overflow CSS shorthand property sets the desired behavior for an element's overflow — i.e. when an element's content is too big to fit in its block formatting context — in both directions.

组成特性

此特性是下列 CSS 特性的简写:

句法

/* Keyword values */
overflow: visible;
overflow: hidden;
overflow: clip;
overflow: scroll;
overflow: auto;
overflow: hidden visible;
/* Global values */
overflow: inherit;
overflow: initial;
overflow: unset;
					

overflow property is specified as one or two keywords chosen from the list of values below. If two keywords are specified, the first applies to overflow-x and the second to overflow-y . Otherwise, both overflow-x and overflow-y are set to the same value.

visible

Content is not clipped and may be rendered outside the padding box.

hidden
Content is clipped if necessary to fit the padding box. No scrollbars are provided, and no support for allowing the user to scroll (such as by dragging or using a scroll wheel) is allowed. The content can be scrolled programmatically (for example, by setting the value of a property such as offsetLeft ), so the element is still a scroll container.
clip
Like for hidden , the content is clipped to the element's padding box. The difference between clip and hidden is that the clip keyword also forbids all scrolling, including programmatic scrolling. The box is not a scroll container, and does not start a new formatting context. If you wish to start a new formatting context, you can use display: flow-root to do so.
scroll

Content is clipped if necessary to fit the padding box. Browsers always display scrollbars whether or not any content is actually clipped, preventing scrollbars from appearing or disappearing as content changes. Printers may still print overflowing content.

auto
Depends on the 用户代理 . If content fits inside the padding box, it looks the same as visible , but still establishes a new block formatting context. Desktop browsers provide scrollbars if content overflows.
overlay
Behaves the same as auto , but with the scrollbars drawn on top of content instead of taking up space. Only supported in WebKit-based (e.g., Safari) and Blink-based (e.g., Chrome or Opera) browsers.

Mozilla extensions

-moz-scrollbars-none [1]
使用 overflow: hidden 代替。
-moz-scrollbars-horizontal [1]
使用 overflow-x : scroll and overflow-y : hidden ,或 overflow: hidden scroll 代替。
-moz-scrollbars-vertical [1]
使用 overflow-x : hidden and overflow-y : scroll ,或 overflow: scroll hidden 代替。
-moz-hidden-unscrollable
使用 overflow: clip 代替。

[1] As of Firefox 63, this feature is behind a feature preference setting. In about:config, set layout.css.overflow.moz-scrollbars.enabled to true

描述

Overflow options include clipping, showing scrollbars, or displaying the content flowing out of its container into the surrounding area.

Specifying a value other than visible (the default) creates a new block formatting context . This is necessary for technical reasons — if a float intersected with the scrolling element it would forcibly rewrap the content after each scroll step, leading to a slow scrolling experience.

In order for overflow to have an effect, the block-level container must have either a set height ( height or max-height ) or white-space 设为 nowrap .

Setting one axis to visible (the default) while setting the other to a different value results in visible behaving as auto .

JavaScript Element.scrollTop property may be used to scroll an HTML element even when overflow is set to hidden .

形式定义

初始值 visible
适用于 Block-containers, flex containers, and grid containers
继承 no
计算值 as each of the properties of the shorthand:
动画类型 discrete

形式句法

[ visible | hidden | clip | scroll | auto ]{1,2}
							

范例

Setting different overflow values for text

p {
  width: 12em;
  height: 6em;
  border: dotted;
  overflow: visible; /* content is not clipped */
}
							

visible (default)
Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium.

p { overflow: hidden; /* no scrollbars are provided */ }
							

overflow: hidden
Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium.

p { overflow: scroll; /* always show scrollbars */ }
							

overflow: scroll
Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium.

p { overflow: auto; /* append scrollbars if necessary */ }
							

overflow: auto
Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium.
