    Study Notes

    CSS Box Model

    • Defines how web pages are rendered, treating each HTML element as a box.
    • Enables customization of default layout scheme.
    • Separating content into HTML gives search engine structure understanding, responsive site capability, and JavaScript interaction options.

    Block and Inline Elements

    • HTML elements rendered as boxes—Block and Inline boxes.
    • Block elements (e.g., , ) appear below the previous block.
    • Block width automatically fits the parent container, height based on content.
    • Inline elements (e.g., , ) don't affect vertical spacing; width determined by content.
    • display property overrides default box type.
      • Example: display: block; makes and elements line up in a new line, filling browser width.

    Content, Padding, Border, and Margin

    • CSS box model properties determine element dimensions:
      • content: HTML content (semantic).
      • padding: Internal space around content.
        • Shorthand forms exist for top/bottom and left/right.
      • border: Line around content and padding.
        • Shorthand for top, bottom, left, and right borders.
      • margin: External space around border.
    • Margin Collapse: Consecutive vertical margins collapse into the larger margin value

    and Elements

    • Generic container elements for styling sections of a web page.
    • Useful for grouping content sections or creating layout structures.

    Width and Height

    • Explicit width/height properties override content-determined dimensions.
    • box-sizing: border-box;: Considers padding and borders when calculating width/height, preventing unexpected box sizes.

    Horizontal Alignment

    • Text alignment: Uses text-align property for aligning content inside blocks.
    • Block alignment:
      • Centering using margin: auto; for elements with an explicit width.
      • Other alignment methods (floats, flexbox) available.
