Lesson

The visible box combines content, padding, border, and margin. Block, flex, and grid place children in a flow; save free positioning for cases that truly need it. Padding belongs inside a box, while margin separates it from neighbors.

Key ideas

  • Content, padding, border, and margin
  • Block and normal flow
  • Fixed, fill, and hug sizing
  • Intentional free positioning
