How to make dynamic div overflow without fixed height












1















I'm trying to create a scrolling element without a fixed height parent. I want #SECTION1 of my code to be scrollable to show the rest of the images. I can't seem to find a way to do this. I've attempted to set #SECTION1 to a fixed height but it forces my images to be squashed. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.



Here is my code:






* {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-decoration: none;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 15px;
}


/* Track */

::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
background: #f1f1f1;
}


/* Handle */

::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
background: #888;
}


/* Handle on hover */

::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover {
background: #555;
}

html,
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100vh;
overflow: hidden;
}

      share|improve this question
















      I'm trying to create a scrolling element without a fixed height parent. I want #SECTION1 of my code to be scrollable to show the rest of the images. I can't seem to find a way to do this. I've attempted to set #SECTION1 to a fixed height but it forces my images to be squashed. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.



      Here is my code:






      * {
      box-sizing: border-box;
      margin: 0;
      padding: 0;
      text-decoration: none;
      }

      ::-webkit-scrollbar {
      width: 15px;
      }


      /* Track */

      ::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
      background: #f1f1f1;
      }


      /* Handle */

      ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
      background: #888;
      }


      /* Handle on hover */

      ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover {
      background: #555;
      }

          Flex items are set to flex-shrink: 1 by default. This means they can shrink to prevent an overflow of the container. In your case, you may need to disable this feature (flex-shrink: 0).





          Also, consider using height: 100vh, instead of height: 100% on your flex container. Percentage heights are tricky and often require the parent to have a defined height.



          See this post for details: Working with the CSS height property and percentage values





          Lastly, remove justify-content: center from your flex container. It makes content inaccessible via scroll in some cases.



          See this post for details: Can't scroll to top of flex item that is overflowing container





          Make these adjustments to your code:



          #body-wrapper {
          display: flex;
          /* height: 100%; */
          height: calc(100vh - 80px); /* subtract footer height */
          }

          #section1 {
          background-color: #191919;
          display: flex;
          align-items: center;
          /* justify-content: center; */ /* remove to avoid scrolling problems */
          flex-direction: column;
          width: 100%;
          overflow: auto;
          }

          #section1-wrapper {
          width: 80%;
          display: flex;
          font-family: 'Roboto';
          padding-top: 50px;
          padding-bottom: 50px;
          align-items: center;
          flex-direction: column;
          flex-shrink: 0; /* add to disable flex default shrinking feature */
          }

            You should change your overflow property in the #section1



            #section1-wrapper {
            overflow: scroll;
            }
