Overflow

Overflow utilities control what happens when content is bigger than its box: overflow-auto scrolls when needed, overflow-hidden clips, overflow-visible lets content spill and overflow-scroll always shows scrollbars. overflow-x-* and overflow-y-* handle each axis separately, ideal for wide tables and side-scrolling rows.

1The four overflow values

overflow-auto, overflow-hidden, overflow-visible and overflow-scroll on boxes of fixed height.

Friendly people answer your questions quickly, by phone, chat or email. We keep things simple, so you can focus on what matters to you. Companies can match employee donations and double their impact.

Volunteers give their time in schools, shelters and food banks every week. Our team has done this many times, so you never have to guess. We measure success by how many donors come back and tell their friends.
