CSS Layout - The display Property

The display property specifies how an element is displayed. Every HTML element has a default display value depending on what type of element it is. The default display value for most elements is block or inline.

Block-level Elements

A block-level element always starts on a new line and takes up the full width available (stretches out to the left and right as far as it can).

Examples of block-level elements:

<div>
<h1> - <h6>
<p>
<form>
<header>
<footer>
<section>

Inline Elements

An inline element only takes up width as much as necessary.

Examples of inline elements:

<span>
<a>
<img>

Display: none;

display: none; is usually used with JavaScript to show and hide elements without deleting and recreating them.

Display Inline Property

Override The Default Display Value

Every element has a default display value and you can override this. Changing an inline element to a block element, or vice versa, can be useful for making the page look a specific way, and still follow the web standards.

Display Block Property

Setting the display property of an element only changes how the element is displayed, NOT what type of element it is. So, an inline element with display: block; is not allowed to have other block elements inside it.

The following example of displaying <span> and <a> elements as block elements:
