-ms-block-progression Attribute | msBlockProgression Property

Gets or sets the block progression and layout orientation.

Syntax

CSS	{ -ms-block-progression : sValue }
Scripting	[ sValue = ] object.style.msBlockProgression [ = sValue ]

Possible Values

sValue

String that specifies or receives one of the following values. tb Default. Top-to-bottom block flow. Layout is horizontal. rl Right-to-left block flow. Layout is vertical. bt Bottom-to-top block flow. Layout is horizontal. lr Left-to-right block flow. Layout is vertical.

The property is read/write for all objects except the following, for which it is read-only: currentStyle. The property has a default value of tb. The Microsoft Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) extension is not inherited.

Remarks

In vertical layout, text lines are rotated 90° clockwise. Images are not rotated, but tables are. Box layout in vertical orientations is exactly analogous to layout in the horizontal orientation: width, height, top, bottom, right, and left do not rotate with the text.

Only one block progression is active at a time; these values cannot be combined. See writingMode for additive block progression values.

This property is based on the block-progression property of the CSS3 Text Layout module.
