CSS RWD Grid view

A grid view is a layout system that organizes content on a webpage in a grid structure. The grid in its responsive form adapts to different screen sizes and devices.

A grid view involves dividing the webpage into a series of columns and rows. Each section of the grid can contain different elements such as images, text, and any other content. A typical grid-view may have 12 columns, and has a total width of 100%. The grid will shrink and expand as the size of the browser changes.

CSS RWD Grid view - Building

In order to build a grid view, one must make sure that all the HTML elements have the box-sizing property set to border-box. Setting of this property makes the padding and border are included in the total width and height of the elements. Use the following code snippet to set the box-sizing propert:

* {
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

Add the above syntax to your CSS.
