hidden

Hello, my question is

How can I set overflow hidden in cases where the html go's outside the screen

Right now I have set html {overflow: hidden;} in the head tag off the page. So, it's hidden all the time

In my particular case the errors that I show in the registration process cannot be seen on my 13inch laptop, but I don't want to show the scrollbars all the time.

That's why I want it to set(or unset) based on the fact if there is overflow or not.

What would be the best way?

thanks, Richard
