Can border-box be applied to elements in Webflow?
Yes, border-box can be applied to elements in Webflow. The border-box property is a CSS property that determines how the width and height of an element are calculated. By default, when you set the width or height of an element in CSS, it is only applied to the content area of the element and does not include the padding, border, or margin.
When the border-box property is applied to an element, the width and height include the content area, padding, and border, but not the margin. This is useful because it allows you to easily calculate the total size of an element without having to manually account for the padding and border.
To apply the border-box property to an element in Webflow, you can use the following steps:
- Select the element you want to apply the border-box property to.
- Open the Styles panel on the right-hand side.
- Click on the "+" button next to the Element settings section to expand it.
- Click on the "Box" tab.
- In the "Sizing" section, you will find a dropdown menu with the options "Content" and "Border box". Select "Border box" to apply the border-box property to the element.
- Adjust the width and height of the element as desired. The measurements you enter will now include the content area, padding, and border.
Applying the border-box property to elements in Webflow can be helpful for creating consistent and predictable layouts, especially when working with box-sizing across different elements.
To summarize:
- The border-box property can be applied to elements in Webflow.
