Definition
The clip property sets the shape of an element.
What happens if an image is larger than the
element it goes inside? - The "clip" property lets you specify the dimensions of an element that
should be visible, and the element is clipped into this shape, and
displayed.
Note: This property cannot be used for elements with an
"overflow" property set to "visible".
Inherited: No
JavaScript Syntax
CSS properties can also be dynamically changed with a JavaScript.
Scripting Syntax: object.style.clip="rect(0px,50px,50px,0px)"
