# Prototype makeClipping() Method

This method simulates the poorly supported CSS clip property by setting element's overflow value to 'hidden'.

## Syntax:

    element.makeClipping();

## Return Value:

- Returns an HTML element.

## Example:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Prototype examples</title>

    <script type="text/javascript"
       src="/javascript/prototype.js">
    </script>
    <script>

    function Clipping(){
       $('framer').makeClipping().setStyle(
                   {width: '50px', height: '50px'})
    }

    function Original(){
       $('framer').undoClipping();
    }
    </script>
    </head>

    <body>

      <p>Click the button to see the result.</p>

      <div id="framer">
      <img src="/images/prototype.gif" alt="Prototype Logo" />
      </div>

      <br />
      <input type="button" value="Clipping" onclick="Clipping();"/>
      <input type="button" value="Original" onclick="Original();"/>

    </body>
    </html>

To understand it in better way you can Try it yourself.
