| overflow-x, overflow-y | NN n/a IE 5(Win) CSS n/a |
| Inherited: No | |
Defines how the element treats content with rendered dimensions that exceed the specified width (x) or height (y) of the container. The operation of this IE/Windows attribute is the same as the regular overflow attribute, but each one operates along a single axis. This is particularly helpful if you want to have only a vertical or only a horizontal scrollbar appear with an element. See the overflow attribute discussion. |
