If you’re dealing with an issue where content is being cut off on hover due to CSS overflow
properties, here are some common approaches to manage that:
Problem Overview
When you have a container with overflow: hidden;
(or overflow: auto;
), any content that exceeds the boundaries of the container may not be visible. On hover, you might want to show additional content without it being cut off.
Solutions
- Change Overflow on Hover: You can change the overflow property of the container on hover. For example:
.container {
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
transition: height 0.3s ease;
}
.container:hover {
height: auto; /* or a specific height */
overflow: visible; /* Allow overflow on hover */
}
Use position: absolute
: You can absolutely position the additional content, making it appear outside of the container:
.container {
position: relative;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.additional-content {
position: absolute;
top: 100%; /* Position it below the container */
left: 0;
display: none; /* Initially hidden */
}
.container:hover .additional-content {
display: block; /* Show on hover */
}
Use overflow: visible
: If you don’t mind the content spilling outside the container, you can set overflow: visible;
:
.container {
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
overflow: visible; /* Allow overflow */
}
.container:hover .additional-content {
/* Additional styling */
}
<div class="container">
<p>Hover over me!</p>
<div class="additional-content">
<p>This is additional content that shows on hover.</p>
</div>
</div>
JavaScript/JQuery Solutions: If you need more control or effects that CSS can’t achieve, you might consider a JavaScript solution to adjust styles dynamically based on hover events.

Key Benefits of Using Coding Filters in Software Development!
Using coding filters brings numerous benefits to developers, such as improved maintainability, easier debugging, and enhanced performance. Filters allow developers to isolate specific pieces of logic, reducing errors and making the codebase more modular, adaptable, and easier to manage in the long term.
