I want to implement a notification counter which rolls up to show incremented number.(Like the one google shows with google+ notifications) I can't get overflow:hidden
to work for .notif-surround
. Its child element's(the one with three numbers) height is larger and still it's visible. I want its appropriate portion to be visible. How do I do that?
