I have a responsiveness issue with the project that I am currently developing
I have a sidebar with two nested divs (the sections that appear "separated" from each other - see preview below) with absolute positioning that are overlapping each other whenever the screen height is lower than the space required to fit all of the elements on screen.
I would like to know how to stop the bottom section from overlapping the top section and make the sidebar's content scrollable from that point (once the "SOUND DETECTION DETAILS" container begins to overlap the "STROBE DURATION" container).
Here's the relevant index.html body section code:
<body class="bg-black">
<div id="sidebar">
<div id="sidebar-container" class="py-1.5 bg-gray-300 w-400px h-full absolute z-1 overflow-x-hidden opacity-100">

I am using Tailwind CSS, however, I do understand pure CSS answers as i am able to convert them to Tailwinds fromatting. Thanks!
I have searched for hours trying to find a solution for a problem similar to mine, but with no avail. I have found tutorials with a context similar to mine but the elements' positioning were not of the same type.
I had tried to remove the absolute position of the divs encapsulating sound detection details and also refactored some of the code . Below is the code shared.

</body>Note: Since I don't have the styles defined with id like sidebar, so the sidebar appears in the left side.
