Clipping rectangles may be used to control how much of a the HTML within a <div> section will be displayed. They may be used only with absolute positioning.

Clipping rectangles may be used to control how much of a the HTML within a <div> section will be displayed.

The CSS specification for a clipping rectangle looks like:
clip: rect(top,right,bottom,left) where top, right, bottom, and left are dimensions. Thus clip: rect(10,110,110,10) tells the browser to display a 100x100 area starting 10 down and 10 right from the top left of the <div> contents.

Text may also be clipped. If there is too much text to display within the clipping rectangle, it may be truncated.
