Hello @xavier.yeung

I don’t know what kind of scroll you want to add to the element. Is it vertical, horizontal or both? You might want to read the MDN documentation in the link below. There is something you are missing.

Why are you selecting span element?

Are you familiar with the CSS box model? If not, go have a read on MDN web docs.

the code before was like

<span> 123</span>
<span>456</span>
<span>789</span>
</div>

so i thought

#span { overflow: auto}

would create a scroll bar on those span haha
