Center items in a container, and make then left aligned when they overflow

Read Original

This technical article addresses a specific CSS layout challenge: centering items within a container and making them left-aligned with proper horizontal scrolling when they overflow. It explains the problem of 'data loss' with `justify-content: center`, references the CSS spec's `overflow-position: safe` property (not yet implemented), and provides a practical, cross-browser solution using a wrapper element with `margin: auto`.
