I have a website here.
Viewed in a desktop browser, the black menu bar properly extends only to edge of the window, since the body has overflow-x:hidden.
In any mobile browser, whether Android or iOS, the black menu bar displays its full width, which brings whitespace on the right of the page. As far as I can tell, this whitespace isn't even a part of the html or body tags.
Even if I set the viewport to a specific width in the <head>:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1100, initial-scale=1">
The site expands to the 1100px but still has the whitespace beyond the 1100.
What am I missing? How do I keep the viewport to 1100 and cut off the overflow?
Creating a site wrapper div inside the <body> and applying the overflow-x:hidden to the wrapper instead of the <body> or <html> fixed the issue.
It appears that browsers that parse the <meta name="viewport"> tag simply ignore overflow attributes on the html and body tags.
Note: You may also need to add position: relative to the wrapper div.
try
html, body {
overflow-x:hidden
}
instead of just
body {
overflow-x:hidden
}
VictorS's comment on the accepted answer deserves to be it's own answer because it's a very elegant solution that does, indeed work. And I'll add a tad to it's usefulness.
Victor notes adding position:fixed works.
body.modal-open {
overflow: hidden;
position: fixed;
}
And indeed it does. However, it also has a slight side-affect of essentially scrolling to the top. position:absolute resolves this but, re-introduces the ability to scroll on mobile.
If you know your viewport (my plugin for adding viewport to the <body>) you can just add a css toggle for the position.
body.modal-open {
// block scroll for mobile;
// causes underlying page to jump to top;
// prevents scrolling on all screens
overflow: hidden;
position: fixed;
}
body.viewport-lg {
// block scroll for desktop;
// will not jump to top;
// will not prevent scroll on mobile
position: absolute;
}
I also add this to prevent the underlying page from jumping left/right when showing/hiding modals.
body {
// STOP MOVING AROUND!
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll !important;
}
As #Indigenuity states, this appears to be caused by browsers parsing the <meta name="viewport"> tag.
To solve this problem at the source, try the following:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1">.
In my tests this prevents the user from zooming out to view the overflowed content, and as a result prevents panning/scrolling to it as well.
This is the simplest solution to solve horisontal scrolling in Safari.
html, body {
position:relative;
overflow-x:hidden;
}
body{
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden !important;
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
works on iOS9
Keep the viewport untouched: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
Assuming you would like to achieve the effect of a continuous black bar to the right side: #menubar shouldn't exceed 100%, adjust the border radius such that the right side is squared and adjust the padding so that it extends a little more to the right. Modify the following to your #menubar:
border-radius: 30px 0px 0px 30px;
width: 100%; /*setting to 100% would leave a little space to the right */
padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px; /*fills the little gap*/
Adjusting the padding to 10px of course leaves the left menu to the edge of the bar, you can put the remaining 40px to each of the li, 20px on each side left and right:
.menuitem {
display: block;
padding: 0px 20px;
}
When you resize the browser smaller, you would find still the white background: place your background texture instead from your div to body. Or alternatively, adjust the navigation menu width from 100% to lower value using media queries. There are a lot of adjustments to be made to your code to create a proper layout, I'm not sure what you intend to do but the above code will somehow fix your overflowing bar.
Creating a site wrapper div inside the body and applying the overflow->x:hidden to the wrapper INSTEAD of the body or html fixed the issue.
This worked for me after also adding position: relative to the wrapper.
No previous single solution worked for me, I had to mix them and got the issue fixed also on older devices (iphone 3).
First, I had to wrap the html content into an outer div:
<html>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">... old html goes here ...</div>
</body>
</html>
Then I had to apply overflow hidden to the wrapper, because overflow-x was not working:
#wrapper {
overflow: hidden;
}
and this fixed the issue.
Adding a wrapper <div> around the entirety of your content will indeed work. While semantically "icky", I added an div with a class of overflowWrap right inside the body tag and then set set my CSS like this:
html, body, .overflowWrap {
overflow-x: hidden;
}
Might be overkill now, but works like a charm!
