Box Properties
193 Box Properties
If the contents of a block require more vertical space than is afforded by the limits
that have been set, their behavior is defined by the overflow (p. 280) property.
Value
The property takes a CSS length (px, pt, em, and so on), a percentage, or the keyword
none. Negative length values are illegal.
Percentage values refer to the height of the containing block. If the height of the
containing block is not specified explicitly (that is, it depends on content height),
and this element is not absolutely positioned, the percentage value is treated as
none.
