Menu
CSS Conflict
html {overflow-x:hidden;}
with
Web Browser Command
Ctrl + F or find() or keyword search
Problems:
Site is horizontal scroll design that jumps to previous(Left) or next(Right) to a predetermined width/step/section without a visible horizontal scroll bar.
document.onkeydown = function(evt) {
evt = evt || window.event;
switch (evt.keyCode) {
case 37:
leftArrowPressed();
window.location.href = '#one';
break;
case 39:
rightArrowPressed();
window.location.href = '#two';
break;
}
};
When I invoke a Ctrl+F to find words, the page will not follow the highlighter off screen left or right. Except when Overflow-x: visible and that only scrolls to the word not the entire screen width/step/section that the word is in.
Overflow-x:hidden; removes the browsers ability to scroll horizontally;Overflow-x:visible; browsers only scrolls to word not next section when in horizontal overflow;
Can I follow the browser ctrl+f word highlighter feature at predetermined width steps/sections?
Can I invoke the key-press when ctrl+f word highlighter moves off screen?
Is it possible to capture the highlighted word coordinates( x , y)?

Overflow-x and overflow-y had always problems, even in the newest browsers. Both can have "hidden", "visible" and "scrollbar" ("auto" is only a combo of "visible" and "scrollbar"), which is thus 9 combinations.
But in the practice only 5 of them works, I reply: even in the newest Chrome! And what yet worser is: there is a difference between the browsers, which 5 is this...
Sometimes (in depends on your actual problem) a workaround is possible, if you combine overflow-x, overflow-y and overflow. Sometimes some JS-tricking is the solution. General and beautiful solution doesn't exist.
ctrl/f has with it probably nothing direct to do, it is an indirect cause of your problem, because the body of your page will be probably resized, when the search-widget of the browser appears. You could reproduce this problem probably with a vertical resize of the browser window, too.
