Having a hard time figuring out why my website scrolls way left in the mobile version!
I have checked all of my widths and even tried some suggestion on here but the site still scrolls to the right of the screen! Made sure common viewport code is in the head tag but to no avail. This is a WordPress site based on the twentysixteen theme
There should be no scrolling left or right on the mobile version of my site.
I've been debugging other css issues and this problem is becoming a major headache. Any clue as to what may be causing this width issue with the mobile css?

Your problem comes from:
.banner {
margin: 0 -600rem;
padding: 0.25rem 600rem;
}
This code tries to break out of the container using the negative margin/padding trick. To fix this, try:
#main {
overflow: hidden;
}
I apologize ahead of time, I am not a skilled web designer at all, and I did do some googling before asking this, but it was complicated as most solutions require creating new divs and stuff, I was hoping there is a simple mod or line I could just add to the existing code for the footer to solve this?
Here is the site: http://ratecitident.com/ See how the black footer is overlapping the ratings box, how can I prevent this, to keep the footer at the base on any size screen? it may not show the problem on your screen, but it does on certain sizes, and on phones.
This is how it looks like on my desktop screen: http://gyazo.com/112b627bb056fc0bc6eb48070939d9b7
Thanks
You can simply add this little bit of code to your CSS:
div#content {
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
This is gonna give you more spacing,because you are forcing the footer to bottom of the content div to 20px.
You can always,target a specific screen using media queries,in this case you must target the iPhone screen,here is some good tutorials about the media queries.

I'm new to web development, so maybe this is an easy issue to resolve, but currently I'm stumped.
I'm making this website - http://www.astranavis.com, and can't get the browser scrollbar to work. (I don't want to have to insert it into the globalContainer div tag, I want the scrollbar to automatically appear in the browser if the browser window is minimized).
I've tried inserting overflow-y:scroll into the body tag in css, and while it creates the actual scrollbar in the browser, it doesn't actually scroll.
Thank you for your help!
Your problem is the position: fixed; in your global container. the way you're centering it is.. strange to say the least. Instead, use margin: 0 auto; to center it horizontally. Also, get rid of the negative margin.
Im makin' a mobile website for a friend - and im using media queries to adjust her website for a more mobile feeling when watching it on any smartphone.
Feels like im done with the webpage - but when i view it on my phones iphone 3gs and htc incredbile S its like that you can scroll 2-3 pixels horizontally.
Some element is messing with this and im growing gray hair since i can't really find out which it is.
how do i solve this?

Had a quick look with the inspector in Chrome and it looks like it's this property:
div.entry {
padding: 0em 1em;
}
Line 106 of style-responsive.css - it's pushing the content just a few pixels wide, changing it to be padding: 0 0.8em; worked for me.
Oh, and just for the record, it's scrolling horizontally, not vertically!
Late, but for future reference.
I would like to point out the way to go searching the cause for the problem.
Open the site using Google Chrome Device Mode. Then check to see that the problem exists there (this solution relies on the problem to show up in the Device mode). Then start setting "display: none" to the elements one by one starting from larger elements like header, content container and check after hiding each element if the unwanted scrollability has dissapeared. This way you can track down the cause of the problem.
I had the same problem and tried to identify the cause at first by looking at the CSS code of every single element, wasted a lot of time and didn't find the cause. Probably a browser can render a page better that a human reading CSS...
The jQuery time-picker plugin that I wrote uses a div as the containing block for the list of times, and on Mobile Safari there are no scrollbars to indicate that there are more available times than are visible. I know about using two fingers to scroll within the div (on the iPad at least), but that only works if the user knows that there is more content to scroll to, and there's no indication that there is. So, my question: Has anyone been able to get scrollbars to show in Mobile Safari? How'd you do it?
Assuming you are using iOS5.0 or later, I think you have to use the following:
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: auto (this is default style)
auto: One finger scrolling without momentum.
The other available style is
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch
touch: Native-style scrolling. Specifying this style has the effect of creating a staking context (like opacity, masks, and transforms).
Using touch mode, the scrollbar will be visible when the user touches and scrolls, but disappear when not in use. If you want to make it always visible, then this old post will help you:
::-webkit-scrollbar {
-webkit-appearance: none;// you need to tweak this to make it available..
width: 8px;
}
Another Piece of Code for Thumb by #BJMC:
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
border-radius: 4px;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.5);
box-shadow: 0 0 1px rgba(255,255,255,.5);
}

Edit: with respect to this demo's behaviour, you should use jQuery because it will help you a lot, $(document).ready(function(){//your code with timer}) code with timer will need to reset the CSS property to normal after desired time(let's say 5 sec.)
For the demo( that you have described), this is initiated with the onhover event, please check this fiddle I have created for that.
That reproduces the results in a desktop browser, and will also work in iPad, just add your timer code to suit your requirements.
Regarding the original question: the best solution to have scrollbars would be to use an external library (already recommended iScroll is good, but even jQuery UI itself contains scrollbars). But displaying ever-present scrollbars might deviate from the general iOS UI (see below).
Alternative would be to indicate with other GUI elements that the content is scrollable. Consider small gradient fields in the end of the element (the content fades to background there) that suggest that content continues when touched and scrolled.
In iOS5 overflow: scroll functions as expected, i.e it allows the the div to be scrolled up/down with one finger within the area specified by the dimensions of the div. But scrollable div doesn't have scrollbars. This is a bit different from the general UI in iOS(5). Generally there are no scrollbars also, but they appear when user starts scrolling a content area and fade out again after the touch event has stopped.
To answer Sam Hasler comment above.
Nicescroll 3 is a jquery plugin that does just what you want with fade in/out effect and work in all major Mobile/Tablet/Desktop browsers.
Live demo
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("html").niceScroll({styler:"fb",cursorcolor:"#000"});
$("#divexample1").niceScroll();//or styles/options below
$("#divexample2").niceScroll("#wrapperexample2",{cursorcolor:"#0F0",boxzoom:true});
$("#divexample3").niceScroll("#divexample3 iframe",{boxzoom:true});
});
If you want to have the scroll to be always visible,
Do not set -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch
then set custom style for scrollbar
::-webkit-scrollbar {
-webkit-appearance: none;// you need to tweak this to make it available..
width: 8px;
}
You loss the momentum effect, but scrollbar will always be there.
(tested under iPhone 4/ iOS 7)
Mobile safari, as far as I have seen won't support scrollbars.
The best plugin I could find to get the job done is this.
Its Demos are available here.
It also has multiple predefined skins to suit your application.
here's a sample of what you'll get -
By convention, scrollbars are not used on iOS.
For a div with overflow: scroll, the only native way to scroll is with two fingers.
You might take a look at iScroll, a JavaScript library which handles touch events and implements single-finger momentum scrolling (what users generally expect in native apps) for divs.
until ios5 you could not scroll internal divs - so you probably are not seeing a scroll bar when you try to scroll because there isn't one.
I haven't tested on ios5 but supposedly scrolling internal divs now works.
If it isn't an internal div then you should be able to see the scroll bar when it is scrolling only - this isn't just on ios anymore - lion has gotten rid of all native scroll bars too. You can only see them when a window is scrolling or when the window is first loaded.
