border-top-right-radius

The border-top-right-radius CSS property rounds the top-right corner of an element by specifying the radius (or the radius of the semi-major and semi-minor axes) of the ellipse defining the curvature of the corner.

The rounding can be a circle or an ellipse, or if one of the value is 0 no rounding is done and the corner is square.

A background, being an image or a color, is clipped at the border, even a rounded one; the exact location of the clipping is defined by the value of the background-clip property.

Note: If the value of this property is not set in a border-radius shorthand property that is applied to the element after the border-top-right-radius CSS property, the value of this property is then reset to its initial value by the shorthand property.

Syntax

/* the corner is a circle */
/* border-top-right-radius: radius */
border-top-right-radius: 3px;

/* the corner is an ellipse */
/* border-top-right-radius: horizontal vertical */
border-top-right-radius: 0.5em 1em;

border-top-right-radius: inherit;

With one value:

  • the value is a <length> or a <percentage> denoting the radius of the circle to use for the border in that corner.

With two values:

  • the first value is a <length> or a <percentage> denoting the horizontal semi-major axis of the ellipse to use for the border in that corner.
  • the second value is a <length> or a <percentage> denoting the vertical semi-major axis of the ellipse to use for the border in that corner.

Values

<length-percentage>
Denotes the size of the circle radius or the semi-major and semi-minor axes of the ellipse. As absolute length it can be expressed in any unit allowed by the CSS <length> data type. Percentages for the horizontal axis refer to the width of the box, percentages for the vertical axis refer to the height of the box. Negative values are invalid.
