The scroll-padding-inline
property is a CSS property that is used to specify the padding area around an element's inline axis when it is scrolled. This property is used to ensure that the content of an element is not obscured by the scrollbar when it is scrolled.
The scroll-padding-inline
property is used in conjunction with the overflow
property, which specifies whether or not an element should have a scrollbar when its content overflows its container. When an element has a scrollbar, the scroll-padding-inline
property is used to specify the amount of padding that should be added to the inline axis of the element to ensure that its content is not obscured by the scrollbar.
The scroll-padding-inline
property can be used with any element that has a scrollbar, including <div>
, <textarea>
, and <iframe>
elements. It is supported by all major web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
Here are some examples of how the scroll-padding-inline
property can be used:
In this example, we have a <div>
element with a scrollbar. We want to add padding to the inline axis of the element so that its content is not obscured by the scrollbar:
div {
overflow-y: scroll;
scroll-padding-inline: 20px;
}
In this example, we have set the scroll-padding-inline
property to 20px
, which means that the element will have a padding of 20px
on its inline axis when it is scrolled.
In this example, we have a <textarea>
element with a scrollbar. We want to add padding to the inline axis of the element so that its content is not obscured by the scrollbar:
textarea {
overflow-y: scroll;
scroll-padding-inline: 10px;
}
In this example, we have set the scroll-padding-inline
property to 10px
, which means that the element will have a padding of 10px
on its inline axis when it is scrolled.
In this example, we have an <iframe>
element with a scrollbar. We want to add padding to the inline axis of the element so that its content is not obscured by the scrollbar:
iframe {
overflow-y: scroll;
scroll-padding-inline: 15px;
}
In this example, we have set the scroll-padding-inline
property to 15px
, which means that the element will have a padding of 15px
on its inline axis when it is scrolled.
The scroll-padding-inline
property is a useful CSS property that can be used to ensure that the content of an element is not obscured by the scrollbar when it is scrolled. It is supported by all major web browsers and can be used with any element that has a scrollbar.
