footer hiding div with scrollbar when resizing the browser from top to bottom

Question

I have a problem when I try to use a div with internal scroll on my page.

what happens: if I resize the browser up the scrool arrow disappears below the footer.

i wish this didn’t happen because when the user scrolls to read the text it can’t go to the end because the arrow disappears.

I put pictures in attachment and my example here, I spent all day and could not solve it.

orbigado to all.

Answer 1

Instead of using your 60% scroll, use something like:

heigth: calc(100% - Npx);

Where N is the sum of the remaining parts. Don’t forget that browsers use the Calc differently.
