CSS3 User Interface module

CSS3 has new user interface features such as resizing elements, outlines, and box sizing. The resize property specifies whether or not an element should be resizable by the user.

CSS3 User Interface module

The following example lets the user resize only the width of a <div> element, as

div {

resize: horizontal;

overflow: auto;

}

The following example lets the user resize only the height of a <div> element, as

div {

resize: vertical;

overflow: auto;

}

The following example lets the user resize both the height and the width of a <div> element, as

div {

resize: both;

overflow: auto;

}

CSS3 Outline Offset

The outline-offset property adds space between an outline and the edge or border of an element.

Outlines differ from borders in two ways

  • An outline is a line drawn around elements, outside the border edge
  • A outline do not take up space
  • An outline may be non-rectangular

CSS3 User Interface module 2

The following example uses the outline-offset property to add a 15px space between the border and the outline, as

div {

border: 1px solid black;

outline: 1px solid red;

outline-offset: 15px;

}
