Elements of a Timeline Breaking Line

Question

all right? I’m trying to make a Timeline with scroll, but I’m not getting the Timeline elements into the div when it reaches the maximum size, so that this part is not visible. Here is the code I have so far, where it shows the problem of line breaking that is occurring!

.timeline-background {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
  height: 300px;
  background-color: #F5F5F5;
  padding: 0;
  padding-top: 50px;
}

.list-items {
  position: relative;
  width: 400px;
  height: auto;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  margin-top: 20px;
  margin-left: 37px;
  max-width: 440px;
}



.list-item {
  position: absolute;
  width: 500px;
  top: 0;
  height: auto;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.list-items li {
  position: relative;
  display: flex;

.list-item li:first-child {

  background-color: #fff;
  border: 3px solid #AD80FF;

  border-radius: 50%;
  float: left;

.list-item li:last-child {

I tried putting a fixed size to div and using overflow Hidden, scroll and auto, but still the same problem! If anyone has any idea how to do that and can help, I am very grateful! Thanks in advance!!

Hello, I managed to solve this problem, I will put here the code so you can compare with what was having problem, in case you want! Well, what I did was add a class backpage with position absolute, overflow auto and a width fixo. I also changed the position class list-items for absolute and put a width maior that that of the div with the class backpage. Then it was only to arrange the position of the elements!

Here the final code:

.timeline-background {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
  height: 300px;
  background-color: #F5F5F5;
  padding: 0;
  padding-top: 50px;
}

.backpage {
  position: relative;
  overflow: auto;
  width: 450px;
}

.list-items {
  position: absolute;
  width: 2000px;
  height: auto;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  margin-top: 20px;
  margin-left: -10px;
}

.list-item {
  position: absolute;
  width: 500px;
  top: 0;
  height: auto;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.list-items li {
  position: relative;
}

.list-item li:first-child {
  position: absolute;
  left: 20px;
  top: 63px;
  cursor: pointer;
  list-style: none;
  width: 30px;
  height: 30px;
  background-color: #fff;
  border: 3px solid #AD80FF;
  color: #D9D9D9;
  border-radius: 50%;
  float: left;
}

.list-item li:last-child {
  position: absolute;
  right: -13px;
  top: 63px;
  cursor: pointer;
  list-style: none;
  width: 30px;
  height: 30px;
  margin-left: 50px;
  background-color: #fff;
  border: 3px solid #AD80FF;
  color: #D9D9D9;
  border-radius: 50%;
  float: left;
}

.list-item li:last-child:hover {
  color: #FF04FF;
}

.list-item li:first-child:hover {
  color: #FF04FF;
}

.list-item .active {
}

.list-items li {
  cursor: pointer;
  margin-left: 50px;

  position: absolute;
  content: '';

  margin-top: 0px;
  margin-left: 12px;
  height: 50%;
  border-bottom: 2px solid #D9D9D9;
  z-index: 0;
