To hide the scrollbar but still allow scrolling, you can use a combination of CSS properties. Here's a common method to achieve this:
For Webkit Browsers (e.g., Chrome, Safari):
.hide-scrollbar::-webkit-scrollbar {
display: none; /* Hide scrollbars */
}
For Firefox:
Firefox doesn't have a direct method to hide the scrollbar, but you can use a workaround. You can wrap the content in an inner container and shift the scrollbar out of view.
.hide-scrollbar {
overflow: auto;
scrollbar-width: none; /* For Firefox */
}
.hide-scrollbar-inner {
margin-right: -17px; /* Approximate width of the scrollbar */
}
And the HTML structure:
<div class="hide-scrollbar">
<div class="hide-scrollbar-inner">
<!-- Your content here -->
</div>
</div>
For Internet Explorer:
.hide-scrollbar {
-ms-overflow-style: none; /* Hide scrollbars in IE */
}
By combining these styles, you can effectively hide the scrollbar across most browsers while retaining the ability to scroll.
Note: Hiding scrollbars can affect the user experience, especially if users aren't aware that the content is scrollable. Ensure that the design clearly indicates when there's more content to view.
