La widthpropiedad en CSS especifica el ancho del área de contenido del elemento. Esta área de "contenido" es la parte dentro del relleno, borde y margen de un elemento (el modelo de caja).
.element ( width: 80%; )
En el ejemplo anterior, los elementos que tienen un nombre de clase de .wrapserán un 80% más anchos que su elemento padre. Los valores aceptados son cualquiera de los valores de longitud, además de algunas palabras clave que cubriremos más adelante.
El ancho puede ser anulado por las propiedades estrechamente correlacionadas min-width y max-width.
.wrapper-1 ( width: 100%; max-width: 320px; /* Will be AT MOST 320px wide */ ) .wrapper-2 ( width: 100%; min-width: 20em; /* Will be AT LEAST 20em wide */ )
Cavar más profundo
Al usar porcentaje (%) para el ancho, los autores deben tener en cuenta que el porcentaje se basa en el padre del elemento, o en otras palabras, el ancho del bloque contenedor. Si su padre está configurado en 480px, como lo demuestra nuestra demostración, entonces el porcentaje se basa en ese valor. Entonces, en nuestro caso, el 50% de 480px nos deja 240px como valor de píxel calculado.
Tenga en cuenta que se widthaplica a todos los elementos excepto los elementos no reemplazados o en línea, filas de tablas y grupos de filas (es decir thead, tfooty tbody). Parece haber una ligera discrepancia en cuanto a cómo HTML define los elementos no reemplazados y cómo CSS los define, pero nos referimos a él como lo hace CSS: elementos cuyo contenido no está definido por la etiqueta en sí, como unCodePen Embed Fallback
Keyword values
With some special keyword values, it is possible to define width (and/or height) according to the content of the element.
min-content
The min-content value is the smallest measure that would fit around its content if all soft wrap opportunities within the box were taken.
The best example for this kind of value is a properly written figure element:
What a lovely kitten we got there in this image which is encapsulated in a figure element. How dear, look how long this caption is!
Once we have applied some basic styles to this markup, we get:
If we wanted that figure element to essentially be the size of that image, so the text wraps at the edges of the image. We could float it left or right, because float will exhibit that same kind of shrink-to-fit behavior, but what if we wanted to center it? min-content allows us to center it:
Because we’ve assigned min-content to the figure element, it takes the minimum width it can have when taking all soft wrap opportunities (like spaces between words) so that the content still fits in the box.
max-content
The max-content property refers to the narrowest measure a box could take while fitting around its content - if no soft wrap opportunities within the element were taken.
Check out what happens if we apply this to our simple kitten/figure demo:
Because the caption is very longer than the image is wide (it doesn’t take any soft wrap opportunity, like the spaces between words), it means it has to display the caption on a single line, thus the figure is as wide as that line.
fill-available
???. One of life’s great mysteries.
fit-content
The fit-content value is roughly equivalent to margin-left: auto and margin-right: auto in behaviour, except it works for unknown widths.
For instance, let’s say we need to center an inline navigation across the page. Your best bet would be to apply text-align: center to the ul, and display: inline-block to the li. This would give you something like this:
However, the blue background (from the ul element) spreads across the entire document because the ul is a block-level element, which means its width is restricted only by its containing element. What if we want to have the blue background collapsing around the list items? fit-content to the rescue!
With fit-content and margin: 1em auto, this works like a charm and only the navigation has a colored background, not the whole document width.
If you’re into this sort of thing, you’ll be happy to know the formula to define the size of a fit-content length is:
