How to make scrollbar disappear when not needed?

Use the overflow-y: auto; CSS attribute. it then only shows the scrollbar when required

how to hide a vertical scroll bar when not needed

overflow: auto (or overflow-y: auto) is the correct way to go.

The problem is that your text area is taller than your div. The div ends up cutting off the textbox, so even though it looks like it should start scrolling when the text is taller than 159px it won't start scrolling until the text is taller than 400px which is the height of the textbox.

Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/G9rfq/1/

I set overflow:auto on the text box, and made the textbox the same size as the div.

Also I don't believe it's valid to have a div inside a label, the browser will render it, but it might cause some funky stuff to happen. Also your div isn't closed.

Hide scrollbar in pre if not needed

Use:

overflow-x: auto;

auto tells the browser to only show a scrollbar if the content exceeds the width of the box.

Hide scroll bar, but while still being able to scroll

Just a test which is working fine.

#parent{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
}

#child{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    overflow-y: scroll;
    padding-right: 17px; /* Increase/decrease this value for cross-browser compatibility */
    box-sizing: content-box; /* So the width will be 100% + 17px */
}

Working Fiddle

JavaScript:

Since the scrollbar width differs in different browsers, it is better to handle it with JavaScript. If you do Element.offsetWidth - Element.clientWidth, the exact scrollbar width will show up.

Or

Using Position: absolute,

#parent{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
}

#child{
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: -17px; /* Increase/Decrease this value for cross-browser compatibility */
    overflow-y: scroll;
}

Based on this answer, I created a simple scroll plugin.

CSS - Hide scroll bar in div without fixed width

You can add a div wrap around you current div and make the wrapper div overflow: hidden. Change the inner div's with to `calc(100% + 20px).

For example:

private hideScrollbar(): void {
  this.parentNode = this.el.nativeElement.parentNode;
  this.wrapper = document.createElement('div');
  this.wrapper.style.width = this.el.nativeElement.offsetWidth + 'px';
  this.wrapper.style.height = this.el.nativeElement.offsetHeight + 'px';
  this.wrapper.style.overflow = 'hidden';
  this.el.nativeElement.style.width = 'calc(100% + 20px)';
  this.el.nativeElement.style.height = 'calc(100% + 20px)';
  // set the wrapper as child (instead of the element)
  this.parentNode.replaceChild(this.wrapper, this.el.nativeElement);
  // set element as child of wrapper
  this.wrapper.appendChild(this.el.nativeElement);
}

You can find more details of the above code in Angular2-drag-scroll
