A portion of a text seems to climb out of the page boundaries. Why is that?
What happens to text if 'auto' value is assigned to overflow property, to the element containing the text?
Overflow property is used to add a scrollView to a big text within small space. Auto will decide if you tag needs a scrollBar or not. Try setting a height to your text or body.

For convenience, I set overflow as visible. The result is the same when overflow is hidden or clip. And div with border dotted is the text parent element. How do I fix it.
When parent is full size
When parent is zero height, but the text will block parent move up
Text still affect layout when it's already overflow from its parent
When remove text, layout return normal
I find out the problem that was caused by inline type display of parent. Inline display parent's child still affect layout even it is overflow from its parent. Changing parent's css display to block type can fix the problem.
The body increases width if i have enough text on the page to fill the screen
Why does this happen?
See example here:

uncomment text and see the nav bar move slightly
Inline elements fill the block elements that contain them. When you insert a you are forcing a line break between inline elements. You only want to do this when you have some text needs to be forced to split on two lines. For example:
Burger
King
In general you should only use for this purpose. Instead, if you have blocks of text wrap them in the (when they are paragraphs) or other appropriate block level tags. In this way they will always fill their container and the text will wrap naturally.
Use CSS styles to set the width of the container.
Forcing
overflow-y: scroll;
on Body causes scrollbar to always show, which means the width is consistant across pages
I have been reading this post about how to make a div resizable. What I don'
t understand is why does the overflow property have to be different from visible? Both the w3c docs and csstricks blog mention this. Is there any specific reason behind this? If yes then what?
If you look at the overflow options, setting this value to visible will prevent the box to wrap the content, instead the content will go out of the box. Therefore, if the user is dynamically modifying the box, you would get the context overlapping your element's box.

I have some little problem setting the right height of some informative boxes.
If you go in this example page you can simply understand what my problem is: http://onofri.org/example/example3/test2.html
As you can see under the Main Report area I have 3 boxes.
The problem occurs in the boxes titled as Links and in Work Supported by Japanese Trust Found
As you can see these boxes contain some informative text. The problem is that if I enlarge the character (in the browser, using CTRL+) this informative text goes out of the box (it goes out of the bottom of the box)
Is there a way to solve this problem? I want that box always contains its content.
Thanks in advance.
Use the min-height property to set the height. This allows the boxes to "grow" when needed.
Here's an example: http://jsfiddle.net/43MjD/4/
Don't give the div a height so the box will expand as the text does.
I am making a site in HTML, and I am putting a heading on top of an object. When I shrink the window enough, the object and the text interfere
Is there any way I can have the text just stay in one spot without it wrapping to the browser window if there is no space left in the browser?
I have tried using fixed as a position property in CSS, but the same thing happened.
If you set an explicit width on the containing object (perhaps a <div> tag) it will not resize with the window. When the window becomes too small, it will not wrap around like you mentioned but force a scroll bar to appear.
I'm not sure what you mean by ending lines. If you're talking about wrapping, have you considered a fixed size DIV with overflow:hidden as a CSS rule?
