title: Width Property

## Width Property
The width property sets the width of an element. It can be a keyword value, a length value (any value followed by a CSS unit like px or em), percentage, or it can be inherited by its parent. By default, its value is auto.
**Note**: The width property does not include padding, borders, or margins; it sets the width of the area inside the padding, border, and margin of the element!
```css
.length-value {width: 100px;}
.percentage {width: 50%;}
.auto {width: auto;}
.inherit {width: inherit;}
.initial {width: initial;}
```
**Note**: The min-width and max-width properties override width.
