CSSUnitValue: CSSUnitValue() constructor

Limited availability

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

The CSSUnitValue() constructor creates a new CSSUnitValue object which returns a new CSSUnitValue object which represents values that contain a single unit type. For example, "42px" would be represented by a CSSNumericValue.

Syntax

js
new CSSUnitValue(value, unit)

Parameters

value

A double indicating the number of units.

unit

A string indicating the type of unit.

Examples

The following shows a method of creating a CSSPositionValue from individual CSSUnitValue constructors.

js
let pos = new CSSPositionValue(
  new CSSUnitValue(5, "px"),
  new CSSUnitValue(10, "px"),
);
