When an element is positioned, you also need to use the box-offset properties covered next ( top , left , bottom , and right ). Note that you should not use top and bottom or left and right together (if you do, top and left take priority). ❑ absolute can be fixed on the canvas in a specific position from its containing element (which is another absolutely positioned element); it will also move when the user scrolls the page. ❑ static will fix it on the page in the same place and keep it there even when the user scrolls. ❑ relative will be placed offset in relation to its normal position. ❑ fixed will fix it on the background of the page and not move when the user scrolls. p.article{position:absolute; top:10px; left:20px; katakana (A, I, U, E, O, KA, KI, . . . ) hiragana-iroha (i, ro, ha, ni, ho, he, to, . . . ) katakana-iroha (I, RO, HA, NI, HO, HE, TO, . . . ) Value IE N FF Inherited No [length] - 7 1 Default auto auto - 7 1 Applies to Marker elements inherit - 6 1 625 Appendix C: CSS Properties 59313bapp03.qxd:WroxPro 3/23/08 2:08 PM Page 625 Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark.

Parts outside the clip are not visible. If value is rect() , it takes the following form: ❑ rect([top] [right] [bottom] [left]) rect(25 100 100 25) overflow This specifies how a container element will display content that is too large for its containing element. p {width:200px; height:200px; overflow:scroll;} overflow-x Same as overflow , but only for the horizontal x-axis.

Outline Properties Outlines act like borders, but do not take up any space — they sit on top of the canvas. Outline (outline-color, outline-style, outline-width) Shortcut for the outline-color , outline-style , and outline-width properties: outline {solid #ff0000 2px} Note that outline-color , outline-style , and outline-width take the same values as border- color , border-style, and border-width . They are not covered individually, because they are not supported yet. Table Properties Table properties allow you to affect the style of tables, rows, and cells. border-collapse This specifies the border model that the table should use (whether adjacent borders should be collapsed into one value or kept separate). table {border-collapse:separate;} Value IE N FF Inherited Yes collapse 5 7 1 Default collapse separate 5 7 1 Applies to Table and inline elements inherit - 6 1 Value IE N FF Inherited No outline-color - - 1.5 Default none outline-style - - 1.5 Applies to All elements outline-width - - 1.5 outline - - 1.5 630 Appendix C: CSS Properties 59313bapp03.qxd:WroxPro 3/23/08 2:08 PM Page 630 Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark.
