Read/Write  

Specifies the spacing between characters within an element. Browsers normally define the character spacing based on font definitions and operating system font rendering. Assigning a negative value tightens the spacing, but be sure to test the effect on the selected font for readability on different operating systems.

 
Example
 
document.body.style.letterSpacing = "1.1em";
 
Value

A string of a length value (with unit of measure) or normal. The best results are achieved by using units that are based on the rendered font size (em and ex). A setting of normal is how the browser sets the letters without any intervention.

 
Default

normal
