bookWorking with Inline Elements

Inline elements stay on a single line and wrap to the next line when space runs out. This behavior is controlled by the CSS property display: inline.

Key points about inline elements:

  • They default to display: inline;
  • Their width and height are determined by their content and cannot be explicitly set;
  • Only horizontal properties like padding, margin, and border can be applied.

Let's examine an example where some styles impact the element, while others do not, within the CSS file:

index.html
