the whole page. When I scroll vertically to the top of the page I don't see the PRE-section nor the horizontal scrollbar under it.
I am using :before and :after to create some elemetns outside of my main content block, they have width:100% so they fill the full length of the browser.
Unfortunately they add a scroll bar to the bottom of the screen that I dont want. If I use overflow:hidden, the scroll bar goes but the designs are clipped and I loose the content on the sides of the site.
Any Ideas?
the width of the elements totals 100% + 100% = 200% of the (I am guessing here) body width and then add your main content block width - this is why you get the horizontal scroll bar.
as a general suggestion, post the code on jsfiddle.net so we can have a look and play with it, because it is not possible to help you more without it
There is a cross browser dilemma especially now that safari uses an internal scroll mechanism that floats on top.
When a div with fixed height's content ends up getting larger than the div we need a scroll bar, but the scrollbar takes out some width and thus a horizontal bar is added to. How do we prevent a horizontal scroll even if the content is to wide I want no ability for the user to be able to scroll horizontally.
The CSS3 property overflow-x:hidden, still allows the user to scroll left and right with a trackpad. I want it disabled completely, or a solution that removes the problem of the vertical scroll bar taking width from the div.
Any ideas?
Marvellous
One solution is that you make the vertical scroll bar always display:
overflow-y: scroll
But still the scroll bar's width doesn't stay the same across browsers.
Or you can make a custom scroll bar replacement with div/CSS/JavaScript. Here is a jQuery plugin which seems promising:

Set the image as background should fix your issues
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.
