Remove HTML scrollbars but allow mousewheel scrolling [duplicate]

Answer 1

There are Javascript methods, see the thread you duplicated.

A better solution is to set the target div to overflow:scroll, and wrap it inside a second element that is 8px narrower, who's overflow:hidden.

The target element will have a hidden scrollbar. The mousewheel will work, but the scroll bar will not show.

<div style='overflow:hidden; width:200px;'>
   <div style='overflow:scroll; width:208px'>
      My mousewheel scrollable content here....
   </div>
</div>

Note that 8px as the width of the scrollbar is a random number - it's probably a lot more, and it could require per browser CSS.

Still better than JS in my book.

You could use jScrollPane which allows you to replace the browser scrollbars with custom ones:

Since you can style these custom scrollbars with CSS you could easily make them disappear (try something like: .jScrollPaneTrack { display: none; })
