Overflow

Control what happens when content too big either scroll/clip

  • visible - Default. The overflow is not clipped. The content renders outside the element's box

  • hidden - The overflow is clipped, and the rest of the content will be invisible

  • scroll - The overflow is clippgit ed, and a scrollbar is added to see the rest of the content

  • auto - Similar to scroll, but it adds scrollbars only when necessary

Only happens if block display with height, or rather if some parent has a defined height that is not based on contents (max-height doesn't count?)

The scrollbar actually takes up space in the div

Make sure container is overflow hidden so it constrains the inner divs, then you can add auto(scrollbar) to the child

Text-Overflow

overflow: hidden;
white-space:nowrap;
text-overflow: hidden;

Advanced

On mobile, you can run into weird bouncing issues with the window scrolling instead of the content
