CSSNumericValue: max() method

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

The max() method of the CSSNumericValue interface returns the highest value from among the values passed. The passed values must be of the same type.

Syntax

js
max(number1, /* …, */ numberN)

Parameters

number1, …, numberN

Either a number or a CSSNumericValue.

Return value

Exceptions

TypeError

Thrown if an invalid type was passed to the method.

Examples

As stated earlier, all passed values must be of the same type and value. Some of the following examples illustrate what happens when they are not.

js
// Prints "2cm"
console.log(CSS.cm("1").max(CSS.cm("2")).toString());

// Prints "max(1cm, 0.393701in)"
console.log(CSS.cm("1").max(CSS.in("0.393701")).toString());
