Css – disable horizontal scroll on mobile web

cssmobile-website

I'm having an issue where horizontal scrolls appear on certain phones for my site.
I tried to put overflow-x: hidden but it's not working.
The width is auto, so that it will actually automatically resize the web to suits the screen size. All other phones are fine except when viewed in blackberry, nokia e52, and Windows mobile, the horizontal scroll will appear.

Any advice?

Simply add this CSS:

html, body {
  overflow-x: hidden;
}
body {
  position: relative
}

Html – Prevent wrapping of span or div

Try this:

.slideContainer {
    overflow-x: scroll;
    white-space: nowrap;
}
.slide {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 600px;
    white-space: normal;
}

<div class="slideContainer">
    <span class="slide">Some content</span>
    <span class="slide">More content. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</span>
    <span class="slide">Even more content!</span>
</div>

Note that you can omit .slideContainer { overflow-x: scroll; } (which browsers may or may not support when you read this), and you'll get a scrollbar on the window instead of on this container.

The key here is display: inline-block. This has decent cross-browser support nowadays, but as usual, it's worth testing in all target browsers to be sure.

Css – How to disable text selection highlighting

UPDATE January, 2017:

According to Can I use, the user-select is currently supported in all browsers except Internet Explorer 9 and its earlier versions (but sadly still needs a vendor prefix).

These are all of the available correct CSS variations:

.noselect {
  -webkit-touch-callout: none; /* iOS Safari */
    -webkit-user-select: none; /* Safari */
     -khtml-user-select: none; /* Konqueror HTML */
       -moz-user-select: none; /* Old versions of Firefox */
        -ms-user-select: none; /* Internet Explorer/Edge */
            user-select: none; /* Non-prefixed version, currently
                                  supported by Chrome, Edge, Opera and Firefox */
}

<p>
  Selectable text.
</p>
<p class="noselect">
  Unselectable text.
</p>

Note that user-select is in standardization process (currently in a W3C working draft). It is not guaranteed to work everywhere and there might be differences in implementation among browsers. Also, browsers can drop support for it in the future.

More information can be found in Mozilla Developer Network documentation.

The values of this attribute are none, text, toggle, element, elements, all and inherit.
