Syntax

Values

<position>: Specifies the offset of the snap destination from the start edge of the scroll container’s visual viewport. The first value gives the x coordinate of the snap destination, the second value its y coordinate.

Formal syntax

<position>where 
<position> = [[ left | center | right | top | bottom | <length-percentage> ] | [ left | center | right | <length-percentage> ] [ top | center | bottom | <length-percentage> ] | [ center | [ left | right ] <length-percentage>? ] && [ center | [ top | bottom ] <length-percentage>? ]]
where 
<length-percentage> = <length> | <percentage>
