Definition and Usage

The max-width property defines the maximum width of an element.

If the content is larger than the maximum width, it will automatically change
the height of the element.

If the content is smaller than the maximum width, the max-width property
has no effect.

Note: This prevents the value of the
width property from becoming larger than
max-width. The value of the max-width property overrides
the width property.

Default value:	none
Inherited:	no
Animatable:	yes, see individual properties. Read about animatable Try it
Version:	CSS2
JavaScript syntax:	object.style.maxWidth="600px" Try it
