Question

I guess I’m wondering if it is ill-advisable to just set:

div {
    overflow: hidden;
}

… instead of worrying about clearing each div. Does anyone else do this or recommend for/against it? Thanks.

EDIT:

I only ask because it seems like I have a handful of divs that require it, at the moment.

Answer 1

Yes, that will set overflow: hidden for all divs.
If you’ll find it wrong for some part of your html, then you can disable it for any divs you’ll need like this:

/* use default overflow for all divs in specific element */
#some-element-id div {
    overflow: auto;
}

Or you can use classes for this.
