CSS Box Model : border-radius

 THE BOX MODEL

Ever since we revealed the borders of boxes, you may have noticed that the borders highlight the true shape of an element’s box: square. Thanks to CSS, a border doesn’t have to be square.

You can modify the corners of an element’s border box with the border-radius property.

div.container {
  border: 3px solid blue;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

The code in the example above will set all four corners of the border to a radius of 5 pixels (i.e. the same curvature that a circle with a radius of 5 pixels would have).

You can create a border that is a perfect circle by first creating an element with the same width and height, and then setting the radius equal to half the width of the box, which is 50%.

div.container {
  height: 60px;
  width: 60px;
  border: 3px solid blue;
  border-radius: 50%;
}

The code in the example above creates a <div> that is a perfect circle.


Instructions:

1.In style.css, set the border radius of #banner .content h1 to 15 pixels.

Additionally, try experimenting with other border-radius values and running your code to see the result!


Hint:

To set the border radius, use the border-radius property in the declaration.

CSS Box Model : box-sizing_ border-box

  CHANGING THE BOX MODEL Box Model: Border-Box Fortunately, we can reset the entire box model and specify a new one:  border-box . * {    box-sizing : border-box ; } The code in the example above resets the box model to  border-box  for all HTML elements. This new box model avoids the dimensional issues that exist in the former box model you learned about. In this box model, the height and width of the box will remain fixed. The border thickness and padding will be included inside of the box, which means the overall dimensions of the box do not change. <h1> Hello World </h1> * {    box-sizing : border-box ; } h1 {    border : 1px solid black ;    height : 200px ;    width : 300px ;    padding : 10px ; } In the example above, the height of the box would remain at 200 pixels and the width would remain at 300 pixels. The border thickness and padding would remain entirely  inside ...
