ruby-overhang Attribute | rubyOverhang Property

Sets or retrieves the position of the ruby text specified by the RT object.

Syntax

HTML	{ ruby-overhang: sRubyOverhang }
Scripting	object.style.rubyOverhang [ = sRubyOverhang ]

Possible Values

sRubyOverhang

String that specifies one of the following values: auto Ruby text overhangs any other text adjacent to the base text. whitespace Ruby text overhangs only white-space characters. none Ruby text overhangs only text adjacent to its base.

The property is read/write with a default value of auto; the proposed cascading style sheets (CSS) extension attribute is not inherited.

Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see Dynamic Properties.

Remarks

The rubyOverhang property specifies the overhang of the ruby text defined by the RT object, and is set on the RUBY object.

Example

This example uses the ruby-overhang attribute and the rubyOverhang property to set the overhang of the ruby text. It uses an inline style sheet to set the ruby-overhang attribute to none.

Sample Code

<RUBY ID=oRuby STYLE = "ruby-overhang: none">
Ruby base.
<RT>Ruby text.
</RUBY>
<INPUT
TYPE=button VALUE="Whitespace"
onclick="oRuby.style.rubyOverhang='whitespace';"
>
