> I checked the "workaround" in jQuery UI, and it seems to me that it just checks the value of overflow? Is that enough for the usecases? I mean, having overflow: auto doesn't mean the element would have scrollbar, let alone whether it would be scrollable. (Actually having overflow: hidden doesn't even mean the element being not scrollable given that author can implement custom scrollbar with setting overflow to hidden.)
@upsuper that's weird. I haven't looked at the code, but that seems very problematic. Wouldn't it be simpler determine if an element is "scrollable" by just doing
```js
if (parentElement.clientHeight < parentElement.scrollHeight) {
// element is scrollable parent
}
```
