When commenting on a blog, you might notice that if your comment exceeds the length of the provided <textarea>, scrolling beyond the end of the text area causes the entire blog to scroll. This is because reaching the end of a scrollable area, known as the , can lead to scrolling other content or the entire page. This continuous scrolling experience is called .
In situations where the contents of an element are larger than its container and allows or defaults to scrolling (like in <textarea>), continued scrolling past the element’s scrollable area will initiate scrolling in the parent element or the underlying page.
Conversely, scrolling through a website’s terms and conditions and reaching the end of the content to enable a checkbox, may not force the page to scroll or bounce (as on a phone). This example shows that you can control overscroll behavior and prevent scroll chaining.
This module defines the overscroll behavior, enabling you to specify the actions when a user scrolls beyond the boundaries of a scrollable element.
