What Do They Do?

In CSS, the fundamental visual rendering model places all components of the document tree in physical and virtual rectangular boxes, each having a specific height and width. The dimension properties describe the details influencing the calculation and visual rendering of an element's line, in-line and block box dimensions. The actual values for an element's visually rendered height and width are dependent on many criteria, including the intrinsic type of the current element and the dimensions of the element's containing block.
