The <frequency-percentage>
CSS data type represents a value that can be either a <frequency>
or a <percentage>
. Frequency values, e.g. the pitch of a speaking voice, are not currently used in any CSS properties.
Syntax
The value of a <frequency-percentage>
is either a <frequency>
or a <percentage>
; see their individual reference pages for details about their syntaxes.
Description
Use in calc()
Where a <frequency-percentage>
is specified as an allowable type, this means that the percentage resolves to a frequency and therefore can be used in a calc()
expression.
Examples
Valid percentage values
90% Positive percentage +90% Positive percentage with leading + -90% Negative percentage — not valid for all properties that use percentages
Invalid percentage values
90 % No space is allowed between the number and the unit
Valid frequency values
12Hz Positive integer 4.3Hz Non-integer 14KhZ The unit is case-insensitive, though non-SI capitalization is not recommended. +0Hz Zero, with a leading + and a unit -0kHz Zero, with a leading - and a unit
Invalid frequency values
12.0 This is a <number>, not an <frequency>, because it is missing a unit. 7 Hz No space is allowed between the number and the unit. 0 Although unitless zero is an allowable <length>, it's an invalid <frequency>.
