I have an website and some problems with the scrollbar.
What I want I can best explain with this image.
But I can't get the scrollbar like this.
I have tried some, here is the jsfiddle
In this fiddle I also have:
div[role="main"]
{
overflow-y: scroll;
margin: 60px 0;
}
But this margin is not OK, how do I know what margin I need without knowing the header and footer height.
This can be slowed by using padding and box-sizing = border-box on body ( with body height 100% it will count padding into height, so the box with scroll will be exactly between header and footer)
html {
overflow: hidden;
height: 100%;
}
body {
padding: 60px 0px;
height: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
div[role="main"] {
overflow-y: scroll;
height: 100%;
}
see http://jsfiddle.net/wPucQ/
EDIT: Added forgotten HTML tag in code
You need to give the scrollable element a height so the scroll-bar position can be calculated.
div[role="main"]
{
height:400px;
overflow-y: scroll;
margin: 60px 0;
}

Try to mention Min-height or height for this div
div[role="main"]{ overflow-y: scroll; margin: 60px 0; min-height:400px;}
See my fiddle for entire logic fiddle

Jquery code:
var doc_height = $(window).innerHeight();
var header_height = $("header").height();
var footer_height = $("footer").height();
var div_height = doc_height - (header_height + footer_height);
$("#content").css({
"height": (div_height - footer_height) + "px",
"margin-bottom": footer_height + "px"
});
alert($("#content").height());
