I'm not quite sure what you mean... maybe this will help.

if content of a div is larger than the space provided (eg screen size
restriction, or width, height, settings) there is an "overflow" css
attribute to handle it.  For example "overflow: hidden;" hides any thing
that doesn't fix, "overflow: scroll;" will give the div scroll bars, and
"overflow: visible;" will show it usually by stretching the height of the
div.

Maybe that was completely useless, hope it helps though.
