Setting the height of elements to 100% always results in the appearance of a scrollbar on

Here is a simplified version of my HTML:

<div class="container">
    <div class="box1">sample text</div>
    <div class="box2">sample text</div>
    <div class="box3">sample text</div>
</div>

And this is the CSS I have applied:

* { padding: 0; margin: 0; }
html, body { height: 100%; }
.container { min-height: 100%; }
/* box1, box2, and box3 have float:left and assigned widths. Also set min-height:100%; */

I have tried various solutions but still see a scrollbar. Any suggestions?

Sincerely, Martti Laine

Answer №1

Have you experimented with 

overflow:hidden;

Answer №2

Consider using the following code:

html, body, .container { 
  overflow-y:hidden;
}

Just a heads up, it is recommended to use #container instead of .container if there is only one instance on the page.
