Understanding Box Sizing in CSS
The box-sizing
property is used to control how the total size of an element is calculated, specifically concerning its width
and height
. There are three possible values for the box-sizing
property. Let's break down what each of these values means:
box-sizing: content-box | border-box | inherit;
index.html
styles.css
Output
inherit
- The
inherit
value allows an element'sbox-sizing
property to inherit its value from its parent element; - This means that the
box-sizing
behavior of the current element is determined by thebox-sizing
property of its parent element; - It can help ensure a consistent
box-sizing
behavior throughout a document by setting it on a parent container.
1. What is the default value for the box-sizing
property?
2. If a parent element has box-sizing: border-box
and a child element has box-sizing: inherit
, what value will the child element use for the box-sizing
property?
Everything was clear?
