Tailwind CSS Overscroll Behavior

The overscroll-behavior CSS property can control the behavior of a scrolling view when it reaches the top or bottom of its scrollable overflow, called the "scroll boundary". With Tailwind CSS, you can easily implement different overscroll behavior options.

Syntax

The syntax for the overscroll-behavior property is as follows:

overscroll-behavior: auto | contain | none;

• auto: The default value, the scroll boundary is retained when a user tries to scroll past it.
• contain: The scroll boundary will scroll as part of the content until it reaches the edge of its container.
• none: The scroll boundary is completely hidden and does not affect scrolling in any way.

Examples

Here are some examples of how you can use the overscroll-behavior property with Tailwind CSS:

<!-- Auto Overscroll Behavior -->
<div class="overscroll-auto">
  <p>
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
  </p>
</div>

<!-- Contain Overscroll Behavior -->
<div class="overscroll-contain">
  <ul>
    <li>Item 1</li>
    <li>Item 2</li>
    <li>Item 3</li>
  </ul>
</div>

<!-- None Overscroll Behavior -->
<div class="overscroll-none">
  <img src="/path/to/image.jpg" alt="Example Image">
</div>

Output

The above examples will produce the following output:

• The overscroll-auto class will retain the scroll boundary when a user tries to scroll past it.
• The overscroll-contain class will scroll the scroll boundary as part of the content until it reaches the edge of its container.
• The overscroll-none class will completely hide the scroll boundary and does not affect scrolling in any way.
