Targeted horizontal overflow

Is there a way to target html elements that I don't want to affect the width of the pag开发者_C百科e? In other words, those elements wouldn't trigger the horizontal scrollbar, if they were to leave the browser box.

You could use the CSS overflow: hidden to keep them from affecting your layout.

You can use overflow:hidden on the elements you don't want the scrollbar on.

You can also use overflow-x:hidden or overflow-y:hidden Reference

Checking other sites structures, the solution seems to be pretty simple:

Wrapping everything in a relative positioned container(with overflow:hidden) lets the container grow with the contents of the page, while not letting the elements show out of it's borders.
