Height
Category:CSS Properties
Height
The Height property specifies the height of the content area of an element. The height of an element does not include padding, borders, or margins. Height can be defined in percentage (of the width of the containing block), pixels, cm, etc.
Examples
Height in pixels
Set the height of a <p> element to 100 px.
p{
height: 100px;
}
Height as a percentage
Setting the height of an <img> element using a percent value.
img {
width: 50%;
}
Syntax
height: value;
Tips
- The height property does not include padding, borders, or margins.
- The default value of the height is auto: the element will automatically adjust its height to allow its content to be displayed correctly.
