Width and height control element size. ## Fixed width (danger) ```css .box { width: 500px; } ``` Breaks on mobile. ## