I have seen a few questions about somewhat the same issue, but none of the specified answers actually work for this one.
Consider the following snippet :
$(function () {
$(window).on('scroll', function () {
/**
THIS SHOULD NOT BE CALLED!!!
So, change some colors to warn about it, if it happens.
*/
$('#content').css('background-color', 'red');
});
});
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
#container {
position: absolute;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
z-index: 9999999;
overflow: auto;
}
#nav {
background-color:rgb(50,50,50);
color: white;
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
padding-top: 10px;
z-index: 100;
}
#content-wrapper {
background-color:rgb(200,200,200);
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
width: 100%;
z-index:2;
}
#content {
padding-top: 40px;
padding-bottom: 40px;
}
#footer {
background-color: rgb(220, 220, 240);
position: fixed;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
height: 30px;
width: 100%;
padding-top: 10px;
z-index: 9999;
}

The scrollbar goes underneath nav
and footer
. Since this is very important that only the container
element scrolls (the BODY
element must not scroll), how can I fix this? Is it possible?
The HTML structure should essentially be as suggested in this question (fixed nav, full height content, etc.). I have tried several tricks; modifying z-index
es, wrapping things around, etc., I'm at a lost here.
The targeted browser is Google Chrome, as this is the adopted browser in use for this application. The ideal solution would make the fixed element adjust their width to compensate for the overflow: auto;
on the container
element.
An alternative approach here would be to only scroll the #content-wrapper from your example. Here's a basic example of how this might be done:
HTML
<div id="container">
<div id="nav">
Navbar
</div>
<div id="content-wrapper">
<div id="content">
<div>
Begin
</div>
<div style="height: 600px;">
...
</div>
<div>
End
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
Footer
</div>
</div>
CSS
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
#container {
position: absolute;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
#nav {
background-color:rgb(50,50,50);
color: white;
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
padding-top: 10px;
}
#content-wrapper {
position:absolute;
top:40px;
bottom:40px;
left:0;
right:0;
background-color:rgb(200,200,200);
width: 100%;
overflow:scroll;
}
#footer {
background-color: rgb(220, 220, 240);
position: fixed;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
height: 30px;
width: 100%;
padding-top: 10px;
}
