Scroll left and right to see if any elements overflow outside the viewport.To detect in the Designer whether your project might exhibit unwanted horizontal scrolling: You can check for this in the Designer and the published site. In other words, look for extra space or elements hanging off the edge of your design’s boundary as you scroll. However, when testing for unwanted horizontal scrolling, be on the lookout for anything that makes your layout look or feel like the boundary (usually the right side of your design) isn't functioning as you would like. Horizontal scrolling isn’t always a bad thing. Unwanted horizontal scrolling can be caused by a different scenario than the 2 mentioned above, but layout and animation-related overflow tend to show up the most. The initial position of a Heading with an interaction applied to it starts the Heading off the screen and causes overflow.

Even though the Heading ends up in the right spot after the animation has completed, its initial position causes the page to have overflow. When the page loads, the initial position of the Heading might be off the screen.


For example, you have a Heading flying in from the side. Interaction or animations that start offscreen.The design layout has an element that is sized or positioned in a way that pushes it off the screen and outside the viewport.Many things can cause unwanted horizontal scrolling in your design, but generally it's caused by 1 of 2 things:
#Overflow hidden how to
Not all horizontal scrolling is a bad thing, but if it’s something that doesn’t work with your design, we’ll walk you through how to stop it using Overflow: hidden, responsive design, and mindful interaction setup. (See our previous blog posts here and here.) As a matter of best practices, before charging additional fees for certain payment methods, debt collectors and payment processors should have business processes in place to ensure such fees are authorized by the underlying agreement or otherwise permitted by another law.Sometimes elements on a page can exist outside the viewport, and an unintended side effect can be horizontal or sideways scrolling that shows extra whitespace around your design. regulators have recently shown greater focus and scrutiny on illegal junk fees, including pay-to-pay fees, across multiple consumer finance industries. Putting It Into Practice: The CFPB and other U.S. While most debt collectors do not charge such illegal pay-to-pay fees, the CFPB reports that some debt collectors do, even if it is cheaper and faster for them to process payments by phone or online than by paper checks delivered via mail or in person. Payment processors: Debt collectors can violate Section 808 if the payment processor charges unlawful pay-to-pay fees by, for example, charging convenience fees to pay by phone.The Bureau further clarifies that even though some courts have interpreted the FDCPA to allow collection of fees under this “separate agreement” theory, the CFPB declines to follow such interpretation. Silence in the law: If both the underlying agreement creating the debt and other laws are silent, the fee is prohibited, even if such amounts are covered under a separate, valid agreement under state contract law.Scope of fees: Section 808(1) permits collection of an amount only if the underlying agreement creating the debt expressly permits the fee and is not otherwise prohibited by another law, or if the amount is expressly permitted by law, even if the underlying agreement creating the debt is silent on this point.In interpreting FDCPA Section 808, the Bureau’s advisory opinion explains that: On June 29, the CFPB issued an advisory opinion affirming that the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Regulation F prohibit debt collectors from collecting pay-to-pay or “convenience fees” imposed for making a payment in a particular way, such as by phone or online, when such fees are not expressly authorized by the underlying agreement or otherwise permitted by law.
