overflow-x not working css

Question

I am trying to create a simple scrolling parent div. in which child div should be stacked horizontally.

But it is not working. child divs are wrapped after div width end. Please help.

#outerContainer {
      width: 100%;
      height: 150px;
      background: red;
      overflow: hidden;
      overflow-x: scroll;
    }
    
    .card {
      float: left;
      display: inline-block;
      width: 100px;
      height: 150px;
      margin-right: 10px;
      background: #fff;
    }

<div id="outerContainer">
        <div class="card"></div>
        <div class="card"></div>
        <div class="card"></div>
        <div class="card"></div>
        <div class="card"></div>
        <div class="card"></div>
        <div class="card"></div>
      </div>

After opening your stackblitz all I see in rendered space is 'Welcome to Ionic' website. Where problem is visible? — Andrzej Ziółek

#outerContainer {

  background: red;
  overflow: hidden;
  overflow-x: scroll;
  white-space:nowrap;
}

.card {
  display: inline-block;

Just remove float:left; from .card class and add white-space:nowrap; in #outerContainer

#outerContainer {
  width: 100%;
  height: 150px;
  background: red;
  overflow: hidden;
  overflow-x: auto;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

.card {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 100px;
  height: 150px;
  margin-right: 10px;
  background: #fff;
}

<div id="outerContainer">
  <div class="card"></div>
  <div class="card"></div>
  <div class="card"></div>
  <div class="card"></div>
  <div class="card"></div>
  <div class="card"></div>
  <div class="card"></div>
</div>

#outerContainer {
  width: 100%;
  height: 150px;
  background: red;
  overflow: hidden;
  overflow-x: scroll;
  display: flex;
}

.card {
  min-width: 100px;
  height: 150px;
  margin-right: 10px;
  background: #fff;
}

<div id="outerContainer">
  <div class="card"></div>
  <div class="card"></div>
  <div class="card"></div>
  <div class="card"></div>
  <div class="card"></div>
  <div class="card"></div>
  <div class="card"></div>
</div>

Your card elements go to second row. flex can make it a bit easier.

Adding a working demo that fixes the issue is always a good option there's an option to add code snippet above the text area where you've added your answer.
