This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
The axis read-only property of the ScrollTimeline interface returns an enumerated value representing the scroll axis that is driving the progress of the timeline.
An enumerated value. Possible values are:
"block"The scrollbar on the block axis of the scroll container, which is the axis in the direction perpendicular to the flow of text within a line. For horizontal writing modes, such as standard English, this is the same as "y", while for vertical writing modes, it is the same as "x".
"inline"The scrollbar on the inline axis of the scroll container, which is the axis in the direction parallel to the flow of text in a line. For horizontal writing modes, this is the same as "x", while for vertical writing modes, this is the same as "y".
"y"The scrollbar on the vertical axis of the scroll container.
"x"The scrollbar on the horizontal axis of the scroll container.
See the main ScrollTimeline page for an example.