I encountered the same problem with Android devices but not iOS devices. Managed to resolve by specifying position:relative in the outer div of the absolutely positioned elements (with overflow:hidden for outer div)
I solved the issue by using overflow-x:hidden; as follows
#media screen and (max-width: 441px){
#end_screen { (NOte:-the end_screen is the wrapper div for all other div's inside it.)
overflow-x: hidden;
}
}
structure is as follows
1st div end_screen >> inside it >> end_screen_2(div) >> inside it >> end_screen_2.
'end_screen is the wrapper of end_screen_1 and end_screen_2 div's
As subarachnid said overflow-x hidden for both body and html worked

easiest way to solve this , add
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0">
I had tried many ways from replies in this topic, mostly works but got some side-effect like if I use overflow-x on body,html it might slow/freeze the page when users scroll down on mobile.
use position: fixed on wrapper/div inside the body is good too, but when I have a menu and use Javascript click animated scroll to some section, It's not working.
So, I decided to use touch-action: pan-y pinch-zoom on wrapper/div inside the body. Problem solved.
I've just been working on this for a few hours, trying various combinations of things from this and other pages. The thing that worked for me in the end was to make a site wrapper div, as suggested in the accepted answer, but to set both overflows to hidden instead of just the x overflow. If I leave overflow-y at scroll, I end up with a page that only scrolls vertically by a few pixels and then stops.
#all-wrapper {
overflow: hidden;
}
Just this was enough, without setting anything on the body or html elements.
Setting overflow-x to 'clip' instead of 'hidden' also prevents unwanted scrolling on touch-devices, with wacom-pens, with shift-scrollwheel or any other programmatic scrolling. On the downside, it also prevents programmatic scrolling with javascript.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/overflow#clip
The only way to fix this issue for my bootstrap modal (containing a form) was to add the following code to my CSS:
.modal {
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: auto!important;
}
step 1: set position to fixed to the element that goes out from the viewport. In my case it is:
.nav-links {
position:fixed;
right:0px;
background-color:rgba(0,0,0, 0.8);
height:85vh;
top:8vh;
display:flex;
flex-direction:column;
align-items: center;
width:40%;
transform: translateX(100%);
transition: transform 0.5s ease-in;
}
Step2: add a css property to body and html as:
body, html{
overflow-x: hidden;
}
I didn't add any wrapper. Only these two steps worked for me. The project I am working on is an angular project.
The following works
body,
.innerbodywrapper{
overflow-x: hidden;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
}
Solution that properly work for mobile device with flex positionning top :
html,body {
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
and in web page :
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=0">
Don't forget to positioning this css in the different webpage main divs :
height : auto !important;
html, body{ overflow-x: hidden; position: relative; } Just try like this where you have added the overflow-hidden.

I have the html, body {height: 100%;} thing to (among other things) do a div {position: relative; top: 80%}.
Now I want some padding/margin/space after that div, right before the page's bottom edge.
The most straightforward thing I came up with, div {margin-bottom: 3em;}, works in Chrome, but not in Firefox (as far as I can tell, the margin starts where the body ends, at "100%", which is way above the div's bottom edge).
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/xvrhmLsv/3/
A workaround might be a "media query height cascade", but I'd very much like to avoid that; plus I remember running into this behaviour more than once... Ideas?
How about using a border to get the effect you want? e.g.
div {
border-bottom: 3em solid white;
}
The following is the CSS taken from your fiddle :
html,
body {
height: 100%;
}
body {
padding-bottom: 3em; /*does not work*/
}
div {
background: red;
height:100%;
position: relative;
top: 80%;
margin-bottom: 3em; /*does not work in Firefox, works in Chrome*/
}
and the html is :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head lang="en">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
(scroll down)
<div></div>
</body>
</html>
Actually, both padding-bottom and margin-bottom works in Chrome and also in Firefox.
The elements html and body have a height defined to 100%, therefore their height are constrained by the height of the window. The element <div> has a top property set at 80%. The div overflows the body, and therefore, the padding-bottom you set on the body is hidden by the div.
The difference comes from the margin-bottom set on the div. This margin is taken into account by both browsers, but Chrome scrolls down the the element including his bottom margin, whereas Firefox scrolls down to the bottom offset of the element's box only.
I updated the fiddle with some opacity on the div, and borders on the elements.
