How can I check if a scrollbar is visible?

Question

Is it possible to check the overflow:auto of a div?

For example:

HTML

Answer 1

(scrollWidth/Height - clientWidth/Height) is a good indicator for the presence of a scrollbar, but it will give you a "false positive" answer on many occasions. if you need to be accurate i would suggest using the following function. instead of trying to guess if the element is scrollable - you can scroll it...

function isScrollable( el ){
  var y1 = el.scrollTop;
  el.scrollTop  += 1;
  var y2 = el.scrollTop;
  el.scrollTop  -= 1;
  var y3 = el.scrollTop;
  el.scrollTop   = y1;
  var x1 = el.scrollLeft;
  el.scrollLeft += 1;
  var x2 = el.scrollLeft;
  el.scrollLeft -= 1;
  var x3 = el.scrollLeft;
  el.scrollLeft  = x1;
  return {
    horizontallyScrollable: x1 !== x2 || x2 !== x3,
    verticallyScrollable: y1 !== y2 || y2 !== y3
  }
}
function check( id ){
  alert( JSON.stringify( isScrollable( document.getElementById( id ))));
}

#outer1, #outer2, #outer3 {
  background-color: pink;
  overflow: auto;
  float: left;
}
#inner {
  width:  150px;
  height: 150px;
}
button {  margin: 2em 0 0 1em; }

<div id="outer1" style="width: 100px; height: 100px;">
  <div id="inner">
    <button onclick="check('outer1')">check if<br>scrollable</button>
  </div>
</div>
<div id="outer2" style="width: 200px; height: 100px;">
  <div id="inner">
    <button onclick="check('outer2')">check if<br>scrollable</button>
  </div>
</div>
<div id="outer3" style="width: 100px; height: 180px;">
  <div id="inner">
    <button onclick="check('outer3')">check if<br>scrollable</button>
  </div>
</div>

You need element.scrollHeight. Compare it with $(element).height().

Ugh everyone's answers on here are incomplete, and lets stop using jquery in SO answers already please. Check jquery's documentation if you want info on jquery.

Here's a generalized pure-javascript function for testing whether or not an element has scrollbars in a complete way:

// dimension - Either 'y' or 'x'
// computedStyles - (Optional) Pass in the domNodes computed styles if you already have it (since I hear its somewhat expensive)
function hasScrollBars(domNode, dimension, computedStyles) {
    dimension = dimension.toUpperCase()
    if(dimension === 'Y') {
        var length = 'Height'
    } else {
        var length = 'Width'
    }

    var scrollLength = 'scroll'+length
    var clientLength = 'client'+length
    var overflowDimension = 'overflow'+dimension

    var hasVScroll = domNode[scrollLength] > domNode[clientLength]


    // Check the overflow and overflowY properties for "auto" and "visible" values
    var cStyle = computedStyles || getComputedStyle(domNode)
    return hasVScroll && (cStyle[overflowDimension] == "visible"
                         || cStyle[overflowDimension] == "auto"
                         )
          || cStyle[overflowDimension] == "scroll"
}

I made a new custom :pseudo selector for jQuery to test whether an item has one of the following css properties:

1. overflow: [scroll|auto]
2. overflow-x: [scroll|auto]
3. overflow-y: [scroll|auto]

I wanted to find the closest scrollable parent of another element so I also wrote another little jQuery plugin to find the closest parent with overflow.

This solution probably doesn't perform the best, but it does appear to work. I used it in conjunction with the $.scrollTo plugin. Sometimes I need to know whether an element is inside another scrollable container. In that case I want to scroll the parent scrollable element vs the window.

I probably should have wrapped this up in a single plugin and added the psuedo selector as a part of the plugin, as well as exposing a 'closest' method to find the closest (parent) scrollable container.

Anywho....here it is.

$.isScrollable jQuery plugin:

$.fn.isScrollable = function(){
    var elem = $(this);
    return (
    elem.css('overflow') == 'scroll'
        || elem.css('overflow') == 'auto'
        || elem.css('overflow-x') == 'scroll'
        || elem.css('overflow-x') == 'auto'
        || elem.css('overflow-y') == 'scroll'
        || elem.css('overflow-y') == 'auto'
    );
};

$(':scrollable') jQuery pseudo selector:

$.expr[":"].scrollable = function(a) {
    var elem = $(a);
    return elem.isScrollable();
};

$.scrollableparent() jQuery plugin:

$.fn.scrollableparent = function(){
    return $(this).closest(':scrollable') || $(window); //default to $('html') instead?
};

Implementation is pretty simple

//does a specific element have overflow scroll?
var somedivIsScrollable = $(this).isScrollable();
//use :scrollable psuedo selector to find a collection of child scrollable elements
var scrollableChildren = $(this).find(':scrollable');
//use $.scrollableparent to find closest scrollable container
var scrollableparent = $(this).scrollableparent();

UPDATE: I found that Robert Koritnik already came up with a much more powerful :scrollable pseudo selector that will identify the scrollable axes and height of scrollable containers, as a part of his $.scrollintoview() jQuery plugin. scrollintoview plugin

Here is his fancy pseudo selector (props):

    $.extend($.expr[":"], {

    scrollable: function (element, index, meta, stack) {

        var direction = converter[typeof (meta[3]) === "string" && meta[3].toLowerCase()] || converter.both;

        var styles = (document.defaultView && document.defaultView.getComputedStyle ? document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(element, null) : element.currentStyle);

        var overflow = {

            x: scrollValue[styles.overflowX.toLowerCase()] || false,

            y: scrollValue[styles.overflowY.toLowerCase()] || false,

            isRoot: rootrx.test(element.nodeName)

        };



        // check if completely unscrollable (exclude HTML element because it's special)

        if (!overflow.x && !overflow.y && !overflow.isRoot)

        {

            return false;

        }



        var size = {

            height: {

                scroll: element.scrollHeight,

                client: element.clientHeight

            },

            width: {

                scroll: element.scrollWidth,

                client: element.clientWidth

            },

            // check overflow.x/y because iPad (and possibly other tablets) don't dislay scrollbars

            scrollableX: function () {

                return (overflow.x || overflow.isRoot) && this.width.scroll > this.width.client;

            },

            scrollableY: function () {

                return (overflow.y || overflow.isRoot) && this.height.scroll > this.height.client;

            }

        };

        return direction.y && size.scrollableY() || direction.x && size.scrollableX();

    }

});

A No Framework JavaScript Approach, checks for both vertical and horizontal

 /*
 * hasScrollBars
 * 
 * Checks to see if an element has scrollbars
 * 
 * @returns {object}
 */
Element.prototype.hasScrollBars = function() {
    return {"vertical": this.scrollHeight > this.style.height, "horizontal": this.scrollWidth > this.style.width};
}

Use it like this

if(document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].hasScrollBars().vertical){
            alert("vertical");
}

        if(document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].hasScrollBars().horizontal){
            alert("horizontal");
}

Answer 6

Maybe a more simple solution.

if ($(document).height() > $(window).height()) {
    // scrollbar
}
