Just came after searching for box model on youtube. Found what I was looking for to clear out all confusions. Exactly what I needed. I was having trouble formatting content with float and clear based on box model. This was super helpful! 👏🏼
The part at 6:29 might be confusing for some people, so I explained it here: User here tells you that the total size of the element is 180x180, despite him specifying the height and width properties with value of 100px. So, user here wants the total size of the element to be 100x100, not 180x180. He tells you that there is a property called "box-sizing" with value "border-box". "border-box" takes into account the height and width values you mentioned, which are 100px for height and 100px for width. What "border-box" will do is make the total size of the element 100x100. To do this, it will first look at the current border and padding numbers (margin is out of the question because we said margin is not taken into account in the total element size), and it will work out the total element size using these numbers. User changes the border size to 20px, and padding still remains as 10px. Let's work this out. Assume the initial total element size is 0px. 20px border up and 20px border down means that the total element size is now 40px. Padding. 10px padding up and 10px padding down means that the total element size is now 40px + 10px + 10px = 60px. FInally, "border-box" subtracts this 60px from the desired total element size, which is 100px. So 100px - 60px is 40px. This 40px number we just calculated will be given to the element content size. So now, the total element size is 40px (the element content size) + 60px (the element padding and border sizes) which gives us a total element size of 100px. This entire process repeats for left and right (the width), causing the total element area to be 100x100. Pretty cool, right? Rewatch this part if you're still confused while reading, and focus, and tell me if you got it! ALSO I'M A THE ODIN PROJECT STUDENT!!!
This is one of the most important things to understand about web design, arguably the first thing everyone needs to learn, but a lot of us just go on without fully understanding it, myself included. Thank you for breaking it down and telling us what the Box Model is, what the different properties do, and what we need to know in order to style elements exactly how we want them to look. I'm gonna get to work on it and make notes in my HTML/CSS lab! 👍
You are so correct. Many people including myself skipped over the box model when learning since it is boring but it would have saved me so much time if I understood it properly.
This video is a equivalent to a holy scripture like Bible/bhagwat Geeta for people to understand how to design apps be it on Android/iOS/web.This was helpful for me as a flutter developer.
Pay attention to how he "comments out" an element at 6:35. ctrl + / has been a game changer for me. It allows me to select an element and toggle it on/off and see its effect.
I'm a student of coding and programming and this box model stuff with the content, padding, border and margin has always confused me. Today I am no longer confused but rather empowered to conquer this. i just told my wife, where's this fella been all my life. lol Thank you sir! Hell, I even broke out the crayons to draw this stuff in my notebook! lol
OMG for some reason I wasn't getting it during my class lectures. You cleared it up so well man, thank you! I really appreciate how easy you are to understand. Best wishes my man!

i highly recommend any one still starting in css to take Kyle css course one friend on mine took the course and after going through it with him I definitely learn more about css and not still that afraid about it really thanks to you Kyle and to my friends that took the course
Key Takeaways 1. Every CSS element is a box. 2. We can use padding increase size of our boxes. 3. Border goes around padding
4. Margin goes around border and adds spacing
5. We can use inspect to see model 6. We can also set width and and height 7. If we add margins to the second box, the box above it will compare the margin it has with second box and the larger margin will be the space between them.
8. Height is shown as 180 because 100 + 20(padding) + 60 (border). 9. We can use box-sizing to make it actual height we specified in code. Suppose we change padding or borders, other numbers adjust by itself. 10. We can use chrome dev tools to understand box model in a better way.
I don't know what it is about this video but every other explanation of the box model I've encountered so far just completely threw me. Thanks so much for breaking down such an important concept so perfectly
Your videos are making a positive difference in everyone; the way of teaching has erased my long-term confusion in the concept. Keep it up bro, and keep making videos like these!
Thanks for elaborate on CSS box model, keynote: - Use margin to set apart between adjacent elements - Each element will have padding, border, margin attribute - Use box-sizing: border-box to get actual size of element without specify width or height of elements From Odin Project
I'm coding web for 8 years. And the thing with margin that you showed right now which it uses 30 from this and 70 from this, I didn't know that. In my mind it was always 70 + 100 of the other element. I'v got to check it.
The folks at The Odin Project were right. This is really very important and having this fundamental knowledge will indeed end a lot of frustration and suffering in the future. Thanks! If only I knew this in the past 😜
dude i finally understand the margin... I never knew it collapses to the largest value! Now things make sense! You got my sub! You're amazing and thank you very much for this! Really really appreciate it! Vielen Dank!
Kudos! Excellent presentation and pace and style. You could teach a udemy or community college class for money for sure. Thanks! I'm just starting to learn CSS3
Thank you and to The Odin Project for such helpful information! I do not know how I was learning more advanced things without full understanding of this essential topic.
Great video, i tried skipping css and going straight to react/nextJs…suffice to say i found myself here not long after building up my logic knowledge so i can actually do something with it!
When I was originally learning about HTML and CSS on my own in high school I could have really used resources like this. I remember trying to align elements without the assistance of the box-sizing property. I would have to try and remember to subtract any padding and border from the defined height and width of any element and it felt like a monumental pain in the ass. This was exacerbated by the fact that I had not committed to memory that the usage of margin is crucial in spacing, causing me to severely overusing padding to do so.
Thank you so much for this. Its a lot better to understand. I ended up joining a bootcamp, but didn't quite mention the overlapping. Do you have a video as well for HTML arranged? for example, content inside the box model?
hey mate, i had seen the graphic before for the box model, i didnt know pre this video that you could inspect the box model in dev options - so your vid helped a lot - much easier than reading MDN notes on the same concet. also good to know that margins auto collapse. thanks!

This was super helpful, thanks noticing it and sharing!
As a cs grad working on his webdev skills for jobs, WOW dude what the hell! I could've saved actual real time with this!
Did not know the margins collapse. Thank you.
It is something that I did not realize for a long time as well. It definitely confused me a few times.
But in CSS grid that is no longer the case anymore, then both margins are displayed.
@@komkwam This is the case for CSS flex as well
ya , this help me a lot
what would be the idea behind margins behaving like that, very confusing!!!
Gets tricky with the height and width being eaten up after box sizing, but you make it easier to understand! Thanks!

Excellent explanation. This is by far the clearest I've found so far. Thanks!
Thanks! I am really glad you enjoyed it.
I've been watching tutorials where I would type in the CSS line by line hoping to finally understand what it means, but this video finally did it.
Studied the box model for 2 days and couldn't understand it yet
you explained it to me in 8 minutes and i understood everything!
Thanks!
The way you explained too easily is amazing. Got cleared many doubts. Thanks a lot
I thought I would never get it.
still consistent from odin project starting to realize how css is important to learn dont rush over
*realizing I’ve spent a couple weeks trying to understand something you explained so clearly in 8 minutes*

Still one of the best channel for leaning web dev in 2024

That is what I made this channel for. I want to help everyone understand web development as deeply as possible
no way!
There is a MDN article on this topic:developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Box_Model/Mastering_margin_collapsing 😀
Same here with the overlapping margins. Yikes. You'd think that more people would talk about that in learning resources.
The folks at The Odin Project were right. This is really very important and having this fundamental knowledge will indeed end a lot of frustration and suffering in the future. Thanks! If only I knew this in the past 😜
