CSS Data Type - <overflow>
The CSS data type <overflow> represents keyword values used for overflow property and the longhand properties overflow-block, overflow-inline, overflow-x, and overflow-y.
Possible Values
<overflow> data type is specified using one of the values listed below.
visible: The content is not clipped. It extends beyond the box.
hidden: The content is clipped, and the overflow is hidden.
clip: The content is clipped at the element's overflow clip edge.
scroll: The content is clipped, and a scrollbar is added to allow the user to scroll to see the hidden content.
auto: The browser automatically adds a scrollbar when the content overflows.
Syntax
<overflow> = visible | hidden | clip | scroll | auto
CSS <overflow> - Basic Example
In the provided example, the CSS datatype <overflow> is applied to the <pre> elements to regulate the behavior of overflowing content.
Each <pre> element's content determines how it will behave when it exceeds its defined dimensions based on the various values set to overflow.
<html> <head> <style> pre { border: 2px solid black; margin-bottom: 3em; } ::before { font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; color: white; background: darkorchid; display: inline-block; width: 100%; padding: 5px 10px; box-sizing: border-box; } pre { block-size: 110px; inline-size: 250px; } pre:nth-of-type(1) { overflow: hidden; } pre:nth-of-type(1)::before { content: "hidden: "; } pre:nth-of-type(2) { overflow: clip; overflow-clip-margin: 1em; } pre:nth-of-type(2)::before { content: "clip: "; } pre:nth-of-type(3) { overflow: scroll; } pre:nth-of-type(3)::before { content: "scroll: "; } pre:nth-of-type(4) { overflow: auto; } pre:nth-of-type(4)::before { content: "auto: "; } pre:nth-of-type(5) { overflow: clip; overflow: overlay; overflow-clip-margin: 3em; } pre:nth-of-type(5)::before { content: "overlay (or clip if not supported): "; } pre:nth-of-type(6) { overflow: visible; } pre:nth-of-type(6)::before { content: "visible: "; } </style> </head> <body> <pre> Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favour fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. <b>-Robert Frost</b> </pre> <pre> Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice.
