The overflow property controls what happens to content that breaks outside of its bounds: imagine a div in which you’ve explicitly set to be 200px wide, but contains an image that is 300px wide. That image will stick out of the div and be visible by default. Whereas if you set the overflow value to hidden , the image will cut off at 200px.

• visible : content is not clipped when it proceeds outside its box. This is the default value of the property
• hidden : overflowing content will be hidden.
• scroll : similar to hidden except users will be able to scroll through the hidden content.
• clip : content is clipped when it proceeds outside its box. This can be used with overflow-clip-margin to set the clipped area.
• auto : if the content proceeds outside its box then that content will be hidden whilst a scroll bar should be visible for users to read the rest of the content.
• initial : uses the default value which is visible
• inherit : sets the overflow to the value of its parent element.

Remember that text will naturally wrap at the end of an element (unless white-space is changed) so text will rarely be the cause of overflow. Unless a height is set, text will just push an element taller as well. Overflow comes into play more commonly when explicit widths and heights are set and it would be undesirable for any content to spill out, or when scrolling is explicitly being avoided.

If you don’t set the overflow property at all, the default is visible. So in general, there is no reason to explicitly set this property to visible unless you are overriding it from being set elsewhere.

The important thing to remember here is that even though the content is visible outside of the box, that content does not affect the flow of the page. For example:

Generally, you shouldn’t be setting static heights on boxes with web text in them anyway, so it shouldn’t come up.

The opposite of the default visible is hidden . This literally hides any content that extends beyond the box.

Of note with this value is that you get BOTH horizontal and vertical scrollbars no matter what, even if the content requires only one or the other.

iOS’ momentum scrolling can be enabled for this value with -webkit-overflow-scrolling .

Note: In OS X Lion, when scrollbars are set to only show when being used, scroll behaves more like auto , in that only needed scrollbars will show up.

Auto overflow is very similar to the scroll value, only it solves the problem of getting scrollbars when you don’t need them. The scrollbars will only show up if there is content that actually breaks out of the element.

overflow-x and overflow-y

It’s also possible to manipulate the overflow of content horizontally or vertically with the overflow-x and overflow-y properties. For example in the demo below the horizontal overflow can be scrolled through whilst the text that extends beyond the height of the box is hidden:

Clearing floats

One of the more popular uses of setting overflow, strangely enough, is float clearing. Setting overflow doesn’t clear the float at the element, it self-clears . This means that the element with overflow (any value except visible ) will extend as large as it needs to encompass child elements inside that are floated (instead of collapsing), assuming that the height isn’t declared. Like this:

A better float clearing technique is the clearfix , as it doesn’t require you to alter the overflow property in a way you don’t need.

Generating block formatting context

It’s interesting to note that overflow will also create a new block formatting context which is useful if we want to align a block element next to a floated one. In the example below we show how a number of paragraphs will interact with a floated image by default and then we use overflow: hidden to align the text within its own box:

This comes from a great post by Nicole Sullivan which went on to inspire the media object .

Can scrollbars be styled with CSS?

You used to be able to style scrollbars in IE (v5.5?) but no more. You can style them now again in WebKit browsers. If you need cross-browser custom scrollbars, look to JavaScript .

If an element needs to have scrollbars appended to honor the overflow value, Firefox puts them outside the element, keeping the visible width/height as declared. IE puts the scrollbars inside, keeping the overall width/height as declared.

Good stuff… but I want to mention “overflow-x” and “overflow-y” CSS properties. These come in handy sometimes!

Really helpful, Thank you :D

Hi, in android os, overflow: scroll; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; not supported

Hello, I appreciate your effort! But I have been dealing with a problem. I have a five set of images in slideshow inside a div element and the layout of the webpage is properly fluid. Using overflow on the div element either adds scrollbars to the div element or cuts the image (which looks very awkward). Please suggest me something so that the image doesn’t overflow.

use overflow-x:hidden; this is more good

OMG, I wanna have your baby. I’ve been farting with this no scrollbar problem in IE9 for four hours now and your solution to take out overflow: visible and let the browser default to the scroll bars was positively bril. Thank you!

That is the big “stretch” these con artists are selling.

Any idea if this is possible when the container element does not have a fixed width? In other words, where the wrapper is not explicitly set but is instead defined by the page wrapper or body? (In other words, ‘100%’)

I want to create a scrollable subnavigation that can have a width as large as the viewport of a mobile device and may adapt depending on screen orientation.

I should clarify that it is to be scrollable along the x-axis only.

