Let's start by the very beginning. What is CSS Overflow?

Is a CSS property that sets the behavior that occurs when an element's content overflows the element's box. Normally the behavior would be for the overflowing content to be visible, but that can be changed so that the content is hidden and a scrolling feature becomes available. There are four values for the overflow property: visible (default), hidden, scroll, and auto. There are also sister properties to overflow, which enjoy less widespread adoption. In our sections you will find them explained in more detail.

On a page, everything, every element that you see is in a rectangular box. The size, positioning, and behavior of all these elements are controlled with CSS. Behavior, means on how the box handles the content inside. When the content of the box is larger than the box itself, if you forget to set the height of the box, it will grow as large as needed to hold the content inside. Now, if you set the height of the or width of the box and the content can't fit, you can adjust the correct settings on how you would like to have it handled. This affects the clipping of all of the element's content except any descendant elements (and their respective content and descendants) whose containing block is the viewport or an ancestor of the element.
