      translate

      The translate property of CSS allows you to move an element along the X axis (horizontal), Y axis (vertical) and Z axiz (depth).
      The translate property is similar to the translate() function of transform property. The only difference between the two is that latter does not support the Z axis setting.

      Possible values

      1. Single <length-percentage> value:
      • <length> or <percentage> value, specifying a translation along X axis.
      • Same as translate() function, with one value specified.
      2. Two <length-percentage> values:
      • Two <length> or <percentage> values, specifying the translation along X and Y axes.
      • Same as translate() function, with two values specified.
      3. Three values:
      • Two <length-percentage> and single <length> values, specifying the translation along X, Y and Z axes.
      • Same as translate3d() function, with three values specified.
      4. none: No translation should be applied.

      Applies to

      All the transformable elements.

      DOM Syntax

      object.style.translate = "none | <length-percentage> <length>";
