HTML Preparation code:
<section id="section"></section>
Script Preparation code:
const section = document.getElementById("section"); section.style.setProperty('--translation', '100'); section.style.setProperty('--translationPx', '100px'); section.style.setProperty('--translationPercentage', '100%'); for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { const newDiv = document.createElement("div"); const text = document.createTextNode(`${i}`); newDiv.appendChild(text); section.appendChild(newDiv); } var nodes = document.querySelectorAll("div");
Tests:
var(unitless) + calc() + %
for (var i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++) { nodes[i].style = "transform: translateY(calc(var(--translation) * 1%))" }
var(%) + calc()
for (var i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++) { nodes[i].style = "transform: translateY(var(--translationPercent))" }
