Following up to my previous question (Add a scrollbar to a <textarea>) on how to always see the scrollbar in a <textarea>, I am now wondering how you would set it so that there is no scrollbar in the <textarea>, even when the text overflows. To scroll down with this, you would use the arrow keys or the mouse to navigate through the text.
How can I do this?
Try the following, not sure which will work for all browsers or the browser you are working with, but it would be best to try all:
<textarea style="overflow:auto"></textarea>
Or
<textarea style="overflow:hidden"></textarea>
...As suggested above
You can also try adding this, I never used it before, just saw it posted on a site today:
<textarea style="resize:none"></textarea>
This last option would remove the ability to resize the textarea. You can find more information on the CSS resize property here
style="overflow: hidden" and style="resize: none" were the ones that did the trick.
For MS IE 10 you'll probably find you need to do the following:
-ms-overflow-style: none
See the following:

Give a class for eg: scroll to the textarea tag. And in the css add this property -
.scroll::-webkit-scrollbar {
display: none;
}It worked for without missing the scroll part
Hide scroll bar, but while still being able to scroll using CSS
To hide the scrollbar use -webkit- because it is supported by major browsers (Google Chrome, Safari or newer versions of Opera). There are many other options for the other browsers which are listed below:
-webkit- (Chrome, Safari, newer versions of Opera):
.element::-webkit-scrollbar { width: 0 !important }
-moz- (Firefox):
.element { overflow: -moz-scrollbars-none; }
-ms- (Internet Explorer +10):
.element { -ms-overflow-style: none; }

I was able to get rid of my scroll bar on the body of text by removing my max-height attribute of my class.