Was there a response to this question? I have the same requirement. Thanks, Bill. The question was “..is possible when the container element does not have a fixed width? In other words, where the wrapper is not explicitly set but is instead defined by the page wrapper or body? (In other words, ‘100%’)”

This is doubtlessly too late, but I sure would have appreciated an answer to this thread last week, so here’s what I figured out.

I was never able to get it working with 100% width in its containing element, but things went pretty easy once I switched to vw units (a unit that is 1% the size of the viewport). If you’re aiming to do the full width of the viewport anyway, 100vw is a fine alternative to 100% .

In my specific case, I actually wanted a horizontal scrollable to be placed next to a fixed-width column. Since using 100% kept giving me trouble, I put a calc() in to subtract out the column’s width from the total viewport: calc(100vw - 470px) .

I needed to use overflow-x: hidden and overflow-y: auto to remove the scrollbars in Chrome Android and unfortunately it also removes momentum scroll in Safari iOs. I add -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch and Safari iOs get momentum scroll back. It’s so great, it saved me hours and hours, thank you Chris !

nice artical…..

In the first case where I don’t want the image to stick out of the div and be visible The overflow: hidden doesn’t work for safari. Do you know a work around it? I read that safari has a bug with position and overflow. I took out position complete still it gives me the same issue can you please suggest any work around that you may have for Safari

example code:

Is there any idea how to make a position fixed object able to scroll within its container inside mobile?

NOTE: you cannot use overflow:auto or overflow:scroll on a <fieldset> tag, in Firefox at least. The same likely applies in other browsers. Stick your overflow CSS on a <div> instead.

My experience is that you can but why would you want to… The point of a fieldset I would think is to use in conjuration with a legend at which point if you did scroll your legend will be overlapping onto your text and looking bad. I agree with you that using overflow options in that scenario should be used on a div within the fieldset, and if you are not going to use a legend then use a div with a border instead of a fieldset.

Yeah, it wouldn’t necessarily be a good idea in the first place. I just wanted to document this here, as it took a bit of head scratching to figure out what was going on, and I didn’t want others to make the same mistake.

Of course, similar things can happen for <td> tags… i.e. there are some style rules that don’t work on certain tags (at all, or as expected, or behave differently in different browsers), in which case wrapping a <div> on the inside and styling it instead, is often the easiest solution.

Much informative.. I will surely appreciate the simple language explanation of complex techie stuff..

Isnt there a way in which the image from the example above scales down perfectly in size to fit the specified width of the container, just as the case of a responsive image sort of, with any part of it been cut off.

If it is a background image you can set the size to contain

… and if its an element, simply use the max-width: 100%; declaration.

Great!!! IT helped me..

Thanks for writing this!

Quick question, I’m using static heights and widths to make big clickable boxes on a responsive design. I set the properties to relative positioning with overflow hidden so that they align well, but in safari overflow hidden doesn’t work. Any ideas on making it work?

Meanwhile I’ll be using the clear fix you recommended and floating the elements. Thanks!

To remove the horizontal scrollbars when you don’t need them, I think you can do overflow-y: scroll; overflow-x: hidden; It leaves the vertical scrollbars while taking out the horizontal ones

How To Fix Horizontal Scrollbar on Mobile When Using Elementor?

Did you test your Elementor website on a mobile device and discover that it goes all over the place when you start scrolling down? Is it showing strange gaps on the sides while moving your finger left and right and an unwanted horizontal scrollbar?

If this is the issue you are experiencing, this document will show you how to fix the horizontal scrollbar issue on mobile devices.

Why Is This Happening?

This issue happens when there are one or more elements on the page that create an overflow. 

What’s overflow? With some Elementor custom design settings, you can “push” the widget content out of its column area. This part of the content that is found outside of its column area is called overflow. 

When either the widget content is too big or positioned to exceed the screen width on mobile devices, this creates a horizontal scroll issue. To also show this piece of content to website visitors, your browser will need to add a horizontal scrollbar. 

How To Fix This?

The horizontal scrollbar issue on mobile devices can be fixed by setting overflow to hidden. You can do this by using the Elementor Section settings or by adding CSS code.

Method 1: Fix Overflow Issue With Elementor Settings

You can use the Elementor section settings to set the overflow to hidden. If you have more than one section which creates overflow, you’ll have to do this for each of those sections. If this is happening on more than one page, you’ll have to repeat this on other pages.

Let’s show you how to do this:

Step 1 – Navigate to the page that has the overflow issue and click on “Edit with Elementor”;

Step 2 – Click on the “Edit Section” option to start editing the section with the overflow;

Step 3 – Under the “Layout” tab, scroll down to the “Overflow” dropdown and select the “Hidden” option;

Step 4 – Click on “Update” to save changes.

