The CSS overflow property allows you to determine what to when a box is too small for its contents. You can create scroll bars, hide the contents, or automatically expand the box. Many webmasters use this method to create a scroll box.

You can also use the CSS overflow-x and CSS overflow-y properties to specify only vertical scrolling or horizontal scrolling. Although these properties aren't included in the official CSS 2.1 specification (they were first introduced in the CSS 3 working draft), most major browsers support the overflow-x and overflow-y properties. For more information, see Horizontal Scroll and Vertical Scroll.

Syntax: overflow: <value>;
Possible Values:
  • visible
  • hidden
  • scroll
  • auto
  • inherit
Initial Value: visible
Applies to: Block-level and replaced elements
Inherited: No
Media: Visual
Example: div.small-box {overflow:scroll}
