I’m trying to hide the horizontal scroll bars on my web page.
I’ve tried using “overflow-x:hidden” but Visual Studio says that overflow-x is not a known CSS property name.
I’m also using overflow:auto which took care of the vertical scroll bar but not the horizontal.
Help?
The overflow properties are genuine and are in the CSS3 draft here:
W3C CSS3 Box Model Page
overflow:auto will only hide a scrollbar if the content fits in that direction, i.e. it will hide the vertical scrollbar if the contents are shorter than the parent container in the Y-dimension. There are some illustrations on this page which explain it better than I can!
