IE8 overflow:scroll bug
Since this wasn’t immediately apparent to me when googling “IE8 overflow scroll” I figured I should post the solution to get more awareness.
Using overflow: scroll;
and a max-height
on an element causes the entire webpage to display white. That’s right. On any element.
Changing the overflow
to auto
fixed the problem.
I hope that helps anyone in the future. I hope that the world can stop using IE8 soon. How ridiculous.
