Padding, Pages, and More Style Sheet Properties - Pitch-range

(Page 4 of 5 )

 

pitch-range
IE n/a NN n/a Moz n/a Saf n/a Op n/a CSS 2

Inherited: No

For aural style sheets, this sets the range over which the average pitch frequency of a text-to-speech voice varies.

CSS Syntax

pitch-range: number

Value

Any positive number or zero. A value of 0 is a monotone voice; a value of 50 should offer a normal range; values above 50 might sound animated.

Initial Value         50

Applies To            All elements.

play-during
IE n/a NN n/a Moz n/a Saf n/a Op n/a CSS 2

Inherited: No

For aural style sheets, this sets the sound-mixing properties of a background sound with a text-to-speech rendering of the element’s content.

CSS Syntax

play-during: uri [mix | repeat] | auto | none

Value

The uri  value is a link to the sound file to be used as background sound (if desired). Optionally, you can specify that the background sound of the parent element’s play-during property is started and mixed with the current element’s background sound. If the length of the background sound is shorter than it takes for the element’s text to be spoken, the repeat constant tells the browser to repeat the sound until the spoken text has finished. A value of auto means that the parent element’s sound continues to play without interruption. And a value of none means that no background sound (from the current or parent element) is heard for this element.

Initial Value         auto

Applies To            All elements.

position
IE 4 NN 4 Moz all Saf all Op all CSS 2

Inherited: No

Sets whether the element is positionable, and if so, what type of positionable element it is. The two primary types of positionable elements are set with values relative and absolute , with a third type, fixed , applicable to only some browsers. See Chapter 5 for details and examples.

CSS Syntax

position: positionConstant

Value

Browsers and the CSS standard recognize different sets of constant values for this property, as shown in this table.

quotes

Value	IE/Windows	IE/Mac	NN	Others
absolute	4	4	4	all
fixed	7	5	6	all
relative	4	4	4	all
static	4	4	6	all

The static value is essentially an unpositioned element, one that flows in the normal rendering sequence of the body content. A fixed-position element is positioned relative to the window (viewport), and remains in its specified location even as the content scrolls underneath it.

Initial Value          static

Applies To             All elements.

Object Model Reference

[window.]document.getElementById("elementID").style.position

Notes

Navigator 4 treats elements that set the CSS position property in the following ways: an absolute-positioned element is turned into the same kind of element as that created as a layer element; a relative-positioned element is turned into the same kind of element as that created as an ilayer element. There are some subtle differences between the actual elements and the simulated version, resulting in more reliable behavior in Navigator 4 when the actual layer and ilayer elements were deployed.
