Tailwind CSS overscroll Behavior - GeeksforGeeks

23 Mar, 2022
This class accepts more than one value in tailwind CSS. It is the alternative to the CSS Overscroll-behavior property. This class is used to set the behavior of the browser when the boundary of a scrolling area is reached. This property can be used to prevent unwanted scrolling in pages where there are multiple scroll areas. 
There is separate property in CSS for CSS Overscroll-behavior-x and CSS Overflow-behavior-y, but we will cover it in this single article.
Overscroll Behavior class:
overscroll-auto
overscroll-contain
overscroll-none
overscroll-y-auto
overscroll-y-contain
overscroll-y-none
overscroll-x-auto
overscroll-x-contain
overscroll-x-none
overscroll-auto:  It is used to set the scrolling behavior to default. The whole page along with the element will scroll even if the boundary of the element is reached. It is the default value.
Syntax:
<element class="overscroll-auto">...</element>
Example:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html><head>    <link href="https://unpkg.com/tailwindcss@^1.0/dist/tailwind.min.css"        rel="stylesheet"></head>  <body class="text-center">    <center>        <h1 class="text-green-600 text-5xl font-bold">            GeeksforGeeks        </h1>          <b>Tailwind CSS Overscroll Class</b>                  <div class="flex">            <div class="overscroll-contain bg-green-200 p-4                 mx-24 w-1/3 text-justify">                This portal has been created to provide well                written, well thought and well explained                 solutions for selected questions.

The overscroll behavior can                 be used to control if the main content                 behind would scroll when this element's                 vertical boundary is reached.            </div>        </div>    </center></body>  </html>
Output:
overscroll-contain: It is used to set the scrolling behavior to default only on the element used. Scrolling the element further after it has reached the boundary will not scroll the elements behind it. No scroll-chaining would occur in the neighboring scrolling areas.
Syntax:
<element class="overscroll-contain">...</element>
Example:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> <head>     <link href="https://unpkg.com/tailwindcss@^1.0/dist/tailwind.min.css"           rel="stylesheet"> </head>   <body class="text-center"> <center>    <h1 class="text-green-600 text-5xl font-bold">        GeeksforGeeks    </h1>     <b>Tailwind CSS Overscroll Class</b>     <div class="flex">    <div class="overscroll-contain bg-green-200 p-4                 mx-24 w-1/3 text-justify">      This portal has been created to provide well written,         well thought and well explained solutions for selected         questions.

Output:
overscroll-none: It is used to prevent scroll-chaining on all elements. The default scroll overflow behavior is also prevented.
Syntax:
<element class="overscroll-none">...</element>

Output:
Overscroll-behavior-y: This class is used to set the behavior of the browser when the vertical boundary of a scrolling area is reached. This can be used in websites where there are multiple scrolling areas and scrolling one area does not affect the page as a whole. This effect is known as scroll-chaining which can be enabled or disabled accordingly.
overscroll-y-auto: This is used to set the scrolling behavior on the y-axis to default on all the elements. The whole page will scroll even if the boundary of the element is reached. It is the default value.
Syntax:
<element class="overscroll-y-auto">...</element>
