Box-sizing reset

CSS, Layout, Beginner

Resets the box-model so that width and height are not affected by border or padding.

box-sizing: border-box makes the addition of padding or borders not affect an element's width or height.
box-sizing: inherit makes an element respect its parent's box-sizing rule.
