[SOLVED] Hidden scrollbar unless page resize

Hidden scrollbar unless page resize

I need a custom scrollbar plugin for a personal project (by "custom" I mean basic inertia effects, custom images and so on). My choice was mCustomScrollbar.

The documentation was indeed very clear, and I haven't had any trouble implementing the script, but it seems to work only when I resize the page, as if scrolling isn't needed.

In fact, the scrollbar has style="display: hidden" on a fully loaded page, like in this question (but I couldn't find any useful answers).

I believe there's some height issue linked with slidesjs (which I'm using as well), but I just can't find it...here's some code:

(There's the whole page, so you can view the code with firebug...just go under "Pulcini" to view the long content)

<head>
  <!-- everything is included -->
  <link href="css/style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
  <link href="css/jquery.mCustomScrollbar.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
  <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.mousewheel.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.mCustomScrollbar.js"></script>
  <script>
    $(function(){
      $("#slides").slides({
        generatePagination: false,
        pagination: true,
        paginationClass: 'pagination'
      });
    });
  </script>
  <script>
    (function($){
      $(window).load(function(){
        $("#slide2").mCustomScrollbar();
      });
    })(jQuery);
  </script>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="slides">
    <!-- other stuff -->
    <div class="slides_container">
      <div id="slide1">
        <h2>Uova</h2>
        <p>Text1...</p>
      </div>
      <!-- slide2 is the scrollbar div -->
      <div id="slide2">
        <h2>Blabla</h2>
        <p>Lorem ipsum</p><br />
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</body>

CSS:

div#slides {
  height: 506px;
}
.slides_container {
  width: 900px;
  height: 506px;
}

.slides_container, div#slide1, div#slide2, div#slide3, {
  width: 808px;
  height: 366px;
  display: block;
  float: left;
  overflow-y: auto;
}

.slides_container {
  margin-top: 30px;
  margin-bottom: 30px;
  height: 366px;
}

Solution

I had same problem. So I changed the fluid code for updateOnBrowserResize: true, and updateOnContentResize: true, and now it works great with all the javascript.

(function($) {  
  $(window).load(function() {  
    $("#content_1").mCustomScrollbar({  
      scrollEasing:"easeOutCirc",  
      mouseWheel:"auto",   
      autoDraggerLength:true,   
      advanced:{  
        updateOnBrowserResize:true,   
        updateOnContentResize:true   
      } // removed extra commas  
    });  
  });  
})(jQuery);
