How Do I Add a Scroll Bar in Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:31 am

Adding a scroll bar to your Squarespace website is a simple way to add an element of style and functionality. By default, Squarespace does not include a scroll bar on your pages, but you can easily add one using the HTML

tag. Here’s how:

1. Log in to your Squarespace account and navigate to the page you want to add a scroll bar to.

2.

In the Page Editor, click on the “Code” tab.

3. Paste the following code into the Code Block:

<p style="overflow:auto;">Your content here</p>

4. Replace “Your content here” with the content you want to scroll.

This can be text, images, or anything else you want to add.

5. Click “Save & Exit” to save your changes.

Now when you view your page, you should see a scroll bar appear next to your content. You can adjust the width of the scroll bar by changing the value of the “overflow” property in the code.

For example, setting it to “overflow:scroll” will make the scroll bar always visible, even if there is no content to scroll. Or, setting it to “overflow:hidden” will hide the scroll bar completely.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with HTML and CSS code, we do not recommend adding a scroll bar to your Squarespace website. Doing so could result in unforeseen coding conflicts that could break your website.
