Utility | Properties |
---|---|
o-x-auto | overflow-x: auto; |
o-x-c | overflow-x: clip; |
o-x-h | overflow-x: hidden; |
o-x-s | overflow-x: scroll; |
o-x-v | overflow-x: visible; |
Auto
This example sets the horizontal overflow behavior to auto. The o-x-auto utility allows the content to scroll horizontally if it overflows the container, while hiding the scrollbar when not needed.
<div class="bg-indigo-2 h-32 o-x-auto p-4 w-64"> <div class="bg-indigo p-4 tc-white w-96">This content overflows horizontally.</div></div>
Clip
This example sets the horizontal overflow behavior to clip. The o-x-c utility clips the content that overflows horizontally, preventing it from being displayed or scrolled.
<div class="bg-indigo-2 h-32 o-x-c p-4 w-64"> <div class="bg-indigo p-4 tc-white w-96">This content is clipped and cannot be scrolled horizontally.</div></div>
Hidden
This example sets the horizontal overflow behavior to hidden. The o-x-h utility hides any content that overflows horizontally, ensuring it is not visible or scrollable.
<div class="bg-indigo-2 h-32 o-x-h p-4 w-64"> <div class="bg-indigo p-4 tc-white w-96">This content is hidden when it overflows horizontally.</div></div>
Scroll
This example sets the horizontal overflow behavior to scroll. The o-x-s utility enables a horizontal scrollbar for the container, allowing users to scroll through the content even if it doesn’t overflow.
<div class="bg-indigo-2 h-32 o-x-s p-4 w-64"> <div class="bg-indigo p-4 tc-white w-96">This content overflows the container, and a horizontal scrollbar is always visible.</div></div>
Visible
Initial value
This example sets the horizontal overflow behavior to visible. The o-x-v utility ensures that any content overflowing horizontally remains visible outside the container.
<div class="bg-indigo-2 h-32 o-x-v p-4 w-64"> <div class="bg-indigo p-4 tc-white w-96">This content overflows the container and is fully visible horizontally.</div></div>
