Style perspectiveOrigin Property

❮ Previous ❮ Style Object Reference Next ❯

Example

Set a 3D element's base placement:

document.getElementById("myDIV").style.perspectiveOrigin = "10px 50%";

Description

The perspectiveOrigin property defines where a 3D element is based in the x- and the y-axis. This property allows you to change the bottom position of 3D elements.

When defining the perspectiveOrigin property for an element, it is the CHILD elements that are positioned, NOT the element itself.

Note: This property must be used together with the perspective property, and only affects 3D transformed elements!
