CSS Box Sizing

CSS Box Sizing

The CSS box-sizing property allows us to include the padding and border in
an element's total width and height.

Without the CSS box-sizing Property

By default, the width and height of an element is calculated like this:

width + padding + border = actual width of an element

height + padding + border = actual height of an element

This means: When you set the width/height of an element, the element often appear
bigger than you have set (because the element's border and padding are added to the element's specified width/height).

The following illustration shows two <div> elements with the same
specified width and height:

The two <div> elements above end up with different sizes in the result
(because div2 has a padding
specified):

The box-sizing property solves
this problem.

With the CSS box-sizing Property

The box-sizing property allows us to include the padding and border in
an element's total width and height.

If you set box-sizing: border-box; on an element padding and border are
included in the width and height:

Here is the same example as above, with box-sizing: border-box;
added to both <div> elements:

Since the result of using the box-sizing: border-box; is so much better, many developers want all elements on their
pages to work this way.

The code below ensures that all elements are sized in this more intuitive way.
Many browsers already use box-sizing: border-box; for
many form elements (but not all - which is why
inputs and text areas look different at width: 100%;).

Applying this to all elements is safe and wise:
