Display Property Using in CSS

CSS Web Development Front End Technology

All HTML elements have a default value set for their CSS Display property. This property specifies how will the element be rendered in the document.

NOTE − Default display property can be overridden but that does not change the type of the element just its display behavior on the document.

Following are some of the values for the CSS Display property −

Block
Inline
Inline-Block
None
