I have this

<div id="container">
  <div id="div1"></div>
<div>

Now, let's assume that:

  • the "container" has a width of 300px
  • the "container" has overflow: hidden;
  • the "div1" has a width of 1000px;
  • the "div1" is absolute positioned, top:0px,left:0px;

The problem:

The "div1" is not hidden, it overflows the "container" but it's still showing :(.

If I simply remove the "position:absolute" it will work.

How can I hide the overflow of "div1" ?
