The width property allows you to set the width of an element
of text or an image. For example, you could embed an image into a specified
position within a text using the float property. Then use the width
and/or height properties to specify an exact size for the image.
If you set the width of an element to a specified value and set
the height property to auto, the element will be scaled
proportionally (i.e., you maintain the aspect ratio).
length
The length value can be in any of the following seven dimensions.
Use the abbreviation.
| Length |
Abbrev. |
| centimeters |
cm |
| ems |
em |
| inches |
in |
| millimeters |
mm |
| picas |
pc |
| pixels |
px |
| points |
pt |
percentage
The percentage value is based upon the total width being defined
as 100%.
auto
The auto value directs the browser to automatically calculate
the width. If both the width and height are set to auto,
the dimensions of the text or image element remains unchanged. By declaring
auto, you can ensure that any previous declaration will not effect
the width of the selected element.
Code:
img { width: 150mm; }
