Stop wide image from producing horizontal scrollbar

Question

On a webpage I have a wide image, which should take up the right 50% of the screen. It appears as I want it to, but it produces an unwanted horizontal scroll bar. I don't want the image to scale down, I want it to remain looking exactly as it does, but to not produce a horizontal scroll bar. How could I do this?

HTML:

<div class="image">
</div>

CSS:

.image {
    position:absolute;
    left:50%;
    background-image: url('Images/banneriPhone.png');
    width:774px;
    height:759px;
}

EDIT: I had some suggestions that i remove the overflow option. This didn't work, so i changed the code around (put the image in the html) but this still didn't work. Here's the CSSDesk link:

Answer 1

Use this in your CSS to hide the scrollbar of the CSS class image:

.image {
    position:absolute;
    left:50%;
    background-image: url('Images/banneriPhone.png');
    width:774px;
    height:759px;
    overflow-x:hidden;
    overflow-y:hidden;
}

overflow-x will hide the horizontal scrollbar

overflow-y will hide the vertical scrollbar

Edit: Here you can see some example of the overflow property: http://www.brunildo.org/test/Overflowxy2.html

To remove the scrollbar on the image, I did the following and it worked. Add the below to your class where the image is on CSS:

overflow:hidden;
