How to know whether there is overflow in CSS
Is there any way to find the overflow in CSS?

I have two table using two different style.
1. Header text
2.Data



I have scenario where size of table which has data may increase or decrease based upon resultset.
I am using "overflow:auto",so that vertical bar will appear when data is huge in table,so that user can see all the records.

This creates a problem in alignment of header and databody when there is no scroll bar.As width of databody moves with a little (width=scrollbar) to the right and mismatch with the header

If scrollbar appears alignement is OK between header and content as scrollbar appears sidewise with content.

Try running the exmple mentioned below for both option

1.Without scrollbar

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
div.head
{
background-color: #FFFFCC;
border: 1px solid #000000;
position: absolute;
height: 25px;
width: 385px;
left: 50px;
top: 22px;
}
div.scroll {
background-color: #FFFFCC;
border: 1px solid #000000;
overflow-y: auto;
position: absolute;
height: 100px;
width: 400px;
left: 50px;
top: 50px;
}

</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="head">
<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td>Header1</td>
<td>Header2</td>
</tr>
</table>

</table>
</div>
<div class="scroll">
<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>


2. With Scroll bar

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
div.head
{
background-color: #FFFFCC;
border: 1px solid #000000;
position: absolute;
height: 25px;
width: 385px;
left: 50px;
top: 22px;
}
div.scroll {
background-color: #FFFFCC;
border: 1px solid #000000;
overflow-y: auto;
position: absolute;
height: 100px;
width: 400px;
left: 50px;
top: 50px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="head">
<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td>Header1</td>
<td>Header2</td>
</tr>
</table>
</table>
</div>
<div class="scroll">
<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>content</td>
<td>content</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>

you could always turn overflow to scroll regardless of whether its needed or not.

My requirement is that I should show scroll bar when more data is available.

If I use scroll I will be getting scrollbar with disabled option if data fits in the window.

yeah but it solves your alignment problem!

the only other thing I can think of is testing against the editable width of the div with javascript but that would have to be DOM scripted - i don't think there are global functions to do this.
