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.

overflow-auto
We measure success by how many clients come back and tell their friends. Senior designers lead every project from the first sketch to the final file. We measure success in sign-ups, sales and brand recall, not just awards. We test early with real users, so the final design works on the first day.
