In Using CSS to Enforce Accessibility Adrian Roselli demonstrates how CSS can help prevent accessibility regressions. For example: ĬSS can then be used to indicate that the box has focus, using the outline property to give a visual clue that it will now be scrollable. To allow a scrolling box to accept focus add tabindex="0", a name with the aria-labelledby attribute, and an appropriate role attribute.
It's important to make sure that the scrollable area can accept focus so that a keyboard user can tab to the box, then use the arrow keys to scroll. Many of these overflow behaviors introduce a scrollbar, but there’s a few specific scroll behaviors and properties that can help you control scrolling on your overflow container. Using the overflow property with a value other than visible creates a block formatting context. This respects the user's preferences and shows scrollbars if needed, but hides them by default, and gives responsibility for scrolling to the user and browser. overflow: auto Finally, the value most commonly used, overflow: auto. The difference between clip and hidden is that the clip keyword also forbids all scrolling, including programmatic scrolling. overflow: clip Like overflow: hidden, the content with overflow: clip is clipped to the element's padding box. This is a great way to reduce future layout shift if a container may be scrollable in the future based, for example, on resize, and visually prepare the user for scrollable areas. Even if content isn't currently overflowing, scrollbars will be present. overflow: scroll overflow: scroll enables scrollbars to allow users to scroll through content. overflow: hidden With overflow: hidden content is clipped in the specified direction, and no scrollbars are provided to show it. This ensures that content is never unintentionally hidden and follows the core tenets of "never hide content" or "safe layouts of precise layouts". overflow: visible (default) Without setting the property, overflow: visible is the default value for the web. Let's take a closer look at the values and keywords available for the overflow properties.
Otherwise, both overflow-x and overflow-y use the same value. If two keywords are specified, the first applies to overflow-x and the second to overflow-y. The overflow shorthand sets both overflow-x and overflow-y styles in one line: overflow : hidden scroll There are three different values that can be applied: `hidden`, which hides any overflowing text `auto`, which displays a scrollbar when the text overflows and finally, with the addition of two other properties (`text-overflow: ellipsis ` and `white-space: nowrap `), it is possible to display ellipses at the end of an overflowing line.The overflow-inline and overflow-block properties set the overflow based on the document direction and writing mode. The CSS `overflow` property can be used to prevent text from overflowing. Note: The `white-space: nowrap ` property ensures that the text doesn’t wrap to the next line, which is necessary for ellipses to work. To display ellipses at the end of the overflowing text: To display a scrollbar when text overflows:ģ. To prevent text from overflowing, you can apply the CSS `overflow` property to your element. In this blog post, we’ll look at three examples of how the overflow property can be used and what other properties are necessary for it to work properly. Are you looking for a way to keep your text from overflowing? The CSS `overflow` property can help.
