# Style clip Property

Style Object

## Definition and Usage

The clip property sets or returns which part of a positioned element is visible.

## Syntax

Set the clip property:

Object.style.clip="auto|rect(top right bottom left)|inherit"

Return the clip property:

Object.style.clip

Value | Description
--- | ---
auto | Default. The element does not clip
rect(top right bottom left) | Clips the shape defined by the four coordinates
inherit | The value of the clip property is inherited from the parent element

## Browser Support

The clip property is supported in all major browsers.

Note: The value "inherit" is not supported in IE7 and earlier. IE8 requires a !DOCTYPE. IE9 supports "inherit".

## Example

Clip the image into a specified shape:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
img
{
position:absolute;
top:100px;
}
</style>
<script>
function clipImage()
{
document.getElementById("img1").style.clip="rect(0px 75px 75px 0px)";
}
function clearClip()
{
document.getElementById("img1").style.clip="auto";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<img id="img1" src="w3javascript.gif" width="100" height="132">
<input type="button" onclick=clipImage() value="Clip image">
<input type="button" onclick=clearClip() value="Unclip image">
</body>
</html>
