The absolute position will assume relative location and overflow from the nearest ancestral parent with relative positioning. To escape prisoner 2 we can give it an absolute position. The prison has constrained width and height and is set to ‘overflow: hidden’. In our new example we have 2 elements inside a prison. This is perhaps an easier concept to grasp than the last one. Escaping CSS overflow of parent or ancestor īy moving the height restriction and background colour to the wrapper, but keeping the width and X axis overflow restrictions on the container, we have created the overflow effect we were after. The solution is simple, if not a little bit hacky. So, by restricting the height of the container we are forcing the Y overflow condition to be used, which is either set to ‘auto’, ‘scroll’ or ‘hidden’ when ‘overflow-x: hidden’ is set. We now know that if we set overflow to ‘hidden’ on a single axis that the second axis is going to be assumed. In the example above we still want to overflow our element on the Y axis but not on X. … Bugger, ‘overflow-x: hidden’ and ‘overflow-y: visible’ can’t be used in combination. No problem, right? Now we just set ‘overflow-y: visible’… We can fix the X axis overflow by adding ‘overflow-x: hidden’ but by doing so overflow-y becomes assumed as ‘auto’. In this example we want the text to overflow on the Y axis but not on the X axis. Overflowing content shouldn't be visible on the X axis. I want my content to overflow on the Y axis only.
We want the container to have a fixed height of ’50px’ and a fixed width of ’50px’. Let’s assume that we have an element with class ‘.container’.
Using overflow-x and overflow-y is a little more ambiguous. I can't overflow the bounds of the container Once set to a parent, child content can’t overflow the bounds set by the parent. Principally ‘overflow: hidden’ works as you would expect. Facebook Share Twitter Share LinkedIn Share
