    In this video I will be explaining the most important concept of CSS. The box model. Everything in CSS is made of boxes so it is crucial to understand how the CSS box model works. In this video I will use examples to explain and show how the box model works on CSS elements, and by the end of this video you will have a complete understanding of the CSS box model.

    The part at 6:29 might be confusing for some people, so I explained it here:
    User here tells you that the total size of the element is 180x180, despite him specifying the height and width properties with value of 100px.
    So, user here wants the total size of the element to be 100x100, not 180x180.
    He tells you that there is a property called "box-sizing" with value "border-box".
    "border-box" takes into account the height and width values you mentioned, which are 100px for height and 100px for width.
    What "border-box" will do is make the total size of the element 100x100.
    To do this, it will first look at the current border and padding numbers (margin is out of the question because we said margin is not taken into account in the total element size), and it will work out the total element size using these numbers.
    User changes the border size to 20px, and padding still remains as 10px.
    Let's work this out. Assume the initial total element size is 0px.
    20px border up and 20px border down means that the total element size is now 40px.
    Padding. 10px padding up and 10px padding down means that the total element size is now 40px + 10px + 10px = 60px.
    FInally, "border-box" subtracts this 60px from the desired total element size, which is 100px. So 100px - 60px is 40px.
    This 40px number we just calculated will be given to the element content size. So now, the total element size is 40px (the element content size) + 60px (the element padding and border sizes) which gives us a total element size of 100px.
    This entire process repeats for left and right (the width), causing the total element area to be 100x100. Pretty cool, right? Rewatch this part if you're still confused while reading, and focus, and tell me if you got it!

    This is one of the most important things to understand about web design, arguably the first thing everyone needs to learn, but a lot of us just go on without fully understanding it, myself included. Thank you for breaking it down and telling us what the Box Model is, what the different properties do, and what we need to know in order to style elements exactly how we want them to look. I'm gonna get to work on it and make notes in my HTML/CSS lab! 👍

    • @WebDevSimplified
      @WebDevSimplified  4 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      You are so correct. Many people including myself skipped over the box model when learning since it is boring but it would have saved me so much time if I understood it properly.
