overflow-inline CSS media feature
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2023.
The overflow-inline CSS media feature can be used to test how the output device handles content that overflows the initial containing block along the inline axis.
Note:
The overflow-inline property does not determine whether overflow occurs; rather, it reveals the device's handling of such overflow. Typically, on screens in most browsers, the behavior will be "scroll": when content exceeds the available horizontal space, the device allows you to scroll to access the overflowed content.
Syntax
The overflow-inline feature is specified as a keyword value chosen from the list below.
