How do you recommend dealing with content overflow on…

Use CSS properties: overflow, text-overflow, word-wrap, white-space.

overflow property: controls how content that exceeds the bounds of a block is displayed.

Main values:

visible (default): content is visible outside the block.
hidden: content is clipped and hidden outside the block.
scroll: adds scrollbars, allowing content to be scrolled. Always adds both horizontal and vertical scrollbars, even if one is not needed.
auto: adds scrollbars only when necessary.

.container {
  width: 200px;
  height: 100px;
  overflow: hidden; /* Clip content outside the bounds */
}

text-overflow property: specifies how to display text that does not fit within a block with overflow: hidden.

Values:

clip (default): text is clipped.
ellipsis: truncates text and displays an ellipsis (...) at the end.

Used in conjunction with white-space: nowrap and overflow: hidden.

.container {
  width: 200px;
  white-space: nowrap; /* Prevent line breaks */
  overflow: hidden; /* Clip content */
  text-overflow: ellipsis; /* Add ellipsis */
}

word-wrap (or overflow-wrap) property: determines whether the browser can break long words onto a new line if they do not fit in the container.

Values:

normal (default): words are only broken at normal break points (spaces, hyphens).
break-word: words can be broken at any point to prevent overflow.

.container {
  width: 200px;
  word-wrap: break-word; /* Allow breaking long words */
}

white-space property: controls how spaces and line breaks are handled inside an element.

Useful values for preventing overflow:

normal: spaces are collapsed, text wraps automatically.
nowrap: spaces are collapsed, but text does not wrap to a new line (may cause overflow). Requires overflow to manage visible content.

.container {
  white-space: nowrap; /* Prevent line breaks */
  overflow: hidden; /* Hide overflow */
  text-overflow: ellipsis; /* Add ellipsis */
}

Additional approaches:

Flexible layouts (Flexbox/Grid): Using Flexbox or CSS Grid allows creating responsive layouts that better scale and prevent content overflow through flexible space distribution.
Media queries: Changing styles (e.g., reducing font size, changing layout) at different screen resolutions to adapt content.
Dynamic content adjustment: Using JavaScript to measure content and container sizes, and make adjustments (e.g., shorten text, hide some elements) to prevent overflow.

The choice of method depends on the content type and desired visual outcome. Usually, a combination of these approaches is used.
