Ruby-Position, Size, and Other Style Sheet Properties

speech-rate
IE n/a NN n/a Moz n/a Saf n/a Op n/a CSS 2

Inherited: Yes

For aural style sheets, this sets the number of words per minute of the text-to-speech output.

CSS Syntax

Value

A wordsPerSecond value is any positive floating-point number with no unit appended. Alternatively, you can use any of the following constant values.

Initial Value         medium

Applies To            All elements.

stress
IE n/a NN n/a Moz n/a Saf n/a Op n/a CSS 2

Inherited: Yes

For aural style sheets, this sets the amount of stress (inflection) in the spoken voice.

CSS Syntax

table-layout
IE 5(Win) NN n/a Moz 1.0.1 Saf all Op 7 CSS 2

Inherited: No

Determines whether the browser uses computed heights and widths of the entire table’s data to begin rendering the table or relies on the table element’s size properties and uses the first row’s cell widths to begin rendering table content. When the property is set to auto , the browser must load all of the table cells and their content before the first row of data can be rendered, causing a brief (but perhaps imperceptible) delay in drawing the table. Setting the value to fixed allows table rendering to begin sooner, which is helpful for large tables. If content in succeeding rows is wider than the fixed column size, the content is usually clipped unless you set the overflow style property to visible (but that will likely make a visual jumble in adjacent cells).

CSS Syntax

table-layout: layoutType

Value                   Two possible constant values: auto | fixed.

Initial Value         aut o

Applies To            table elements .

text-align
IE 4 NN 4 Moz all Saf all Op all CSS 1

Inherited: Yes

Determines the horizontal alignment of text within an element. This property is inherited, so it can be set for a container to impact all nested elements, such as a p element within a div element. Values of center , left , and right are supported across the board. The value of justify is not a CSS requirement, but it works in IE 5 or later and other mainstream browsers.

CSS Syntax

text-align: alignment

p.rightHand {text-align: right}
blockquote {text-align: justify}

Applies To

Block-level elements, but right-alignment also works in text-type input and textarea elements in IE 5 and later for Windows, Mozilla, Safari, and Opera.

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

text-align-last
IE 5.5 NN n/a Moz n/a Saf n/a Op n/a CSS n/a

Inherited: Yes

One of the following constants: auto | center | justify | left | right. The value of auto picks up the inherited text-align property.
