scroll-padding-block

The scroll-padding-block shorthand property sets the scroll padding of an element in the block dimension.

Try it

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:

Syntax

/* Keyword values */
scroll-padding-block: auto;

/* <length> values */
scroll-padding-block: 10px;
scroll-padding-block: 1em 0.5em;
scroll-padding-block: 10%;

/* Global values */
scroll-padding-block: inherit;
scroll-padding-block: initial;
scroll-padding-block: revert;
scroll-padding-block: revert-layer;
scroll-padding-block: 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 a user agent is able to detect and do something else if a non-zero value is more appropriate.

Formal definition

Initial value as each of the properties of the shorthand:
Applies to scroll containers
Inherited no
Percentages relative to the scroll container's scrollport
Computed value as each of the properties of the shorthand:
Animation type by computed value type

Formal syntax

scroll-padding-block = 
  [ auto | <length-percentage [0,∞]> ]{1,2}  

<length-percentage> = 
  <length>      |
  <percentage>
