<h1><a href="http://www.htmldog.com/references/css/properties/overflow/">CSS Property: <code>overflow</code></a></h1>
<p id="p1"><code>overflow: visible</code>: Non-fitting content spills outside of the edges of the box for all to see. Default.</p>
<p id="p2"><code>overflow: hidden</code>: Box is clipped, non-fitting content is unseen and the browser does not offer a way to see it.</p>
<p id="p3"><code>overflow: scroll</code>: Box is clipped, non-fitting content is initially unseen and the browser offers up a scrolling mechanism (or equivalent) so that the it can be seen upon user interaction.</p>
<p id="p4"><code>overflow: auto</code>: Browser dependent, but typically similar to <code>scroll</code>.</p>
