Display

Introduction to the Display Property

The display property in CSS is fundamental for controlling the layout of elements. Here's a brief overview:

• Inline vs. Block: inline elements do not start on a new line and only take up as much width as necessary. In contrast, block elements start on a new line and occupy the full width available.

• Flexbox and Grid: Use flex or grid values to create more complex layouts. flex is used for one-dimensional layouts, while grid is suitable for two-dimensional layouts.

• Responsive Design: These properties can help create responsive web designs, adjusting layout based on screen size.

• None Value: Setting display to none removes the element from the document layout, making it invisible but still part of the DOM, unlike visibility: hidden, which hides an element but retains its layout space.

Display in Workmaster

You can select the display value in Workmaster from the following options:

This is a Conditional Value field. Such fields allow you to specify values directly OR use a Formula to specify a value. Conditional values are useful for specifying different values for changing situations, such as varying device types or screen sizes.

Understanding these key points can significantly affect how elements are arranged and interacted with on a webpage.
