CSS - scrollable div with hidden scroll bar

Question

I can't get my navigation scroll to work without scroll bars.

I found many examples here, but they are not working.

I tired parent class with overflow: hidden; and child class with overflow-y: auto;

Does anybody knows what's wrong in my CSS?

Here is the snippet:

html, body {
  background-color: #111111;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  color: #fff;
  font : 12px Arial,Courier New,Tahoma;
}

.layoutWrapper {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  display: flex;
   
}

.layoutHead {
  width: 100%;
  height: 200px;
  background-color: #171616;
  color: #444;
  line-height: 200px;
  font-size: 100px;
  text-align: center;
}

.layoutNav {
  background-color: #333333;
  width: 250px;
  height: 100%;
  overflow: hidden;
}

.layoutNavWrapper {
  width: 250px;
  height: 100%;
  overflow-y: scroll;
}

.layoutNavWrapper ul {
  width: 240px;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0 0 0 5px;
}

.layoutNavWrapper ul li {
  width: 240px;

You can try this to hide the scrollbar.

::-webkit-scrollbar {
    display: none;
}

Here is a previous answer: Hide scroll bar, but while still being able to scroll.

To fix yours, I've adapted the above answer thus:

.layoutNav {
  background-color: #333333;
  width: 250px;
  height: 100%;
        overflow: hidden;
}

.layoutNavWrapper {
  width: 250px;
  height: 100%;
  overflow-y: scroll;
        overflow-x: hidden;
        padding-right: 17px; /* Increase/decrease this value for cross-browser compatibility */
}

Here is a working pen.

You just need to add some padding-right in order to hide the scroll-bars.

html, body {
  background-color: #111111;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  color: #fff;
  font : 12px Arial,Courier New,Tahoma;
}

.layoutWrapper {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  display: flex;
}

.layoutHead {
  width: 100%;
  height: 200px;
  background-color: #171616;
  color: #444;
  line-height: 200px;
  font-size: 100px;
  text-align: center;
}

.layoutNav {
  background-color: #333333;
  width: 250px;
  height: 100%;
  overflow: hidden;
}

.layoutNavWrapper {
  width: 250px;
  height: 100%;
    padding-right: 15px; /* added */
  overflow-y: scroll;
}

.layoutNavWrapper ul {
  width: 240px;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0 0 0 5px;
}

.layoutNavWrapper ul li {
  width: 240px;
  height: 40px;
  line-height: 40px;
  margin: 5px 0 0 0;
  list-style-type: none;
}

.layoutNavWrapper ul li a {
  color: #e8ecf3;
  background: #212020 url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAAECAYAAACp8Z5+AAAAEklEQVQImWMICAhoYCAK4FQJAH+kAuF/Y9FHAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) repeat;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
  width: 220px;
  height: 40px; 
  padding-left: 20px;
}

.layoutNavWrapper ul li a:hover {
  background: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAAECAYAAACp8Z5+AAAAEklEQVQImWPIzc31ZSAK4FQJAI0YAylSFqZ7AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) repeat;

For Firefox quantum: .your-class{ scrollbar-color: transparent transparent; }

For Safari, Chrome: ::-webkit-scrollbar { display: none; }
