HTML DOM Style perspective Property

# Style perspective Property

Style Object

## Example

Set the perspective from where an element is viewed:

document.getElementById("myDIV").style.perspective="50px";
Try it yourself »

## Definition and Usage

The perspective property defines how many pixels a 3D element is placed from the view. This property allows you to change the perspective on how 3D elements are viewed.

When defining the perspective property for an element, it is the CHILD elements that get the perspective view, NOT the element itself.

Note: The perspective property only affects 3D transformed elements!

Tip: Use this property together with the perspectiveOrigin property, which allows you to change the bottom position of 3D elements.

## Browser Support

The perspective property is supported in IE10+ and Firefox.

Chrome, Safari, and Opera support an alternative, the WebkitPerspective property.

## Syntax

Return the perspective property:

object.style.perspective

Set the perspective property:

object.style.perspective="length|none"
