How to Get Rid of Horizontal Scroll Bars on MySpace

Your MySpace profile page contains various sections that display information you choose to share. When the data exceeds the boundaries of a section, a horizontal scroll bar automatically appears at the bottom so visitors can see all of the text. If you do not want this feature, you have the option to get rid of it by adding a combination of HTML and CSS code to your page. Use the tools in your MySpace account to remove horizontal scroll bars.

Instructions

    • 1

      Log in to your MySpace account, click the "Profile" link in the menu bar, then click the "Customize" button that appears under your name.

      Click the "Modules & Marquee" button that displays at the top of the page, then click the "Modules" or "Marquee" button that appears. A marquee identifies the space between the header and start of your profile content, while a module is the specific section, such as Details or Blurbs, where your information is found. Click an option in the dialog that opens to determine where you want to hide the horizontal scroll bars on your MySpace profile.

      Hover your mouse over the new marquee or module on your page and click the "Settings" link that appears. This brings up a text box where you enter your HTML code.

      Enter "<div style="overflow: hidden"><div>" in the text box and position your cursor between the div tags. Type your content like so:

      <div style="overflow: hidden">
      This is your content without the horizontal scroll bar.
      </div>

      Setting the overflow attribute to "hidden" ensures the horizontal scroll feature no longer appears.