EDIT : Firefox appear to not scroll down to the margin-bottom of the overflowing div because of the use of top. If, instead of top: 80%; I put margin-top: 80%; the margin-bottom is taken into account in the scroll.
See fiddle. In this last fiddle, the only change I made is to replace top by margin-top.
I have been trying for days to center a position:fixed element, a lot of solutions all around the web have been found and yet, either due to inefficiency or my own inexperience, none of them worked.
The scenario is as follows; I want to make an image visor, whenever you click a image a fixed div is made visible, holding said image, this is actually done via JavaScript.
The problem occurs when I want to center the div, no matter which resolution you are using.
#galleryimage{
position:fixed;
z-index:200;
display:none;
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
}
#galleryimage img{
max-width:100%;
max-height:100%;
}
The images' width and height are unknown variables, I am not experienced enough with JS to handle it, so I wanted to do it with pure CSS. However, I never could get it centered.
Margin just won't work, and the formula with negative margin won't either, as I do not know the width and height variables of these images.
Any solution?
I would use JavaScript + jQuery for this, to make life easier. Here's a good starting point for you:
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<style>
#galleryimage{
position:fixed;
z-index:200;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
opacity: 0;
}
#galleryimage img{
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
}
</style>
<body>
<div id="galleryimage">
<img src="" />
</div>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
loadGalleryImage('your_image_name.jpg');
});
function loadGalleryImage(src){
$("#galleryimage img").on('load', function(){
$(this).css({marginTop: -($(this).height()/2), marginLeft: -($(this).width()/2)});
$("#galleryimage").animate({opacity:1}, 200);
$("#galleryimage img").off('load');
});
$("#galleryimage img").attr('src', src);
}
function hideGalleryImage(){
$("#galleryimage").animate({opacity:0}, 200);
}
</script>
</html>
This uses a few techniques. In CSS the image is absolutely positioned and placed at the 50% point for both top and bottom. Then, using jQuery, once we know the image is loaded, we can determine its width and height, and shove it left and up by half those values. That places it directly in the center of the screen. I added some animation stuff in there for prettiness :)
You can use display:table-cell to vertically align something in the middle. You have to get the div to stretch to 100% of your fixed position div though. I have made a quick jsfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/fm2GD/2/
Basically you have to have the image in a table cell:
#tableCell{
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
display:table-cell;
text-align:center;
vertical-align:middle;
}
which is in a "table" :
#table{
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
display:table;
}
which covers 100% of your fixed position div.
I am looking to implement the opposite behaviour to the following question: CSS Push Div to bottom of page. I.e., when content overflows to the scrollbars, I would like the footer to be at the bottom of the page, like Stack Overflow.
I have a div with id="footer" and the following CSS:
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 30px;
width: 100%;
}
This moves the div to the bottom of the viewport - but the element stays there even when you scroll the page down, so it is no longer at the bottom.
How can I make sure the div stays at the bottom of the page's contents even when the content overflows? I'm not looking for fixed positioning, only for the element to be at the bottom of all content.
Image:
This is precisely what position: fixed was designed for:
#footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
}
Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/uw8f9/
Unfortunately you can't do this with out adding a little extra HTML and having one piece of CSS rely on another.
HTML
First you need to wrap your header,footer and #body into a #holder div:
<div id="holder">
<header>.....</header>
<div id="body">....</div>
<footer>....</footer>
</div>
CSS
Then set height: 100% to html and body (actual body, not your #body div) to ensure you can set minimum height as a percentage on child elements.
Now set min-height: 100% on the #holder div so it fills the content of the screen and use position: absolute to sit the footer at the bottom of the #holder div.
