CSS Box Model

In HTML all the elements are considered to be a box. The CSS Box Model describes the design and layout of the content along with its surroundings.

The CSS Box Model consists of the content, padding, border, and margin.

actual width(112px) = width(100px) + padding(5px) + border(2px)+ margin(5px)

but we can change this behavior by changing the box-sizing property from content-box to border-box. Then the width of the content will be:

actual width(100px) = width + padding + border+ margin

The content-box adds to the width of the element making it wider than the actual width while the border-box adjusts the padding, margin, and border to retain the actual width of the element.

2. Setting padding for the element

For setting padding, we can use padding-top, padding-bottom, padding-left, padding-right, padding-inline, or padding.

3. Setting border for the element

For setting padding, we can use border-top, border-bottom, border-left, border-right, border-width, border-color, border etc.

4. Setting the margin of the element

For setting padding, we can use margin-top, margin-bottom, margin-left, margin-right,margin-inline, or margin.
