HTML-CSS: Vertical scroll snap

HTML-CSS : Exercise-7 with Solution

Using HTML, CSS create a scrollable container that will snap on elements when scrolling.

  • Use display: grid and grid-auto-flow: row to create a vertical layout.
  • Use scroll-snap-type: y mandatory and overscroll-behavior-y: contain to create a snap effect on vertical scroll.
  • You can use scroll-snap-align with either start, stop or center to change the snap alignment.

How can I show dots ("...") in a span with hidden overflow?

For this you can use text-overflow: ellipsis; property. Write like this

span {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 180px;
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden !important;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