That’s it. You solved the issue for this section. 

Keep in mind here that this removes the overflow on all sides of the section. Thus, if you deliberately set some overflow on the top and bottom of the section, these will become hidden too. 

In this screenshot, you can see the overflow areas that got hidden:

Method 2: Fix Overflow Issue By Adding CSS Code

There are two cases in which this method would help you more than using the Elementor options:

• You need to keep the overflow on the top and bottom of the section while hiding it on the sides to avoid horizontal scroll;
• You have too many elements with the overflow issue, and you need a solution that would apply to your whole website.

Please follow these steps to remove overflow using a custom code:

Step 1 – Navigate to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS;

Step 2 – Add the following CSS code:

Step 3 – Click “Publish” to save changes.

This method will remove all overflow on the left and right sides for all of your sections and pages. Also, it will keep your top and bottom overflow still visible where needed. You can see it in this video:

Overflow-x for Mobile not working

(@samucarvajal)

2 years, 7 months ago

Hello everyone, thank you for reading.

I have tried to look for a perfect solution to the problem of hiding overflow-x: on mobile but nothing seems to be working.

At the moment I’m using:

The problem is that on mobile it just doesn’t work.

My website just blocks the sticky navigation bar. And also makes the check out page full of bugs for some reason, especially when putting the address.

I’ve tried also to update the information on the meta <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" >

I’m using Google Chrome on Desktop and Mobile (iPhone 12)

Thank you so much for your help!

The page I need help with: [ log in to see the link]

Also found a code that solves the issue:

BUT, it just blocks the sticky navigation on desktop, creates problems on the checkout cart, and in the input for addresses.

So, I worked out a solution! (pretty fast)

Instead of trying to find a code to prevent it, I started to look for the cause.

And the cause was a search widget.. so I deleted it. And now it works fine.

Still not optimal on Safari, but, anyways.

Overflow: hidden not working in ios safari..

I have a home page where there will be a popup modal that comes up on the page, and at lower viewports the content on the pop up will have overflow:auto, but at any viewport and device, the background page ( home page) should not be scrollable when the pop up is open, I have added overflow: hidden to the body when there is overlay open, overflow : hidden is working in all devices and browsers except in ipad/iphone safari versions. Researched a lot about this issue, but not able to find the correct solution.

can someone please help me ?

Jennifer Nordell

I don't know how accurate it is, but it might be something to try. I found on stack overflow a post that specifically says that iOS safari ignores overflow hidden when applied to body or html. They seem to be able to have worked around this by putting everything inside a wrapper div. Might give it a shot. Here's the reference. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14270084/overflow-xhidden-doesnt-prevent-content-from-overflowing-in-mobile-browsers

Thanks for the reply! I have already looked into that post, but that did not work out.

Sunil Thammineni Mahendra Chinna if you find the answer, let us know. This is interesting and I'd love to know a solution :)

Well, I have tried a bunch of solutions but in vain, overflow: hidden with position: fixed is doing the job, but position: fixed will distort all the elements on the homepage. I saw few articles suggesting position: relative with overflow: hidden, but that doesn't work.

Still looking for a fix! is there any alternate for overflow:hidden ?

Corey Huddleston

As mentioned by Jennifer, Safari overlooks "overflow: hidden" when applied to HTML and BODY in CSS. You should target the element selector more directly in CSS, specifically the one that has the content that is overflowing, and use "overflow: hidden" on that element. In my testing Safari does not overlook that, and it fixed my issue.

Building tools that make developers awesome., do you know about overflow: clip.

You probably know overflow: hidden , overflow: scroll and overflow: auto , but do you know overflow: clip ? It's a relatively new value for the overflow property, and with Safari 16 being released later this year all evergreen browsers will support it. So what does it do?

Before diving into clip , lets quickly go over what overflow does and what it's other values do.

A quick refresher on overflow

The overflow property lets you control how content that overflows a block element should be displayed. It had four different values:

• visible : The default value: any content that overflows is visibly rendered just where it would be if the block element was larger.
• hidden : The content is clipped to the element and overflowing content is hidden.
• scroll : The element is made into a scrollable area with scrollbar, regardless of whether the content requires it.
• auto : Depending on if the content fits or not the element gets a scrollbar. Often times You want overflow: auto, not overflow: scroll .

So far, so good.

While overflow sets the overflow value for both axis, you can set a different value for both the x and y axis with overflow-x and overflow-y or with overflow-inline and overflow-block if you want to use logical properties.

overflow is also a shorthand that also allows for two values: the first for the x direction and the second for the y direction. overflow: hidden scroll will hide any horizontal overflows while adding a scrollbar for the vertical direction.

