When laying out a document, the browser's rendering engine represents each element as a rectangular box according to the standard CSS basic box model . CSS determines the size, position, and properties (color, background, border size, etc.) of these boxes.

Every box is composed of four parts (or areas ), defined by their respective edges: the content edge , padding edge , border edge ,和 margin edge .

CSS Box model

content area , bounded by the content edge, contains the "real" content of the element, such as text, an image, or a video player. Its dimensions are the content width (或 content-box width ) and the content height (或 content-box height ). It often has a background color or background image.

box-sizing property is set to content-box (default) and if the element is a block element, the content area's size can be explicitly defined with the width , min-width , max-width , height , min-height ,和 max-height 特性。

padding area , bounded by the padding edge, extends the content area to include the element's padding. Its dimensions are the padding-box width padding-box height .

The thickness of the padding is determined by the padding-top , padding-right , padding-bottom , padding-left , and shorthand padding 特性。

border area , bounded by the border edge, extends the padding area to include the element's borders. Its dimensions are the border-box width border-box height .

The thickness of the borders are determined by the border-width and shorthand border properties. If the box-sizing property is set to border-box , the border area's size can be explicitly defined with the width , min-width , max-width , height , min-height ,和 max-height properties. When there is a background ( background-color or background-image ) set on a box, it extends to the outer edge of the border (i.e. extends underneath the border in z-ordering). This default behavior can be altered with the background-clip css property.

margin area , bounded by the margin edge, extends the border area to include an empty area used to separate the element from its neighbors. Its dimensions are the margin-box width margin-box height .

The size of the margin area is determined by the margin-top , margin-right , margin-bottom , margin-left , and shorthand margin properties. When margin collapsing occurs, the margin area is not clearly defined since margins are shared between boxes.

Finally, note that for non-replaced inline elements, the amount of space taken up (the contribution to the height of the line) is determined by the line-height property, even though the borders and padding are still displayed around the content.
