This property is deprecated and is not supported in Windows Internet Explorer 8 and higher document compatibility modes.

Kashida is a typographic effect that justifies lines of text by elongating characters at carefully chosen points. It is used in Arabic writing systems.

Kashida justification increases the length of a line by elongating cursive (Arabic) characters at certain points. The semantics of text-kashida and IHTMLStyle3::textKashidaSpace are opposite each other: "text-kashida:100%" is nearly equivalent to "text-kashida-space:0%".

For the IHTMLStyle3::textKashidaSpace property to have any effect, you must also set the IHTMLRuleStyle::textAlign property to "justify". (Setting IHTMLRuleStyle2::textJustify property to "kashida" is not required.)

The IHTMLStyle3::textKashidaSpace property is read-only for the IHTMLCurrentStyle2 interface (C++) and currentStyle object (script).

The IHTMLStyle3::textKashidaSpace property applies to block elements only.
