Width and Height

Use the width and height properties to specify the dimensions of a block-level element or an inline replaced element (like an image). The width and height properties do not apply to inline text (non-replaced) elements and will be ignored by standards-conformant browsers. In other words, you cannot specify the width and height of an anchor (a) or a strong element unless you change its display role to a block-level display value like block, list-item, or inline-block.
