On the web, everything is a box, literally everything. All the elements, the images, the videos, the paragraphs, the headings, entire sections, everything! And with everything being a box, everything has this box-model applied to it. We see, the box model consists of the content, the padding, the border, and the margin.

Jesus bro, everyone is focusing on making short videos without details, but this 17 min long is worth every second. thanks so much.

[@niinjablade9369]

This is the holy book of CSS Box models, thank you.

[@magnumjade45]

[@badcatdesign]

I use the mnemonic of “TRouBLe” to remember the order of Top Right Bottom Left. Keeps me out of TRBL 😂 Thanks for the video.

[@olufemiajibade]

[@christopherkallas9305]

[@rajatkatal9311]

For Me clock is a good reference 😂

[@sneaksneak6522]

You're such an incredible teacher, I will buy your course, thank you

[@jayjaayjaaay94]

can you give me the review of the course? I am consider to buying it as backend engineer who dislikes learn css 🥲

[@sneaksneak6522]

​@@jayjaayjaaay94 I really enjoyed it. If you like his teaching style here on youtube, you will enjoy the course. It doesn't teach you absolutely everything, but in my case it took me from not understanding CSS and hacking my way through it, to being confident enough to use it with little effort

[@ride-time]

That is by far the best explanation of the box model I've ever seen. Nice work!

[@rb2k197]

Wow you explained this a lot better, I am doing some online boot camp and i get confused by this margin, padding, and elements and you help me understand it.

[@SuperDarmino]

i cant unhear Border-Box in Slay's voice 😭😭

[@mattnj8080]

Your videos are great. I love the tips that go beyond just showing how it works. This is the first time I've heard of border-box which helped me a lot as I was always doing math before and layouts were confusing.

[@richardsinclair7661]

Thank you so much. You've been the best that I've found at explaining CSS in a way that is both clear and straightforward.

[@rickyp9803]

Excellent, excellent, excellent, explanation. Thank you very much, you've made clear a whole bunch of things that I as a beginner studying web development, have been trying to figure out and no other video was able to explain it as you do in this one. For example, what does the box and it's sections in the developers tools mean, as well as how to use and understand the box model in the developer tools. You have given me a clear understanding of that tool. Again, muchísimas gracias.

[@RancorSweetly]

I didn't even realize I needed to know this thank you!! Great video start yeah! 🔥

[@johnmellet6610]

Thanks!

[@slayingthedragon]

Thank very much !!

[@basmalabasmala7176]

the best one eveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer

[@trocandobytes]

Your videos are very concise and helpful ! I was wondering if you could make tutorials on how to make complete website layouts, with different templates covering the most used ones. You could make use of flex or grid to make they adapt nicely on any divice, depending of the layout, and using the correct semantics. Could you ?

[@rejoiceokafor5988]

You're good❤🔥

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@halcyon__r3289]

Didnt know about the default margin

[@kenanklovitch8117]

Wow, I am barely above a novice but I understood that (I think). Thank you.

[@dorthychristobel5106]

Thank you🥹

[@Bingbangbong28]

awesome

[@SRG-Learn-Code]

In your webpage, the javascript course overflows the element within the 1024px media query. Seems like the grid is forced too much . @media (min-width: 1024px) .Courses_item2__LS7ps { grid-area: 1/5/3/-1; }

[@thatoneshortkidjordy2144]

fire video 😎

[@slayingthedragon]

😎😎

[@flashingturtle6505]

Bravo sir

[@fatemeetsluck]

This was extremely helpful. I'm trying to make a sort of Bible study note HTML app sort of thing that can display the text on one side and the annotations on the right, all without using deprecated HTML elements such as "frame".

[@PascalHorn]

I can see a star selector to reset padding and margin, but I have my doubts about resetting box-sizing to all elements. The problem occurs, when you insert widgets or other code from a third party, that uses padding without specifying a border-box. It can break their intended box model for their widgets. An at least not uncommon occurrence I have to fix from time to time. I’d use it with caution.

[@slayingthedragon]

This is valid honestly, well said.

[@Halonyr]

For situations like this, you can simply see if it breaks, and then override the border-box with your content-box instead. These resets save you time 95% of the time, and I think is a reasonable reset to keep for all projects.

[@dixalex02]

Great explanation. Learned something new with the box-model and you're right, based on its powerful functionality is should be applied to the entire DOM. What is the compatibility of this? IE7 (I'm showing my age)?

[@slayingthedragon]

Thank you! Here's the browser support, it's overwhelmingly supported, only IE6 and 7 aren't caniuse.com/?search=border-box

[@Basem71992]

For those who don’t understand the video from the first time of watching it , do rewatch it and practice what is he doing in your workspace. Man , thank you so much , you really helped me to understand this very well .

[@putudharma4352]

1st here :) waiting for your content for a while

[@BibekGotame]

Post some video myan. Eagerly waiting for

[@user-cj3cl3bu4r]

You're good

[@BigBadBelgium9803]

Hey man, wasn't sure where to ask this so resorting to this responce section. Would you by any chance know why this 'display: flex; " css code wouldn't work for Microsoft edge browser on a sharepoint page? I've copied your code 100% correct and the tiles in my container stay vertically. If i run the code at home on a firefox browser it works perfectly. So its either the edge browser at work or the fact i am using this type of code inside a sharepoint enviroment. Thx for your help.

[@David-cz9ej]

Thank you very much for the Video :D One question: At 17:02 why not move the margin: 0; and the padding: 0; to the upper *, *::before, *:after selector? Why have you left a separate * selector?

[@slayingthedragon]

It is perfectly fine to do so, however there is no margin nor padding to be reset within the contexts of a before or after pseudo-element, whereas there is a box-sizing to be reset. Having both resets separated is somewhat more semantic, because like I said, within the contexts of a before or after pseudo-element, there is no margin and padding.

[@David-cz9ej]

@@slayingthedragon Thank you for replying to all the questions! It means the world to us ♥️
