How to Make The Overflow CSS Property Work with Hidden as Value

How to make the overflow CSS property work with hidden as value

Ok if anyone else is having this problem this may be your answer:

If you are trying to hide absolute positioned elements make sure the container of those absolute positioned elements is relatively positioned.

Why doesn't overflow: hidden work with div

You can overflow: hidden !important; for avoid other ovverriden styles

.myDiv {
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
    min-height: 100vh;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    flex-direction: column;
    overflow: hidden !important;
}

Css overflow hidden won't work, despite position relative for parent

img-container {
  margin : auto;
  overflow-x: hidden;
  overflow-y: hidden;
  width:250px;
  position: relative;
  height: 250px;
  border : 5px dotted gray;
}

.img-container object, .img-container img{
  position : absolute;
  display: inline-block;
}

.img1{
  top : 0px;
  left : 0px;
  width:60%;
}

.img2{
  width: 52%;
  left :120px;
  top:50px;
}

Can I apply a CSS transition to the overflow property?

There are many properties that can't be transitioned. overflow is among them; the render engine has no idea how to transition between "hidden" and "shown", because those are binary options, not intervals. This is the same reason why you can't transition between display: none; and display: block; (for example): there are no in-between phases to use as transitions.

You can see a list of properties you can animate here on Mozilla Developer Network.

CSS / JavaScript - content outside a element with overflow:hidden

try this:

<div style="position:relative;">    
  <div style="overflow:hidden; position: relative; width: {any}; height: {any};">the main content<div>    
  <div style="position:absolute;left:-100px;top:-50px;"> the tooltip thing </div>    
</div>

just place your main content to another div inside the main div and give provided css to hide the content if overflowing...

overflow hidden not working, position of parent relative

You need to put the:

 overflow: hidden;

on the container: .user_container

How to hide overflowing content in CSS?

Set the div with a width or height, (otherwise it won't know whether something is overflowing). Then, add the overflow:hidden; CSS property-value pair.

If using IE, remember to position the element relative so that IE knows how to deal with it.

I wouldn't use ellipsis, as its not fully cross-browser compatible
