Sets or retrieves the position of the ruby text specified by the RT object.

CSS	{ ruby-overhang: "auto" | "whitespace" | "none" }
Script	object.style.rubyOverhang = sruby-overhang ]

auto	the ruby text overhangs any other text adjacent to the base text.
whitespace	The ruby text overhangs only whitespace characters.
none	The ruby text overhangs only text adjacent to its base.

The property is read/write with a default value of auto; the proposed cascading stylesheet ( CSS ) extension attribute is not inherited.

The rubyOverhang property specifies the overhang of the ruby text defined by the RT object, and is set on the RUBY object. The base text is defined in the RUBY object with the RB object.

The following sample demonstrates the use of both the CSS ruby-overhang style attribute and the rubyOverhang object property to set the overhang of the ruby text.

The sample uses an inline stylesheet to set the ruby-overhang attribute to none.

<RUBY id=oRuby STYLE = "ruby-overhang: none;">
  Ruby base.
<RT>Ruby text.
</RUBY>
<INPUT TYPE=button VALUE="Whitespace"
  onclick="oRuby.style.rubyOverhang='whitespace';">

This feature requires Microsoft^® Internet Explorer^® 5 or later.
