Contain

Use overscroll-contain to prevent scrolling in the target area from triggering scrolling in the parent element, but preserve "bounce" effects when scrolling past the end of the container in operating systems that support it.

Nullam aliquet elit dui, vitae hendrerit lectus volutpat eget. In porttitor tincidunt egestas. Pellentesque laoreet ligula at est vulputate facilisis. Etiam tristique justo ut odio placerat ornare.

<div class="overscroll-contain ...">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...</div>

None

Use overscroll-none to prevent scrolling in the target area from triggering scrolling in the parent element, and also prevent "bounce" effects when scrolling past the end of the container.

Aenean mattis elit mi, sed ultricies augue consectetur id. Sed id magna malesuada, luctus urna a, bibendum tortor. Cras cursus cursus ex. Nulla fringilla elit vitae imperdiet scelerisque. Donec ac sem eu diam convallis mollis a sed leo. Proin congue augue turpis, eget rutrum dolor ultricies non. Nulla blandit venenatis dapibus.

In id felis vulputate, tempor massa eget, malesuada mauris. Quisque fringilla consequat metus, luctus scelerisque leo fringilla vel.

<div class="overscroll-none ...">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...</div>

Responsive

To control the overscroll-behavior property at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing overscroll-behavior utility. For example, use md:overscroll-contain to apply the overscroll-contain utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="overscroll-auto md:overscroll-contain lg:overscroll-none ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Customizing

Variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for overscroll-behavior utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the overscroll-behavior utilities by modifying the overscrollBehavior property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    variants: {
      extend: {
        // ...
+       overscrollBehavior: ['hover', 'focus'],
      }
    }
  }

Disabling

If you don't plan to use the overscroll-behavior utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the overscrollBehavior property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    corePlugins: {
      // ...
+     overscrollBehavior: false,
    }
  }
