border-top-right-radius

The border-top-right-radius CSS property rounds the top-right corner of an element.

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.

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-radius-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.

Formal syntax

<length-percentage>{1,2}
where 
<length-percentage> = <length> | <percentage>

Examples

Live example Code
 
 An arc of circle is used as the border 
div {
  border-top-right-radius: 40px 40px;
}
 
 An arc of ellipse is used as the border 
div {
  border-top-right-radius: 40px 20px;
}
 
 The box is a square: an arc of circle is used as the border 
div {
  border-top-right-radius: 40%;
}
.
 The box is not a square: an arc of ellipse is used as the border 
div {
  border-top-right-radius: 40%;
}
 
 The background color is clipped at the border 
div {
  border-top-right-radius:40%;
  border-style: black 3px double;
  background-color: rgb(250,20,70);
  background-clip: content-box;
}

Notes
Notes Before Firefox 4, the <percentage> was relative to the width of the box even when specifying the radius for a height. This implied that -moz-border-radius-topright was always drawing an arc of circle, and never an ellipse, when followed by a single value.
