The display
property in CSS is used to control the layout behavior of an element. It specifies how an element should be displayed in the document. Here are the most common values for the display
property:
display
Valuesblock
: The element is displayed as a block element (like a <div>
) and takes up the full width available.
inline
: The element is displayed as an inline element (like a <span>
) and only takes up as much width as necessary.
inline-block
: The element is displayed as an inline element, but it behaves like a block element (allowing width and height to be set).
none
: The element is not displayed at all (it is hidden from the layout).
flex
: The element becomes a flex container, enabling the use of the Flexbox layout model.
grid
: The element becomes a grid container, enabling the use of the Grid layout model.
Here is an example of how these values might be used in CSS:
Each value of the display
property is used for different layout scenarios, depending on how you want your elements to behave. Let me know if you need any more details or examples!
