<frequency-percentage>
The <frequency-percentage>
CSS data type represents a value that can be either a {{Cssxref("frequency")}} or a {{Cssxref("percentage")}}. Frequency values, e.g. the pitch of a speaking voice, are not currently used in any CSS properties.
Syntax
The value of a <frequency-percentage>
is either a {{Cssxref("frequency")}} or a {{Cssxref("percentage")}}; see their individual reference pages for details about their syntaxes.
Description
Use in calc()
Where a <frequency-percentage>
is specified as an allowable type, this means that the percentage resolves to a frequency and therefore can be used in a calc()
expression.
Formal syntax
Examples
Valid percentage values
90% Positive percentage
+90% Positive percentage with leading +
-90% Negative percentage — not valid for all properties that use percentages
Invalid percentage values
90 % No space is allowed between the number and the unit
Valid frequency values
12Hz Positive integer
4.3Hz Non-integer
14KhZ The unit is case-insensitive, though non-SI capitalization is not recommended.
+0Hz Zero, with a leading + and a unit
-0kHz Zero, with a leading - and a unit
Invalid frequency values
12.0 This is a <number>, not an <frequency>, because it is missing a unit.
7 Hz No space is allowed between the number and the unit.
0 Although unitless zero is an allowable <length>, it's an invalid <frequency>.
