CSS Property: clip
[this page | pdf | back links]
The CSS (CSS2) clip property indicates what to do
with an image that is larger than its containing element. The clip property
allows you to specify a rectangle to clip an absolutely positioned element. The
rectangle is specified by four coordinates, all from the top-left corner of the
element being clipped. The clip property does not work if the overflow
property is set to visible.
Valid property values
(other than inherit
and initial) are:
|

At the time of writing, the
only valid type of value for shape was rect(top,
