Check whether HTML element has scrollbars

by

I found this somewhere a couple of weeks ago. It worked for me.

var div = document.getElementById('container_div_id');

var hasHorizontalScrollbar = div.scrollWidth > div.clientWidth;
var hasVerticalScrollbar = div.scrollHeight > div.clientHeight;

/* you'll get true/false */
