Name
height
Synopsis
Specifies the height of an element’s content area. Padding, borders, and margins are added to this value. Negative values are not permitted.
Values:
<length> | <percentage> | auto | inherit
Initial value:
auto
Applies to:
Block-level elements and replaced elements (such as images); it is ignored for inline text (nonreplaced) elements.
Inherited:
No.
Percentages:
Refer to the height of the generated box’s containing block. If
the height of the containing block is not specified explicitly, and
this element is not absolutely positioned, the value computes to
auto. A percentage height on the
root element is relative to the initial containing block.
Computed value:
As specified (unless the property doesn’t apply to the element,
then auto).
