When people think about sizes with CSS the most common thought is font sizes. But you can set or change the size of nearly anything on your web page with CSS. You can use the font-size property to define the size of your text elements. You can use width and height to define the width and height of almost any other element, including the width of the entire page. But along with the size elements, you need to know how to use the different measurement options like px, em, and %. What this means is that figuring out CSS sizes can be very challenging.
