Browsers scrollbar is under my fixed div

This can be solved by adding overflow of body

from

overflow:auto;

to

overflow:auto;
overflow:initial;

This is your issue

If your scroll is set on body, if its structured as body > wrapper > header (with fixed position), content so on

below is your solution

solution for issue

note: this will work only on body but not on div container with scroll. you can also work with z-index to get it to work, but you will be specifying z-index to stack other elements in order to get it right.

Hope this helps..:)

A css hack (i finally found a way) for this with not much explanation made quickly - the first floated element is. I think to understand the principle how it works from the code below.

Update: And there is an issue for mobile browsers see below to assess whether or not youre ok with it.

<div style="position: fixed;top: 0;width: 100%;left: 0;z-index: 100000;height: 200px;background: #f00;">

<div id="aaaaa" style="display: block;float:right;color: #000;overflow-y:scroll;min-height:20px;top: -100px;background: #0f0;border: 1px solid #0f0;"></div>
<div id="bbbb" style="display: block;position:relative;color: #000;overflow:hidden;min-height:20px;background: #f0f;border: 1px solid #00f;">sdfasdf sdfas s as as fasd fasd fasdfasd fasd asdf asd fasdf sadf asdf asdf asdf sad fasdf asdf asdf asd fasdf asdf asdf asd fsad sad sfd

        <div style="width: 100%;height: 20px;background: #5ff"></div>

</div>

And final code, nearly the same with things you want see visible and working

<div style="position: fixed;top: 0;width: 100%;left: 0;z-index: 100000;height: 0px;overflow:visible;background: #f00;">

<div id="aaaaa" style="display: block;float:right;color: #000;overflow-y:scroll;visibility:hidden;min-height:20px;top: -100px;background: #0f0;border: 1px solid #0f0;"></div>
<div id="bbbb" style="display: block;position:relative;color: #000;overflow:hidden;min-height:20px;background: #f0f;border: 1px solid #00f;">sdfasdf sdfas s as as fasd fasd fasdfasd fasd asdf asd fasdf sadf asdf asdf asdf sad fasdf asdf asdf asd fasdf asdf asdf asd fsad sad sfd

        <div style="width: 100%;height: 20px;background: #5ff"></div>

</div>

What's important it works with mobile and desktop browsers. Actually for the moment i tested mobile on windows edge when my computer changed into tablet mode and then desktop one. The code works then all the time. To check is whether or not this works with :before instead of div id="aaaa" to make it more css pure and additional divs intependent.

Update: it doesn't work well with before for Edge browser doesn't change the scrollbar when entering the tablet mode.

If you encounter problems with hidden contents in bbbb element try not to position: absolute/fixed elements in the bbbb container.

I haven't tested it yet for all situations and browsers.

Update: the issue mentioned somewhere on the top of this answer - yet on mobile browsers scrollbar is covered because the scrollbar is dynamic - it appears only when your scrolling and you know it is not part of any containers. The scrollbar probably is pretty thin on all browsers, so you should decide what to do with it. Maybe a little 5 pixels margin or so?

its because the overflow-x: hidden; in base.css line number 9

body {
    color: #444444;
    font: 13px/20px Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
    overflow-x: hidden; // remove this 
}

The issue isn't with overflow-x on the body tag. It's because of overflow-x andoverflow-y on the html tag. Once I removed this from the HTML tag, I could put whatever overflow I wanted on my body.

This happens when:

• overflow-x is set to either auto, hidden, overflow, or scroll
• overflow-y is set to either auto, hidden, -webkit-paged-x, or -webkit-paged-y

It doesn't have to be an explicit call to overflow-x or overflow-y, as overflow sets both of them.
