Div has scroll bar

Question

http://jsfiddle.net/LUfgY/

It doesn't show it there but if that code is run on normal browser, it would produce scroll bars within the parent div.

How do I remove that scroll bar?

Answer 1

Try this:

#container {
    overflow:hidden; /* change to hidden */
    margin: 0 auto;
    margin-top:37px;
    height: 100%;
    width:875px;
    -moz-box-shadow: 0 30 30px 5px #999;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 30 0 30px 5px #999;
    -o-box-shadow: 0 30 30px 5px #999;
    border:1px solid black;
    border-top-style:none;
}
#child1 {
    overflow:hidden; /* change to hidden */
    min-height:150px;
    border-bottom:1px solid #bbb;
    background-color:#eee;
    opacity:0.4;
}

Answer 2

In most browsers overflow:auto causes a scrollbar to be provided for overflowing boxes. Change the according div(s) to overflow:hidden

This jsFiddle should work.

Answer 3

You have overflow:auto on everything? no wonder you get scroll bars.

Here's a decent overflow reference: http://css-tricks.com/2833-the-css-overflow-property/

Otherwise, just declare overflow:hidden, overflow-x:hidden or overflow-y:hidden

Answer 4

Use CSS overflow property to control the scroll bars: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_pos_overflow.asp
