VM84:4 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'el' (at VM84:4:1)Claude: [25/09/2026--20:12:00:149 AEST]
Line 4 was cut off when you pasted it. el.cli should be el.clientHeight) {, so the parser hit el on the next line inside an unclosed if ( and threw the error. Here's the corrected snippet:
document.querySelectorAll('*').forEach(el => {
const s = getComputedStyle(el);
if (s.overflowY !== 'visible' || s.position === 'fixed' || el.scrollHeight > el.clientHeight) {
el.style.overflow = 'visible';
el.style.height = 'auto';
el.style.maxHeight = 'none';
}
});Two things to watch for:
position: fixed. If the aim is a full-length print or PDF, headers and sidebars will stay pinned on every page. Add if (s.position === 'fixed') el.style.position = 'static'; inside the if block to stop that.el.scrollHeight > el.clientHeight is also true for many inline and flex elements, so some layouts may jump around. If that happens, remove that condition and keep only the overflowY check.make the js downloadable bc i think the error is introduced when i copy iy

I've saved the snippet as unclip_overflow.js, and it passes a syntax check. Open it in a text editor and copy the whole file, or drag it into DevTools → Sources → Snippets. Either way the line-wrap truncation can't happen.
If Chrome shows "Warning: Don't paste code…" and blocks the paste, type allow pasting and press Enter first. After that, pasting works normally.

This file type cannot be opened.

The chat preview can't open .js files, so I've saved the same code as unclip_overflow.txt, which should open in the viewer. Its contents are identical to the .js file, which passed a syntax check. Copy it from there, or download it and open it in any text editor.
If the copy still comes out broken, check the start of line 3. It should read if (s.overflowY with no line break before el.clientHeight) {.
