How many ways can you display HTML elements?

  • Share this:

There are several ways to display HTML elements on a webpage:

1. Block-level elements: These elements take up the full width of their parent container and create a new line after them. Examples of block-level elements include `<div>`, `<h1>` to `<h6>`, `<p>`, `<ol>` and `<ul>`, and `<table>`.

2. Inline elements: These elements are placed inline with the surrounding text and only take up as much width as necessary. Examples of inline elements include `<a>`, `<b>` and `<i>`, `<img>`, and `<span>`.

3. Inline-block elements: These elements are similar to inline elements, but they can have a specified width and height and can contain other block-level elements. To display an element as an inline-block element, you can use the following CSS:

element {
  display: inline-block;
}

4. Flex elements: Flex elements are block-level elements that are flexible containers that can be used to lay out other elements in a flexible, responsive way. To display an element as a flex container, you can use the following CSS:

element {
  display: flex;
}

5. Grid elements: Grid elements are block-level elements that are used to create a grid of rows and columns for laying out other elements. To display an element as a grid container, you can use the following CSS:

element {
  display: grid;
}

Keep in mind that the `display` property is just one way to control how elements are displayed on a webpage. There are many other CSS properties and techniques that can be used to control the layout and appearance of elements, such as positioning, float, and flexbox.