Setting two different directional overflows would let you configure your element such that it (for example) only scrolls in the vertical direction while wrapping text and hiding overflows in the horizontal direction, a common requirement.

But it turns out, they have a hidden dependency: You can't have one axis be hidden in any way (hidden, scroll and auto all limit the content from expanding beyond the element) while having the other one set to visible:

See the Pen Overflow: Clip example by Kilian Valkhof ( @Kilian ) on CodePen .

That limits the type of design you can implement without adding additional HTML to style.

Clip was added for a particular reason: an element with overflow: hidden could still programmatically scroll (just not as the result of a user interacting with it). Keeping the scroll area around means that the UI still could end up being scrolled, and because it was a scroll area, it also prevented the non-scrolling axis to be set to visible . Without the scroll area, that limitation is no longer there.

So while you might not care about something being a scroll area or not (and to be frank, there's few situations where that distinction really matters) using clip means the limitations that a scroll area has no longer apply: You can clip in one direction while keeping your content visible in another direction .

This enables a number of interesting features, as well as making some designs easier to work with because you're no longer having to deal with the scroll areas:

See the Pen Untitled by Kilian Valkhof ( @Kilian ) on CodePen .

As a more practical example I've used this on the Polypane homepage to prevent an image from expanding horizontally outside of the viewport (by adding an overflow-x: clip ) to its wrapper, but allowing it to expand beyond the element vertically (with overflow-y: visible ) to create more depth without the image influencing the layout.

Here is a screenshot of the exaggerated effect. The pink outline is the element with a horizontal clip but vertical visible value for the overflow.

In the image you can see that the Polypane UI and its shadow on the right side expands beyond the border on the top and bottom of the element, but is neatly clipped on the right side.

Browser support

Clip has had support for quite a long time in all browsers except Safari, but support has landed in the Technical Preview for Safari 16, which should be released later this year.

Testing for support

Because overflow: clip is not yet supported in Safari, you'll want to test for support for it:

As a fallback for the overflowing image and shadow on the Polypane site I've deemed it acceptable to add extra padding and a negative margin to make the wrapper element higher, then pulling the next element up over it with the negative margin. Open the Polypane site in Safari to see it for yourself.

Some eagle eyed viewers would be able to see the last bit of the shadow being cut off. For me that's acceptable in exchange for keeping the rest of the styling manageable: negative margins aren't a thing I want to use all over the place.

Likewise for your implementation there could be ways to circumvent the need for clip , or provide a non-perfect but acceptable alternative.

Overflow-clip-margin

There is one more CSS property that works with overflow: clip and that's overflow-clip-margin . This property lets you control how far from the elements edge the clipping begins. By default it begins right at the edge, but you can expand beyond it:

See the Pen Overflow: Clip with overflow-clip-margin example by Kilian Valkhof ( @Kilian ) on CodePen .

This gives you even more control over where content is rendered separately from the layout it is contained in.

Can I use currently says it only works in Chromium but this is wrong. It works fine In Firefox and in fact it works better in Firefox, because it lets you set a clip margin on a single axis. In Chromium this only works when both axes are set to clip. (Thanks to @KonstantinRouda for letting me know). This means the above example currently only works in Firefox.

To read more, check out the MDN documentation on overflow and overflow-clip-margin .

CSS overflow-x: visible and overflow-y: hidden causing scrollbar issue

CSS overflow-x and overflow-y attributes are used to limit content overflow in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. The scrollbar may show on the page even when there is nothing to scroll when overflow-x is set to “visible” and overflow-y is set to “hidden”.

•  For horizontal overflow:
• For vertical overflow:

Approach: To avoid the scrollbar issue caused by setting overflow-x to “visible” and overflow-y to “hidden”, there are a few approaches that can be used.

•   Using overflow: hidden instead of overflow-y: hidden: This will hide both the horizontal and vertical overflow and prevent the scrollbar from appearing unnecessarily.
• Using overflow-x: scroll instead of overflow-x: visible: This will only show the scrollbar when there is content to scroll horizontally and prevent it from appearing unnecessarily.

Example 1: This example demonstrates the first approach using overflow: hidden property.

Example 2:  This example demonstrates the second approach using overflow-x: scroll property.

In conclusion, the CSS overflow-x: visible; and overflow-y: hidden; the combination can cause a scrollbar issue on the page. To avoid this, we can use either overflow: hidden or overflow-x: scroll instead.
