I am using TextArea tags in my web project, that shall never show scrollbars.
This can easily be accomplished using
TEXTAREA { overflow: hidden }
All browsers that I need (IE, FF, Chrome) hide the scrollbars, as intended.
However Internet Explorer and Chrome will scroll to the current cursor position anyway, while Firefox does not scroll anymore at all. You can move the cursor into the invisible area and type, but you will not see, what you are doing.
Can this be solved?
Regards,
Steffen
EDIT: Because I have not found the source of the problem and I would really like to solve this, I leave this question open. However I found a really bad workaround: We now use overflow: scroll on that TEXTAREA, put it into a DIV, measure the width and height of the horizonal and vertical scrollbars, increase the size of the TEXTAREA by that values and set overflow:hidden to the DIV effectivly clipping away the scrollbars. They get invisible to the user but Firefox still scrolls. Not nice but working.
As far as I can tell, Firefox is behaving as I'd expect given the semantics behind overflow:hidden.
That said, and having read your comments above, you can quite easily mimick the behaviour you want with a small bit of jQuery.
Here's the code I've written:
$('textarea').bind("focus keyup", function(){
var $current = $(this);
$current.scrollTop(
$current[0].scrollHeight - $current.height()
);
});
This will basically scroll the textarea to the bottom when you focus on it and as you type. It may need tweaking to account for edits being done further up in the content.
Here's a Working Demo

I have a little problem with using KendoUI TabStrip. It doesn't matter if I'm at the top of the screen, but when I click a tab, the screen moves to the tabs to the center of the screen and the I have to scroll to view the content, this is not a big problem, but it is annoying, so I would like to know if there's a way to avoid this.
Thank you.
Yes, according to Telerik:
The problem is caused by the fact that during the time that the tabs
are changed, the page get smaller, so the scroll position goes up. The
solution is to set height or min-height style to the TabStrip content
s, so that the overall TabStrip height remains constant.
They also list other potential solutions in the following thread:
http://www.kendoui.com/forums/kendo-ui-web/tabstrip/browser-scroll-position-is-changed-when-tab-is-changed.aspx
I had a similar issue with tabs jumping around when i was removing and adding tabstrips dynamically.
My root cause was due to using jquery and trying to do a $("#tabstrip").remove() instead of clearing out the container holding the tabstrip. My fix was $("#tabstripcontainer").empty() to clear out any remnants that the tabstrip left behind.
The new mini-site for iPhone 5s has a special page scroll:
http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/
Every time you flick the page, it glides and stops at the next full page, not halfway, and not any more than required. How do they do it?
I had to do a similar site and I created a plugin for it:

Living demo
In mine you can also:
Use it over IE 8 and old browsers with no CSS 3 support.
Slide throw the page using the keyboard arrows.
Add horizontal sliders.
Resize of texts when resizing the window.
Mobile and Tablet detection enabling the scrolling on them. (as there are usually problems to visualize big contents and texts)
It is in its first version, simple but working well :)
I will keep improving it as far as I can. Suggestions will be more than welcome.

I've been fiddling with a solution to a similar problem.
All my solution does is monitor when the window scrolls.
if ($(window).scrollTop()+$(window).height()>=$("#page"+(nextpage)).offset().top+100) {
If it scrolls past the end of the "page" by more than 50px jquery animates the scroll to the next "page".
$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: pageheight }, 500, function() { currentpage = nextpage; animatingdown = false; document.location.hash = currentpage;});
It does the same for scrolling up. This covers scrolling by mouse, keyboard or javascript.

