CSS Layout – The display Property

The display property in CSS determines the type of box used for an HTML element. This property affects how elements are laid out on a webpage.

Types of display property:

1. block: This value creates a block-level element, which takes up the entire width of its parent container by default. These elements start on a new line and can have their height and width set using the height and width properties in CSS. Examples of block-level elements include <div> and <p>.
2. inline: This value creates an inline-level element, which does not start on a new line and only takes up as much width as necessary. These elements can have their height and width set using the height and width properties in CSS. Examples of inline-level elements include <span> and <a>.
3. inline-block: This value creates an element that is similar to an inline-level element, but it can have its height and width set using the height and width properties in CSS.
4. none: This value makes an element disappear from the webpage. It is often used to hide elements that are not needed in a particular context.
5. flex: This value creates a flexible container that can be used to create responsive layouts. Flexbox is a powerful tool for designing websites with complex layouts.
6. grid: This value creates a grid container that can be used to create even more complex layouts than flexbox.

These are just a few examples of the many values that the display property can take in CSS. By choosing the appropriate value for each element, you can create beautiful and functional layouts for your website.
