How to make header of my chat container be scrollable for every element in it and not overlap












1















My goal here is to make the header of this chatbox be scrollable when the number of elements exceeds the maximum width. I have currently tried to apply the word wrap (no wrap) however that doesn't work and positioning it to absolute seems to break my chats interface and still doesn't work. I need it to be scrollable instead of breaking onto new lines. How do I do this?
HTML Code:






.chatHeader {

          You can use display:flex for the parent container and add overflow-x:scroll



          .chatHeader {
          overflow-x:scroll;
          display:flex;
          }


          By default the direction of flex is horizontal.
