I have a problem with overlapping elements in a JSX app - html

Question

I created a button that adds emails inputs in a form (for invites), but at a certain number of inputs, they overlaps others elements on the page.
Here's some css :
.App {
height: 100%;
}
html,
body,
#root {
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
font-family: "Montserrat";
}
.page {
height: 80%;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.content {
margin-top: 50px;
width: 400px;
}
(It's a JSX app)
Here's a screenshot of the page: https://paste.pics/ab860613d5fd6eb82dfe59894ee24bc0
Thanks for your help !

You can add a 'container' div around your input's.. From there you can use height and width props along with the overflow: 'scroll' attribute.
Something like this:
const { useState } = React;
// Create items
const NEW_INVITES = [...Array(10).keys()].map((item, index) => {
return {
id: index + 1,
value: index + 1
}
});
function InviteInput(props) {
const { value, onChange } = props;
const handleChange = e => {
onChange && onChange(e);
};
return (
<li>
<input
value={value}
onChange={handleChange}
className="form-input"
type="email"
placeholder="nom#exemple.com"
name="invites"
required
/>
</li>
);
}
function AddInviteButton(props) {
return (
<button onClick={props.onClick}>
Ajouter une autre personne // (Add another person)
</button>
);
}
function InviteForm({ onSubmit, height, width, addBorder }) {
const [nbInvites, setNbInvites] = useState(NEW_INVITES);
let containerRef;
const onAddInviteClick = () => {
let id = nbInvites.length + 1;
setNbInvites([
...nbInvites,
{
id,
value: id
}
]);
setTimeout((cr) => {
cr.scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth" });
}, 100, containerRef);
};
const handleChange = (event, index) => {
let newstate = [...nbInvites];
newstate[index].value = event.target.value;
setNbInvites(newstate);
};
const handleSubmit = event => {
onSubmit(event, nbInvites);
};
const invitesContainer = {
height,
width,
overflow: 'scroll',
border: addBorder === true ? '1px solid black' : '',
}
return (
<div>
<div style={invitesContainer}>
{nbInvites.map((item, index) => {
return (
<InviteInput
key={index}
value={item.value}
onChange={e => handleChange(e, index)}
/>
);
})}
<div ref={r => containerRef = r}/>
</div>
<AddInviteButton onClick={onAddInviteClick} />
<br />
<button onClick={handleSubmit}>Submit</button>
</div>
);
}
function App() {
const [formVals, setFormVals] = useState();
const doSubmit = (event, formValues) => {
setFormVals(formValues);
};
return (
<div className="page">
<h2 className="box-title">
Qui sont les eleves de cette classe ? // (Who are the students in this
class?)
</h2>
<p>
Vous pourrez toujours en ajouter par la suite // (You can always add
some later)
</p>
<InviteForm onSubmit={doSubmit} height="100px" width="200px" addBorder />
{formVals ? <pre>{JSON.stringify(formVals, null, 2)}</pre> : ""}
</div>
);
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.body);
