More Details for scroll-padding
scroll-padding
The scroll-padding
shorthand property sets scroll padding on all sides of an element at once, much like the padding
property does for padding on an element.
The scroll-padding-*
properties define offsets for the optimal viewing region of the scrollport: the region used as the target region for placing things in view of the user. This allows the author to exclude regions of the scrollport that are obscured by other content (such as fixed-positioned toolbars or sidebars), or to put more breathing room between a targeted element and the edges of the scrollport.
Constituent properties
This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:
scroll-padding-bottom
scroll-padding-left
scroll-padding-right
scroll-padding-top
Syntax
/* Keyword values */ scroll-padding: auto; /* <length> values */ scroll-padding: 10px; scroll-padding: 1em .5em 1em 1em; scroll-padding: 10%; /* Global values */ scroll-padding: inherit; scroll-padding: initial; scroll-padding: revert; scroll-padding: unset;
Values
<length-percentage>
An inwards offset from the corresponding edge of the scrollport, as a valid <length>
or a <percentage>
.
auto
The offset is determined by the user agent. This will generally be 0px
, but the user agent is free to detect and do something else if a non-zero value is more appropriate.
