Css min-width no horizontal scroll bar is showing

Question

i've built a site and I used min-width css

.body{
    overflow:auto;
    min-width:1600px;
}

but when It loads on smaller resolution it don't appear a horizontal scrollbar, what should I do to make horizontal scrollbar appear?

Solution

You do not need to declare overflow if you want the scroll bar to be present as this is the default behaviour

You do need to set a height otherwise it will not work
