CSS Reference

Quick Reference

The background-clip property defines how far the background color or image should extend within an element. This options would be to extend the background all the way under the box border (border-box), up to the inside edge of the box border (padding-box), or just under the box content itself (content-box).

div {
    padding: 20px;
    background-color: red;
    background-clip: border-box;
}

The HTML element can also be styled using JavaScript and the element’s id.

document.getElementById('my_div').style.backgroundClip = 'border-box';
<button onclick='my_function()'>Click Here</button>

<script>
function my_function() {
    document.getElementById('my_div').style.backgroundClip = 'border-box';
}
</script>

CSS Notes:


We’d like to acknowledge that we learned a great deal of our coding from W3Schools and TutorialsPoint, borrowing heavily from their teaching process and excellent code examples. We highly recommend both sites to deepen your experience, and further your coding journey. We’re just hitting the basics here at 1SMARTchicken.
