Overflow

Utilities for controlling how an element handles content that is too large for the container.

Adjust the overflow property on the fly with four default values and classes. These classes are not responsive by default.

This is an example of using .overflow-hidden on an element with set width and height dimensions.
This is an example of using .overflow-visible on an element with set width and height dimensions.
This is an example of using .overflow-scroll on an element with set width and height dimensions.
