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:

css
html

index.html

css

styles.css

copy

Output

inherit

  • The inherit value allows an element's box-sizing property to inherit its value from its parent element;

  • This means that the box-sizing behavior of the current element is determined by the box-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?
