-webkit-overflow-scrolling

Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

The -webkit-overflow-scrolling CSS property controls whether or not touch devices use momentum-based scrolling for a given element.

Initial value auto
Applies to scrolling boxes
Inherited no
Media visual
Computed value as specified
Animation type discrete
Canonical order order of appearance in the formal grammar of the values

Values

auto
Use "regular" scrolling, where the content immediately ceases to scroll when you remove your finger from the touchscreen.
touch
Use momentum-based scrolling, where the content continues to scroll for a while after finishing the scroll gesture and removing your finger from the touchscreen. The speed and duration of the continued scrolling is proportional to how vigorous the scroll gesture was. Also creates a new stacking context.

Formal syntax

auto | touch

Examples

-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; /* Lets it scroll lazy */

-webkit-overflow-scrolling: auto; /* Stops scrolling immediately */
