Width

Set the width of an element.

Syntax
      width: width | auto | inherit ;

width - The width in px, pt, em, % etc.
auto - The browser will calculate and select a width (default).
min-content - The intrinsic minimum width. Experimental/CSS 3. (Firefox moz-min-content and Chrome webkit-min-content).
max-content - The intrinsic preferred width. Experimental/CSS 3. (Firefox moz-max-content and Chrome webkit-max-content).
fit-content - The intrinsic minimum width if available. Experimental/CSS 3. (Firefox moz-fit-content and Chrome webkit-fit-content).
inherit - inherit from the parent element.

If a DIV contains more text than will fit within a limited width, then it will scroll below the bottom border. If a single word is wider than the width then it will spill outside the right border.

The min and max-content values are not particularly useful on the width property, but are often set on min-width and max-width.

Examples:
h1 { width: 250px; }
.emw3class { width: 25em; }
#emw3id { width: 400pt; }

Try it:

(CSS 1) Browser Support: All major browsers. IE versions up to and including 7 don’t support the value inherit.
