The difference between inline elements and block-level elements

1. The difference between inline elements and block-level elements

1. Inline elements will not occupy the entire line and are arranged in a straight line. They are all on the same line, arranged horizontally;

Block-level elements will occupy one line, arranged vertically.

　2. Block-level elements can contain inline elements and block-level elements; inline elements cannot contain block-level elements.

3. The difference between the attributes of inline elements and block-level elements is mainly due to the box model attributes. The width and height settings for inline elements are invalid (line-height can be set), and the margin up and down is invalid. , padding up and down is invalid.

2. Conversion of inline elements and block-level elements

Conversion of inline elements For block elements: display:block;

Block elements are converted into inline elements ： display:inline;

##3. Question extension

Question description: Why can the width and height of inline elements such as img and input be set?

Detailed answer:

Elements are the basis of the document structure. In CSS, each element generates a box (box, also translated as "box") that contains the content of the element. But different elements will be displayed differently. For example,

and

are different, and and

are also different. Different types are specified for different elements in the document type definition (DTD), which is one of the reasons why DTD is important to documents.

　

1. Replaceable and non-replaceable elements

From the characteristics of the element itself, it can be divided into replaceable and non-replaceable elements.

a) Replace element

Replacement element means that the browser determines the specific display content of the element based on its tag and attributes.

　For example, the browser will read the image information and display it based on the value of the src attribute of the tag, but if you view the (X)HTML code, you cannot see the actual content of the image; another example Determine whether to display an input box, radio button, etc. based on the type attribute of the tag.

　　(X), , , <select>, <object> in HTML are all replacement elements. These elements often have no actual content, that is, an empty element, for example: <p></p>　　<img src="cat.jpg" /><p>　　<input type="submit" name="Submit " value="Submit" /></p> <p>　 The browser will display these elements based on their tag type and attributes. Replaceable elements also generate boxes in their display. <br></p> <p></p> b) Non-replaceable elements <p></p> Most elements of (X)HTML are non-replaceable elements, that is, their content is directly displayed to the user (such as a browser). For example: <p></p>　　<p>Paragraph content</p><p></p>　 Paragraph<p> is a non-replaceable element, and the text "Paragraph content" is fully displayed. <p></p> <p></p>　2. Display elements<p></p> In addition to the classification methods of replaceable elements and non-replaceable elements, there is another classification method for elements in CSS 2.1: block-level elements ( block-level) and inline elements (inline-level, also translated as "inline" elements). <p></p> a) Block-level elements <p></p> The most obvious feature of an element that is visually formatted as a block is that it fills the content area of ​​its parent element horizontally by default, and on both its left and right sides Block-level elements are on their own line by default if there are no other elements. <p></p> Typical block-level elements are: <p>, <p>, <h1> to <h6>, and so on. <p></p> 　　Elements that are floated (float attribute, can float to the left or right) through CSS and set the display attribute to "block" or "list-item" are all block-level elements. . <p></p> <p>　 But floating elements are special. Due to floating, there may be other elements next to them. And "list-item" (list item <li>) will generate a dot symbol or numeric sequence in front of it. </p> <p> </p> <p> b) Inline elements</p> <p> Inline elements do not form a new content block, that is, there can be other elements around them, such as <a>, <span>, <strong> etc. are all typical inline-level elements. </p> <p>　　 Elements whose display attribute is equal to "inline" are all inline elements. Almost all replaceable elements are inline elements, such as <img>, <input>, etc. </p> <p> However, the type of elements is not fixed. By setting the display attribute of CSS, inline elements can be changed into block-level elements, and block-level elements can also be changed into inline elements. </p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family: Microsoft YaHei"> 3. Conclusion: </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 宋体"> Replacement elements generally have intrinsic dimensions, so they have width and height, which can be set. For example, if you do not specify the width and height of img, it will be displayed according to its intrinsic size, which is the width and height of the image when it is saved. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 宋体">For form elements, browsers also have default styles, including width and height. </span></p> <p> </p> <p>For more related articles on the difference between inline elements and block-level elements, please pay attention to the PHP Chinese website! <br></p> <p><br></p></div><div class="nphpQianMsg"><div class="clear"></div></div><div class="nphpQianSheng"><span>Statement：</span><div>The content of this article is voluntarily contributed by netizens, and the copyright belongs to the original author.
