[ Solved – 10 Answers ] CSS – HTML – Hiding the scrollbar on an HTML page
How to Hide the scrollbar on an HTML page using CSS ?
Html Code
<style type="text/css">
body {
overflow:hidden;
}
</style> - Set overflow: hidden; on the body tag like this:
Html code
<style type="text/css">
body {
overflow:hidden;
}
</style> - The code above hides both horizontal and vertical scrollbar.
If you want to hide only the vertical scrollbar, use overflow-y:
Html Code
<style type="text/css">
body {
overflow-y:hidden;
}
</style> - And if you want to hide only the horizontal scrollbar, use overflow-x:
Html Code
<style type="text/css">
body {
overflow-x:hidden;
}
</style> - This works for webkit:
Css code
#element::-webkit-scrollbar {
display: none;
} - If you want all scrollbars hidden, use
Css Code
::-webkit-scrollbar {
display: none;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar {
display: block;

- You can of course always use width: 0, which can than be easily restored with width: auto.
- You can accomplish this with a wrapper div that has it’s overflow hidden, and the inner div set to auto.
- To remove the inner div’s scroll bar, you can pull it out of the outer div’s viewport by applying a negative margin to the inner div.
- Then apply equal padding to the inner div so that the content stays in view.
HTML :
Html Code
<div class="hide-scroll">
<div class="viewport">
...
</div>
</div> CSS :
Css Code
.hide-scroll {
overflow: hidden;}
.viewport {
overflow: auto;
/* Make sure the inner div is not larger than the container
* so that we have room to scroll.
*/
max-height: 100%;
/* Pick an arbitrary margin/padding that should be bigger
* than the max width of all the scroll bars across
* the devices you are targeting.
* padding = -margin
*/
margin-right: -100px;
padding-right: 100px;} - We can do this :
Html code
<div class="contentScroller">
<div class="content">
</div>
</div>
.contentScroller {overflow-y: auto; visibility: hidden;}
.content {visibility: visible;} - You can use the CSS property overflow and -ms-overflow-style with a combination with ::-webkit-scrollbar.
- Tested on IE10+, Firefox, Safari and Chrome and works good:
Css Code
.container {
-ms-overflow-style: none; // IE 10+
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-none; // Firefox
}
.container::-webkit-scrollbar {
display: none; // Safari and Chrome
} [ad type=”banner”]
- when you hide the scrollbar with padding-right, because the default scrollbar width is different on each browser.
Note: In the latest versions of Firefox the -moz-scrollbars-none property is deprecated ( link ).
- Use css overflow property:
Css Code
.noscroll {
width:150px;
height:150px;
overflow: auto; /* or hidden, or visible */
} - Here’s a jsfiddle, which uses the solution below to hide a horizontal scrollbar.
Css Code
.scroll-wrapper{
overflow-x: scroll;
}
.scroll-wrapper::-webkit-scrollbar {
display: none;
} - To disable vertical scroll bar just add : overflow-y:hidden;
- Cross Browser Approach to hiding the scrollbar.
Css Code
/* make parent invisible */
#parent {
visibility: hidden;
overflow: scroll;}
/* safari and chrome specific style, don't need to make parent invisible because we can style webkit scrollbars */
#parent:not(*:root) {
visibility: visible;}
/* make safari and chrome scrollbar invisible */
#parent::-webkit-scrollbar {
visibility: hidden;}
/* make the child visible */
#child {
visibility: visible;} HTML :
