The properties to change dimensions are height and width to respectly change to height and the width of a box.

 

Values accepted are  :

  - a length in px, cm, etc...

  - a percentage to define the width in percent of the containing block

  - the keyword 'auto' which is the default value => Width calculated by the browser

  - initial : To set the width to it default value

You can also use the following properties :

  - line-height : to set the height of a line of text

  - max-height & min-height to set a max/min height that a box can be

  - max-width & min-width to set a max/min width that a box can be.

  • px (such as font-size: 12px) is the unit for pixels.
  • em (such as font-size: 2em) is the unit for the calculated size of a font. So “2em”, for example, is two times the current font size.
  • pt (such as font-size: 12pt) is the unit for points, for measurements typically in printed media.
  • % (such as width: 80%) is the unit for… wait for it… percentages.