Maybe it'll be of some use to someone (let me know if it is, or isn't).
I've been struggling for weeks trying to crack this nut so I'm not sure if it's impossible, or if it's my lack of coding chops... or both. I'm not a programmer and I'm a newbie to Dojo Toolkit.
I have a site using the BorderContainer layout. I'm trying to create an effect where I can use a button to open and close a dropdown type box that will contain controls. I need this dropdown to be hidden on page load, and then open when you click the button.
My problem is that when I open the dropdown, it pushes the content pane below it off the bottom of the browser window. I need the lower ContentPane to stay fit within the remaining space of the browser window when the dropdown opens. Additionally, I want the dropdown to sit outside of the scrollable container for the content below it, which is why I have it set up to sit outside a nested BorderContainer below it.
I've created a simplified version of the code to demonstrate my challenge (see link below). If you load the page you can see the center ContentPane scrolls the content. But, if you then click on the button, a dropdown div expands above the content. Then when you scroll, you'll notice that you can't see the full pane because it's in no-man's-land below the bottom of the browser window. I assume that because the div is set to display:none on load, it's size is not accounted for on page load. Then, when you open it by pressing the button, it's size is additive and the pane below doesn't know how to resize or account for the new element.
I've tried using the visibility attribute, but that leaves a gap for the div when it's still closed. I've tinkered with some code that controls the height that shows promise, but each of my dropdown boxes will be different sizes so I'd prefer that the height be set to "auto" rather than a specified pixel size.
Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this so that the lower pane will fit in the space without pushing off the screen?
Here's a sample of the page:
http://equium.com/scaffold.html
(I had some problems trying to insert the full HTML page here as a code sample so if that's a preferable way to handle it, and someone can let me know the best way to embed all of that code, I'd appreciate it.)
Thanks is advance, I'd really apprecaite anyone's feedback.
You might want to take a look at dojox.layout.ExpandoPane (though be warned I think it has only worked properly for top and left regions for a while).
Also, I'd suggest simplifying/altering your layout a bit. See example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/taFzv/
(It'd probably need some tweaking to get exactly what you want.)
The real issue you're having is probably that the BorderContainer has no idea that parts of the view resized. ExpandoPane takes care of that by telling the BorderContainer to re-layout after its animation completes.
It works under IE8.0. When dropdown box open, just keep pressing mouse from page and drag to bottom, you could see the content was pushed to out of page. It looks the browser could not detect it and could not add it to "scroll bar" account.
I would suggest taking out all BorderContainers except your top level one, the one with mainPage as the id.
Place your {stuff here} div into the mainPage BorderContainer, after the ContentPane with the Close/Open button. Make sure you make it dojotype dijit.layout.ContentPane, set up layoutpriority, and set region to top. Set the height to 0/x when clicking the Open/Close button, instead of setting display.
Try your page again. If that doesn't fix it, you probably need, a call to layout, resize, or both to indicate to the BorderContainer that it needs to evaluate all its children and size the "center" pane properly. Something like dijit.byId("mainPage").layout(); Do this any time someone presses the Close/Open button, after you have changed the height of any BorderContainer children.
Maybe the dijit.form.DropDownButton would fit your needs. When click the button a tooltip is displayed that can be filled with any content you want. Just as you specified, the dropdown tooltip is only displayed when you click the button, and it doesn't mess with the underlying layout at all. The tooltip sits "on top" of the page.
I have a page with a couple DIVs with contents loaded via ajax. After the contents loaded, the page doesn't dislay the scrollbar to show all the DIV contents (I can't scroll down to see the rest of the content.) I tried with Firefox and IE. All have the same problem. Is there away I can fix this?
Did you try to set style on the div or class?
overflow: auto;
Without seeing the HTML and CSS, all I can offer is a few suggestions:
Maybe you have unclosed tags.
The div style might prevent correct display. What's the overflow set to?
If you're loading into a div that's in a document in an iframe, you get this kind of stuff a lot.
Can you scroll around the div with TAB or by mouse-selecting its contents? Maybe the content isn't even being loaded fully.
In CSS I had the position of the div as fixed
div.query_res{
position:fixed;
top:40px;
left:445px;
}
changed it to
div.query_res{
position:relative;
top:40px;
left:445px;
}
And all was good.
This is quite old, but just in case some else gets here, as me, you have to redraw the page, as the calculations to add a scroll has been already made. So you have to tell the browser to redraw as the content size has changed. You can test if this is the case by changing the size of the window, if doing so gets back the scroll bar, then redraw after generating the DIV or whatever you are generating.
I fixed the way the content was being pushed down with using the +position:absolute !important; hack that i've found. But now my question is no matter how i style the top (in the jqmWindow in IE it still seems to popup the window in the middle of the page. In FF however i've gotten the page to be more towards the top. The reason why i need to move this jqm window is that there is more info on the div (jqm) then will fit on the screen. Is there a way just to make the window a certain size and have scroll bars on the side if the content is larger? Thanks for the help.
you should be able to wrap the contents of the window in a div and set it's height, as well as overflow
div.wrap{
height:220px;
overflow:scroll;
}
