Question

// Major edit, sorry in bed with back pain, screwed up post

One of the ad agencies I code for had me set up an alternate scrolling solution because you know how designers hate things that just work but aren’t beautiful.

The scrolling solution is applied to divs with overflow:hidden and uses jQuery’s scrollTo(). It’s a set of buttons top and bottom that handle moving the content.

So, this is married in places to their CMS. What I have not been able to sort yet is how to hide the scrolling UI when overflow:auto would not have been triggered by the CMS content and the buttons are not needed.

The divs have set heights and widths. Can i detect hidden content? Or measure the div contents’ height?

Any ideas?

So you want to get the height of a hidden element? I found this post maybe it is what you are looking for.

Its using jQuery, but the concept is the same. Hope this helps!
