The transformStyle property is used to set or return, the different ways nested elements use for their rendering in 3D space.
Syntax:
- It return transformStyle:
object.style.transformStyle
- It set transformStyle:
object.style.transformStyle = "flat|preserve-3d|initial|inherit"
Properties:
- flat: It is the default property value. However, the 3D position is not preserved by the child elements.
- preserve-3d: It enables the child elements to preserve their 3D position.
- initial: It sets the transformStyle to it’s default value.
- inherit: It inherits the transformStyle property values of the parent element.
Return Value: It returns a string, representing the transform-style property of the element.
