绝对子不可滚动

Question

基本上，我是想让聊天信息可以滚动。然而，到目前为止，内容似乎无法滚动。当“聊天消息包装器”类是相对的时，它会滚动得很好，但是，我希望聊天消息最初出现在底部，这就是为什么我将它切换到绝对。

Html：

Answer 1

为了使overflow-y工作，您需要为.chat-messages-wrapper元素指定一个显式(min/max) height。

但是，由于该框的位置是绝对的，您可以使用top和bottom属性来达到同样的效果：

这里的例子

.chat-messages-wrapper {
    position: absolute;
    padding-left: 7px;
    padding-right: 7px;
    /* height: auto; */
    bottom: 40px; /* = height of bottom element */
    top: 32px;    /* = height of top element    */
    overflow-y: auto;
}

Answer 2

你需要给.chat-messages-wrapper一个max-height
