You can use overflow auto   You can also control the x or y axis individually with the overflow-x and overflow-y properties   Example    content  overflow auto    content  overflow-y auto    content  overflow-x auto

You can use both  content and  container to overflow auto  Means if it s text is exceed automatically scroll will come x-axis and y-axis   no need to give separete x-axis and y-axis commonly give overflow auto       content  overflow auto

Set overflow-y property to auto  or remove the property altogether if it is not inherited

container  overflow auto   will do the trick  If you want to control specific direction  you should set auto for that specific axis  A E    container  overflow-y auto    container  overflow-x hidden    The above code will hide any overflow in the x-axis and generate a scroll-bar when needed on the y-axis But you have to make sure that you content default height smaller than the container height  if not  the scroll-bar will not be hidden
