Free & Premium courses πŸ‘‰ https://kevinpowell.co/courses?utm_campaign=general&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=nomorehidden Overflow hidden is one of those features that seems like it should work in a very specific way, but it comes with a few strange side effects that can be incredibly frustrating and hard to fix. The powers who be have realized that there should probably be a better solution, and we have one with `overflow: clip`, which is basically a better version of `overflow: hidden`. I honestly don’t know if we need to bother with hidden at all anymore. Depending on the use case, we might want to use `contain: paint` instead though, which comes with some extra limitations, but also potential improvements to performance. πŸ”— Links βœ… Polypane: https://polypane.app/?ref=kevin (this is an affiliate link, so if you do purchase after visiting through this link, it would also help support my channel) βœ… Killian’s article on overflow: clip: https://kilianvalkhof.com/2022/css-html/do-you-know-about-overflow-clip/ βœ… Browser support for clip: https://caniuse.com/mdn-css_types_overflow_clip βœ… Browser support for contain: paint: https://caniuse.com/mdn-css_types_overflow_clip βœ… My CSS-only parallax video: https://youtu.be/Qj0Qx8HpNUo βœ… My courses: https://kevinpowell.co/courses?utm_campaign=general&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=nomorehidden ⌚ Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction 00:10 - The problems overflow: hidden can cause 01:15 - Target what’s causing the overflow first 04:40 - overflow: clip 06:20 - overflow-clip-margin 07:52 - courses! 08:20 - contain: paint #css -- Come hang out with other dev's in my Discord Community πŸ’¬ https://discord.gg/nTYCvrK Keep up to date with everything I'm up to βœ‰ https://www.kevinpowell.co/newsletter Come hang out with me live every Monday on Twitch! πŸ“Ί https://www.twitch.tv/kevinpowellcss --- Help support my channel πŸ‘¨β€πŸŽ“ Get a course: https://www.kevinpowell.co/courses πŸ‘• Buy a shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/making-the-internet-awesome πŸ’– Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/kevinpowell --- My editor: VS Code - https://code.visualstudio.com/ --- I'm on some other places on the internet too!
