The CSS Box Model: Margin, Border, Padding, and Content
The CSS box model describes a box as content surrounded by padding, border, and margin.
CSS Fundamentals
CSS looks simple until a style refuses to apply and you have no idea why. This section covers the mechanics that decide what actually renders: the cascade, specificity, inheritance, and the box model that governs every element's size. We keep the explanations concrete. Instead of definitions you forget in an hour, each guide shows the exact code, what the browser does with it, and the one insight that makes the behavior click for good.
CSS Cascade Layers: Control Priority with @layer
CSS cascade layers group styles into an explicit priority order with `@layer`.
CSS Specificity Explained: How the Cascade Decides Which Style Wins
CSS specificity is the scoring system browsers use to decide which rule wins when several target the same element.
CSS Units Explained: px vs em vs rem vs % vs vw
CSS units are either absolute (px, which never changes) or relative (em, rem, %, vw, vh, which scale against a reference).
