Glossary Term

height

3 tags 1 category

The height CSS property specifies the height of an element. By default, the property defines the height of the content area. If box-sizing is set to border-box, however, it instead determines the height of the border area.

Note: As a geometric property, height also applies to the svg, rect, image, and foreignObject SVG elements, with auto resolving to 0 and percent values being relative to the SVG viewport height for <rect>. The CSS height property value overrides any SVG attribute value set on the SVG element.

Ensure that elements set with a height aren’t truncated and/or don’t obscure other content when the page is zoomed to increase text size.

Syntax example: height: 120px;
