I have just made this little UI at the top of the screen but would like to know how I can prevent the marked text from overflowing. I have tried the overflow:hidden property but that hasn't helped. Any help would be appreciated. The CSS element in question is ward_caption which is in the ward_no.css file

ward_no.jsx

import React, { useState } from "react";
import './ward_no.css';
import { IoMdArrowDropdown } from 'react-icons/io';
import { GoTriangleUp } from 'react-icons/go';
import wardData from '../../../json_data/ward.json';

const WardNo = () => {
    const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);
    const [ward, setWard] = useState(null);

    const onSelect = (value) => {
        setWard(value);
        setOpen(!open);
    }

    return (
        <div className="ward_no">
            <div className="ward_caption">Ward No</div>
            <div className="ward_block">
                <div className="ward_dropdown">
                    <div className="ward_box">
                        {ward === null ? "Enter Ward Number" : ward}
                    </div>
                    <div className="ward_dropIcon" onClick={() => setOpen(prev => !prev)}>
                        {open ? <GoTriangleUp size={"25px"} /> : <IoMdArrowDropdown size={"30px"} />}
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div className={open ? "ward_option" : "ward_option_block"}>
                    {wardData.map((number) => <div className="ward_options" onClick={() => onSelect(number?.wardNo)}>
                        {number.wardNo}
                    </div>
                    )}
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    );
}

export default WardNo;

ward_no.css

    border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
}

.ward_option_block {
    display: none;
}

.ward_option {
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
    height: 200px;
    overflow: hidden;
    overflow-y: scroll;

This component gets rendered from the main_screen.jsx file along with two other components placed side by side.

main_screen.jsx

import React from "react";
import './main_screen.css';
// import District from "../widgets/dropdowns/district/district";
import SearchBox from "../widgets/dropdowns/district/search_box";
import WardNo from "../widgets/dropdowns/ward_no/ward_no";
import Category from "../widgets/dropdowns/category/category";

const MainScreen = () => {

    return (
        <div className="mainScreen">
            <div className="filterSearch">
                <div className="disctrictDropdown">
                    <SearchBox></SearchBox>
                </div>
                <div className="wardNoDropdown">       //This is the component
                    <WardNo></WardNo>
                </div>
                <div className="categoryDropdown">
                    <Category></Category>
                </div>

                Search
            </div>
        </div>
    );
}

CodePudding user response：

Two ways, which I know could work:

1. Try to add flex-direction: column; attribute to the display: flex container This way it will make the text with those input fields ‚listed‘ underneath each other, which looks (for my preference) better
2. Add white-space: nowrap; to your text div
