CSS overflow: overlay

Last updated on : 2023-03-20

Note:
CSS overflow: overlay shows a browser compatibility score of 58. This is a collective score out of 100 to represent browser support of a web technology. The higher this score is, the greater is the browser compatibility. The browser compatibility score is not a 100% reflection for every browser and the web technology support. However, it does give you an estimate on how much you should rely on a particular web technology in terms of browser compatibility.

Overview

The overlay property is a non-standard property to make scrollbars display on top of content rather than below it. This feature is being standardized as the scrollbar-gutter property. By default, the overflow-anchor value is auto and it lets you mitigate this jarring user experience by keeping track of the position of an anchor node and adjusting the scroll offset accordingly.
