Hello Jason! In order to set the width and height of an element correctly in all browsers, you need to know how the box model works.

For example: Assume we want to style a <div> element to have a total width of 350px:

Here is the computation:

320px (width)
+ 20px (left + right padding)
+ 10px (left + right border)
+ 0px (left + right margin)
= 350px

Can you please elaborate this computation on how we can compute box model?

Hmm, okay. Here is the explanation. The total width of an element should be calculated like this:

Total element width = width + left padding + right padding + left border + right border + left margin + right margin

The total height of an element should be calculated like this:

Total element height = height + top padding + bottom padding + top border + bottom border + top margin + bottom margin

I hope it helps you a lot

Inside the div, assume you have background-color: blue, width: 200px and padding which is 25px. Here is the example:

div {
background-color: blue;
width: 200px;
padding: 25px;
}

Thank you .

I must say CSS box model is the foundation of layout on the Web. Each element is represented as a rectangular box, with the box's content, padding, border, and margin built up around one another like the layers of an onion. As a browser renders a web page layout, it works out what styles are applied to the content of each box, how big the surrounding onion layers are, and where the boxes sit in relation to one another. Before understanding how to create CSS layouts, you need to understand the box model.

Yes of course! CSS are an important way to control how your Web pages look. CSS can control the fonts, text, colors, backgrounds, margins, and layout.

If CSS properties are important what is the use of javascript? What's the difference between CSS and javascript?

Javascript is a programming language, while CSS is a style sheet language. CSS is a design language, it makes the HTML page look good, and javascript makes the page do good stuff. JS or javascript is a client-side programming language, not a design language.

I've search an example. I'm not sure if it is working try this one:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {font:12px arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}
.marquee {
width:130px;
height:40px;
padding:5px;
background-color: yellowgreen;
border: 20px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;

/* Safari and Chrome */
overflow-x:-webkit-marquee;
-webkit-marquee-direction: backwards;
-webkit-marquee-style: scroll;
-webkit-marquee-speed: fast;
-webkit-marquee-increment: small;
-webkit-marquee-repetition: infinite;

/* W3C */
overflow-x: marquee-line;
marquee-direction: forward;
marquee-style: scroll;
marquee-speed: fast;
marquee-play-count: infinite;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<div class="marquee">
<p>And today's weather will be... FINE!</p>
</div>

</body>
</html>

Is there any related css properties that we can use?

There's a lot of CSS properties you can use. See W3schools.com

Cascading Style Sheets, commonly known as CSS, is an integral part of the modern web development process. It is a highly effective HTML tool that provides easy control over layout and presentation of website pages by separating content from design. Therefore CSS is important in creating a website

There is a padding in CSS box model. What is Padding?

The CSS padding properties are used to generate space around content.

CSS padding clears an area around the content inside the border of an element.
