My html is----
<header>
<div class="container">
<h1 id="tag-line">Innovation Cloud</h1>
<h3 id="title">Connect Your Ideas Globally</h3>
<a href="#" class="btn">Learn More</a>
</div>
</header>
And my CSS is----
*,html{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body{
font-family:'Roboto',sans-serif;
}
/*--------Header-------*/
header{
background-image:url(http://s3.amazonaws.com/codecademy-content/projects/innovation-cloud/bg.jpg);
height: 800px;
background-size: cover;
text-align: center;
color: #ffffff;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
header .container{
position: absolute;
top:15%;
width: 100%;
}
#tag-line{
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 6.5em;
}
I am using the Mobile First Approach , at the lowest width of viewport , my heading(#tagline) i,e Innovation Cloud goes out of the viewport width which result in horizontal scrollbar. But as I am increasing the size of the viewport , scrollbar get disappeared. What going on here? I am stuck here. Please help. Thank You.

Did you want the scroll bar to stay on the screen always? If so, you can add this to your "body" rule:
overflow-X: scroll;
And if you never want the scroll bar (and just cut things off on a small screen):
overflow-X: hidden;
