CSS box shadow on container div causes scrollbars

Question

I have a website with the following setup:

Answer 1

On the parent element of #container, adding overflow: visible may fix the problem.

Though as general advice for the footer at the bottom, you may want to instead forget about setting the min-height on #container and instead set footer with position: absolute and bottom: 0 and give #container a margin-bottom so it doesn't ever get hidden behind the footer. If you're going for having the footer at the bottom of the window just use position: fixed instead.

Hope it helps.
