perspective-origin property of CSS3

Introduction 

 
The Perspective Origin property is a property of CSS3. Which is used to define where a 3D element is based on the axis (x and y-axis). This property is only supported by Google Chrome and Safari ( With the help of (webkit-perspective-origin property). When we define the property on any element its child elements are effected, the element has not affected by this, in my case, I define this property in div1 but it can affect both div2 and div3. This property only affects the 3D transformed elements.
 
Ex:
  1. <html>  
  2.   
  3.      <head>  
  4.           <style type="text/css">  
  5.           #div1   
  6.           {  
  7.                position: relative;  
  8.                height: 150px;  
  9.                width: 150px;  
  10.                padding: 15px;  
  11.                margin: 45px;  
  12.                border: 2px solid Red;  
  13.                perspective: 150;

  15.                -webkit-perspective: 150;  
  16.                /* For Google Chrome and Safari   */  
  17.                -webkit-perspective-origin: 10% 10%;  
  18.                /*  For Google Chrome and Safari  */
