The scroll-snap-points-x CSS property defines the horizontal positioning of snap points within the content of the scroll container they are applied to.

/* Keyword value */
scroll-snap-points-x: none;

/* Repeating snap points */
scroll-snap-points-x: repeat(400px);

/* Global values */
scroll-snap-points-x: inherit;
scroll-snap-points-x: initial;
