CSS Box Model : box-sizing _ Content-box

 CHANGING THE BOX MODEL

Many properties in CSS have a default value and don’t have to be explicitly set in the stylesheet.

For example, the default font-weight of text is normal, but this property-value pair is not typically specified in a stylesheet.

The same can be said about the box model that browsers assume. In CSS, the box-sizing property controls the type of box model the browser should use when interpreting a web page.

The default value of this property is content-box. This is the same box model that is affected by border thickness and padding.


Instructions:

Study the diagram to the right. It illustrates the default box model used by the browser, content-box. When you’re done, continue to the next exercise.

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 ...
