CSS Box Sizing Property



Box-sizing property is used to change the height and width of the element. Since CSS2, the box property has worked like as shown below −

width + padding + border = actual visible/rendered width of an element's box
height + padding + border = actual visible/rendered height of an element's box

Example

To understand the box-sizing property, let us see an example:
