CSS Inline-block
CSS inline-block
is a display property value that can be applied to an element to make it behave like an inline element but also have block-level properties. When an element is set to inline-block
, it flows within the text content like an inline element, but you can also set width, height, margins, and padding on it as you would with block-level elements.
Here’s an example of how to use inline-block
in CSS:
css
.inline-block-element {
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
In the example above, the .inline-block-element
class is defined with display: inline-block
, which makes any element with this class behave as an inline block. It also sets a width and height of 200 pixels, adds 10 pixels of margin around the element, and 10 pixels of padding within the element. Additionally, a 1-pixel solid black border is applied to the element.
By using inline-block
, you can create elements that are visually grouped together while still allowing other elements to flow alongside them. This property is often used to create inline lists, navigation menus, or display images and text side by side.
