    Study Notes

    CSS Box Model

    • CSS treats HTML elements as boxes with properties defining their placement.
    • The box model is a toolkit for customizing page layouts.
    • Using HTML and CSS allows for responsive design, animations, and interactivity.
    • Block-level elements (e.g., , ) appear below the previous block element, filling the parent container's width, and adapting height based on content.
    • Inline elements (e.g., , ) don't affect vertical spacing and adapt width based on content.
    • The display property controls box types (block or inline), useful for transforming inline elements into block elements.

    Box Model Properties

    • Content: The actual HTML content.
    • Padding: Space inside the border, expands the background. Can be set individually (top, bottom, left, right) or using shorthand.
    • Border: A line around content and padding. Can have width, style, and color.
    • Margin: Space outside the border, spacing between boxes. Horizontal margins are treated differently than vertical margins on inline boxes. A quirk: vertical margins can collapse (i.e., only the largest of two adjacent margins is displayed). Margin collapse can be avoided by placing another element between the affected boxes or using only top or bottom margins.

    Content, Padding, Border, and Margin

    • Shorthand padding: Allows you to use a single line to set top/bottom and left/right padding.

    • Individual padding properties: top, bottom, left, and right padding.

    • Border properties: width, style, color for the box border

      • There are individual border elements too
        • top, bottom, left, and right

    • Margin properties

      • top, bottom, left, and right
      • Shorthand forms are available

    Block vs. Inline Boxes

    • Block-level elements treat margins differently from inline elements. Inline elements ignore top/bottom margins, while block elements are centered when you set both left and right margins to auto.

    Controlling Box Dimensions

    • Width and Height properties define explicit box dimensions. width: 200px makes a box 200 pixels wide.
    • Box-sizing: box-sizing: border-box makes the width include padding and border

    Aligning Boxes

    • text-align: Aligns content and inline boxes within a block-level element.
    • Auto-margins: margin: 0 auto; centers a block-level element with an explicit width.

    Universal Selector

    • * selector resets default margins and padding. This is a best practice to standardize across browsers.

    Elements

    • and elements are generic 'container' elements with no semantic meaning. They're useful for grouping and styling parts of a page.
