Formal definition

Initial value none
Applies to scroll containers
Inherited no
Percentages relative to same axis of the padding-box of the scroll container
Computed value as specified, but with relative lengths converted into absolute lengths
Animation type discrete

Formal syntax

none | repeat( <length-percentage> )

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