Unfortunately, you have to apply padding-bottom to the #body div that is the same height as the footer to ensure that the footer does not sit above any content:
html,body{
height: 100%
}
#holder{
min-height: 100%;
position:relative;
}
#body{
padding-bottom: 100px; /* height of footer */
}
footer{
height: 100px;
width:100%;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
}
Working example, short body: http://jsfiddle.net/ELUGc/
Working example, long body: http://jsfiddle.net/ELUGc/1/
Just worked out for another solution as above example have bug( somewhere error ) for me. Variation from the selected answer.
html,body {
height: 100%
}
#nonFooter {
min-height: 100%;
position:relative;
/* Firefox */
min-height: -moz-calc(100% - 30px);
/* WebKit */
min-height: -webkit-calc(100% - 30px);
/* Opera */
min-height: -o-calc(100% - 30px);
/* Standard */
min-height: calc(100% - 30px);
}
#footer {
height:30px;
margin: 0;
clear: both;
width:100%;
position: relative;
}
for html layout
<body>
<div id="nonFooter">header,middle,left,right,etc</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</body>
Well this way don't support old browser however its acceptable for old browser to scrolldown 30px to view the footer
plunker
I realise it says not to use this for 'responding to other answers' but unfortunately I don't have enough rep to add a comment onto the appropriate answer (!) but ...
If you are having problems in asp.net with the answer from 'My Head Hurts' - you need to add 'height : 100%' to the main generated FORM tag as well as HTML and BODY tags in order for this to work.
You didn't close your ; after position: absolute.
Otherwise your above code would have worked perfectly!
#footer {
position:absolute;
bottom:30px;
width:100%;
}
I would comment if i could , but i have no permissions yet, so i will post a hint as an answer, for unexpected behavior on some android devices:
Position: Fixed only works in Android 2.1 thru 2.3 by using the following meta tag:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no">.
see http://caniuse.com/#search=position
This is an intuitive solution using the viewport command that just sets the minimum height to the viewport height minus the footer height.
html,body{
height: 100%
}
#nonFooter{
min-height: calc(100vh - 30px)
}
#footer {
height:30px;
margin: 0;
clear: both;
width:100%;
}
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
(if needs element in whole display and left align)
left:0;
width: 100%;
I've solved a similar issue by putting all of my main content within an extra div tag (id="outer"). I've then moved the div tag with id="footer" outside of this last "outer" div tag.
I've used CSS to specify the height of "outer" and specified the width and height of "footer". I've also used CSS to specify the margin-left and margin-right of "footer" as auto. The result is that the footer sits firmly at the bottom of my page and scrolls with the page too (although, it's still appears inside the "outer" div, but happily outside of the main "content" div. which seems strange, but it's where I want it).
I just want to add - most of the other answers worked fine for me; however, it took a long time to get them working!
This is because setting height: 100% only picks up parent div's height!
So if your entire html (inside of the body) looks like the following:
<div id="holder">
<header>.....</header>
<div id="body">....</div>
<footer>....</footer>
</div>
Then the following will be fine:
html,body{
height: 100%
}
#holder{
min-height: 100%;
position:relative;
}
#body{
padding-bottom: 100px; /* height of footer */
}
footer{
height: 100px;
width:100%;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
}
...as "holder" will pick up it's height directly from "body".
Kudos to My Head Hurts, whose answer was the one I ended up getting to work!
However. If your html is more nested (because it's only an element of the full page, or it's within a certain column, etc) then you need to make sure every containing element also has height: 100% set on the div. Otherwise, the information on height will be lost between "body" and "holder".
E.g. the following, where I've added the "full height" class to every div to make sure the height gets all the way down to our header/body/footer elements:
<div class="full-height">
<div class="container full-height">
<div id="holder">
<header>.....</header>
<div id="body">....</div>
<footer>....</footer>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And remember to set height on full-height class in the css:
#full-height{
height: 100%;
}
That fixed my issues!
if you have a fixed height footer (for example 712px) you can do this with js like so:
var bgTop = 0;
window.addEventListener("resize",theResize);
function theResize(){
bgTop = winHeight - 712;
document.getElementById("bg").style.marginTop = bgTop+"px";
}
I hit my footer with a margin-top: auto and it did the trick! Im commenting this here just in case it could help any future visitors.
I'm trying to make a background following this example, but I need to nest 2 containers.
