Syntax

Values

none

The scroll container does not define any snap points. Elements within the scroll container may still define snap points on behalf of the scroll container.

repeat(<length-percentage>)

Defines an interval at which snap points are defined, starting from the container's relevant start edge. Only positive lengths are allowed. Percentages refer to the width of the container.
