CSS Dimensions

The CSS dimensions are used to set the height and width of the HTML elements. We can set the height and width of the HTML element with the help of the CSS height and width property.

The CSS offers several properties for setting the dimension of the elements, which are given below:

Properties	Description
`height`	The `height` property sets the height of the HTML element.
`width`	The `width` property sets the width of the HTML element.
`line-height`	The `line-height` property sets the height of a line of a text.
`max-height`	The `max-height` property sets the maximum height that an element can be.
`min-height`	The `min-height` property sets the minimum height that an element can be.
`max-width`	The `max-width` property sets the maximum width of an element.
`min-width`	The `min-width` property sets the minimum width of an element.

CSS `Height` and `Width` Values

The CSS height and width property consist of the following values:

Value	Description
`auto`	This is the default value of both properties.
`length`	The user can set the height and width of the box in px, cm, etc.
`%`	The user can set the value of the height and width in % according to their containing block
`initial`	This value sets the value of the height and width to its default value.
`inherit`	This value inherits the value of height and width property from its parent element.

Example: Specifying `height` and `width` of the HTML element in %.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
div {
  height: 200px;
  width: 100%;
  background-color:#89eff5;
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 30px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>Hello!</div>
</body>
</html>

`Max-Width` of a box in CSS

The max-width property is used to set the max-width of any element. The values of this property can be specified in length, cm, px, %, etc. This property is used to overcome the problem that occurs when the user resizes the screen which is smaller than the element's height and width then the browser adds the side scroll bar to the web page. So, this property improves the handling of the elements when the user switches to the smaller window.

Live Example: Specifying `max-width` of an HTML element

In this example, we have set the max-width of the element 500px. When we resize the screen to the smaller one, no side scroll bar will be displayed.

Conclusion

In this lesson we have learned about the various values of the CSS height and width property. Also we have learned how to set max-height and max-width of an HTML elements.
