Value

  • Type based on xsd:token
    • Valid valueDescription
      visibleContent is not clipped, i.e., it may be rendered outside the block box.
      hiddenContent is clipped and no scrolling mechanism should be provided to view the content outside the clipping region; users will not have access to clipped content. The size and shape of the clipping region is specified by the "clip" property.
      scrollcontent is clipped and if the user agent uses a scrolling mechanism that is visible on the screen (such as a scroll bar or a panner), that mechanism should be displayed for a box whether or not any of its content is clipped. This avoids any problem with scrollbars appearing and disappearing in a dynamic environment. When this value is specified and the target medium is "print", overflowing content should be printed.
      error-if-overflowImplies the same semantics as the value "hidden" with the additional semantic that an error shall be indicated; implementations may recover by clipping the region.
      repeatOn a formatting object which generates and returns normal viewport/reference pairs, this value specifies that additional viewport/reference pairs are to be generated so that the reference-area component of each pair is no larger than its parent viewport-area. On other formatting objects (including formatting objects whose absolute-position trait is "absolute" or "fixed"), it acts as if an overflow value of "auto" were specified.
      autoThe behavior of the "auto" value is user agent dependent, but should cause a scrolling mechanism to be provided for overflowing boxes.
