When the parent box has horizontal padding and overflow:auto (or scroll), browsers differ in the provided extent of horizontal. Within my app I use this to allow people to scroll. See the working example window. In the above test cases a box with gray border, light gray background and fixed width (200px) contains a yellow child with width:auto, and a green overflowing child (width: 300px). Hi there, Im experiencing a strange problem when I use -webkit-overflow- scrolling: touch within my app. if we added the padding across the board, some blocks would appear to have an odd blank line when it didn't overflow). JavaScript to the Rescueĭisclaimer: As much as I'd love to see this problem solved entirely using CSS, or even the browser doing the job, I can't see how it can be achieved uniformly across all elements, since we only want our changes to apply if, and only if the overflow has occurred (i.e. † As far as my testing has seen, the typical height of a scroll bar is 20 pixels.

It's worth noting that I can only see this being a problem for horizontal overflow. So our aim is to move the horizontal scroll bar to the outside of our overflowed element. Here's the worst example, where only one line is overflowed (there's a super tiny vertical scrollbar that you're supposed to use to view the single line): You'll note that because the content overflows horizontally in IE, the new horizontal scroll bar means we can't see all the content vertically, thus generating a vertical scroll bar.

scroll clips the overflowing content and provides scrollbars so the user can scroll the. In particular, Firefox et al, when overflowing an element, it puts the horizontal overflow scroll bar on the outside of the element. This prevents a user from scrolling overflowed content into view. What I hadn't realised (though kicking myself for not realising earlier) is that IE has a different implementation of overflow compared to Firefox or Safari.

On our container, we want to turn off vertical scrolling (overflow-y) and.
