Reveal JS Unable to scroll in the slides

Question

I'm using Reveal JS for making a presentation.

If I put more text in the tag, it is going below the screen hidden from view. But there is no scroll bar to the right. Wondering if I can do a css fix to bring in a vertical scroll bar and make the hidden content visible by scrolling.

Here is the CSS to be changed (I think)

.reveal .slides section .fragment {
    opacity: 0;

    -webkit-transition: all .2s ease;
       -moz-transition: all .2s ease;
        -ms-transition: all .2s ease;
         -o-transition: all .2s ease;
            transition: all .2s ease;
}
    .reveal .slides section .fragment.visible {
        opacity: 1;
    }

.reveal .slides section .fragment.grow {
    opacity: 1;
}
    .reveal .slides section .fragment.grow.visible {
        -webkit-transform: scale( 1.3 );
           -moz-transform: scale( 1.3 );
            -ms-transform: scale( 1.3 );
             -o-transform: scale( 1.3 );
                transform: scale( 1.3 );
    }

.reveal .slides section .fragment.shrink {
    opacity: 1;
}
    .reveal .slides section .fragment.shrink.visible {
        -webkit-transform: scale( 0.7 );
           -moz-transform: scale( 0.7 );
            -ms-transform: scale( 0.7 );
             -o-transform: scale( 0.7 );
                transform: scale( 0.7 );
    }

.reveal .slides section .fragment.zoom-in {
    opacity: 0;

    -webkit-transform: scale( 0.1 );
       -moz-transform: scale( 0.1 );
        -ms-transform: scale( 0.1 );
         -o-transform: scale( 0.1 );
            transform: scale( 0.1 );
}

    .reveal .slides section .fragment.zoom-in.visible {
        opacity: 1;

        -webkit-transform: scale( 1 );
           -moz-transform: scale( 1 );
            -ms-transform: scale( 1 );
             -o-transform: scale( 1 );
                transform: scale( 1 );
    }

.reveal .slides section .fragment.roll-in {
    opacity: 0;

    -webkit-transform: rotateX( 90deg );
       -moz-transform: rotateX( 90deg );
        -ms-transform: rotateX( 90deg );
         -o-transform: rotateX( 90deg );
            transform: rotateX( 90deg );
}
    .reveal .slides section .fragment.roll-in.visible {
        opacity: 1;

        -webkit-transform: rotateX( 0 );
           -moz-transform: rotateX( 0 );
            -ms-transform: rotateX( 0 );
             -o-transform: rotateX( 0 );
                transform: rotateX( 0 );
    }

.reveal .slides section .fragment.fade-out {
    opacity: 1;
}
    .reveal .slides section .fragment.fade-out.visible {
        opacity: 0;
    }

.reveal .slides section .fragment.semi-fade-out {
    opacity: 1;
}
    .reveal .slides section .fragment.semi-fade-out.visible {
        opacity: 0.5;
    }

.reveal .slides section .fragment.highlight-red,
.reveal .slides section .fragment.highlight-green,
.reveal .slides section .fragment.highlight-blue {
    opacity: 1;
}
    .reveal .slides section .fragment.highlight-red.visible {
        color: #ff2c2d
    }
    .reveal .slides section .fragment.highlight-green.visible {
        color: #17ff2e;
    }
    .reveal .slides section .fragment.highlight-blue.visible {
        color: #1b91ff;
    }

I am just wondering if you've fixed that or not? – Efficacy

@Efficacy Unfortunately I have not. I wish I were a designer as opposed to an engineer sometimes :) – Jennelljenner

Answer 1

I solved this with:

.scrollable {
    overflow-y: auto  !important;
    overflow-x: hidden !important;
    height: 700px;
}

add the upper class to a slide tag (section) to make it scrollable.

Can you clarify what this means: > add the upper class to a slide tag (section) to make it scrollable. Thanks! – Spate

@Spate I'm also not proficient in js, but I got it to work by putting above code in between <style></style> and then starting a slide that should be scrollable with <section class="scrollable">. There are also answers for getting the scrollbar automatically everywhere where the content is to big. – Flagstone