My code look something like:
XHTML:
<body>
<div id="background_shadow">
<div id="container">
<!--content-->
</div>
</div>
</body>
css:
#background_shadow{
margin:0 auto; /* center, not in IE5 */
height:100%;
height:auto !important; /* real browsers */
min-height:100%; /* real browsers */
width: 876px;
padding: 0px 72px;
background: url("../images/background_shadow.png") repeat-y center;
}
#container{
width: 100%;
margin: auto;
background-image: url("../images/background.jpg") repeat-y;
height: 100%;
}
The problem is that the #container element isn't stretching with #background_shadow. Am I missing something? I would like to use nested container with 2 background image because one of them is transparent and if I use png instead of jpeg on the second image the filesize is too big (around 1Mo)
Here is what I'm getting
And what I would like
I guess that if there arn't any solution I will need to use a big png.
Thank you
For height: 100%; to work on an element, all parent elements need it, too (even html and body). So because of height: auto !important;, it doesn't work anymore in the #container child.
You can either remove the height: auto; or add #container { min-height: 100%; }. I just tested it in Opera 11 and apparently min-height works just as fine. Don't know about IE, though.
By the example you provided, your #background_shadow should have position: relative. That's going to allow it and it's children out of the restrictions of straight document flow.
Use Firebug to delete the footer from your example link - you'll see the div above it expand to fill the page even though it's content does not require the additional height.
I would like to have an IFRAME dynamically sized using the following CSS:
#myiframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
However, no browser seems to support this.
In good browsers I could wrap the IFRAME in a DIV with the quoted CSS style and set the height & width of the IFRAME to 100%. But this does not work in IE7. Short of using CSS expressions, has anyone managed to solve this?
Update
MatTheCat answered with a scenario that works if the IFRAME is located directly under the body and the body/html tags have height: 100% set. In my original question I did not state where the IFRAME was and what styling applied to it's container. Hopefully the following addresses this:
<html>
<body>
<div id="container"><iframe id="myiframe"></iframe></div>
</body>
</html>
and let's assume the following container CSS:
#container {
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
bottom: 10px;
left: 10px;
right: 10px;
}
if you now place height: 100% on the IFRAME it will not size correctly.
Use a div for the padding on all sides. Place the iframe in it using 100% of its parent div.
http://jsfiddle.net/sg3s/j8sbX/
Now there are a few things you need to remember. An iframe is originally an inline-frame, so while modern browsers don't care, set display:block on it. By default it also has a border. Any stying we want to be done needs to be done on the iframe container instead or we'll break the 100% container boundry.
And this is how we would put an element above it:
http://jsfiddle.net/sg3s/j8sbX/25/ (edit: my bad, you actually need to set border=0 on the iframe for IE7)
Should work fine in IE7+ (IE6 doesn't like absolute positioning + using top/right/bottom/left to give it layout)
Edit Some extra explanation
We need to style the iframe container mainly because an iframe on itself doesn't let itself be sized with top/left/bottom/right. But what will work is setting its width and height to 100%. So starting from there we simply wrap the iframe in an element which we can reliably style to make less than the window 100%, the size which elements default to when none of their parents have a static height/width.
Thinking about it we can actually drop the absolute and block. http://jsfiddle.net/sg3s/j8sbX/26/ Might want to doublecheck IE7 on that though.
After we make the iframe 100% high and wide we cannot put any margin, padding, or border on it because that will be added to the already 100% height & width. Thus making it larger than its container, for divs that will result in an overflow:visible, simply showing everything going over the edges. But that in turn would mess up the margins, paddings and offsets we gave our elements.... In fact to make it be only the 100% height and width you have to make sure you removed the iframes default border.
Try it out by adding a larger border (like 3px) in my example to the iframe, you should easily be able to see how it's affecting the layout.
Why don't you use height & width? You'd still get an absolute position by setting top/bottom & left/right, as in the example below.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
border:0px;
height:100%;
width:100%;
}
#container {
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
bottom: 10px;
left: 10px;
right: 10px;
}
#myiframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0%;
left: 0%;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container"><iframe id="myiframe"></iframe></div>
</body>
</html>
This works for me (Tested on IE9).
html,body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:100%;
min-height:100%;
}
#myiframe {
width:100%;
height:100%;
border:0;
}
work fine for me even with IE7.
I would say take a look at this stack overflow question. It might help:
Make Iframe to fit 100% of container's remaining height
You can try to use this:
document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[1].style.borderWidth = '0px';
document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[1].style.backgroundColor = 'green';
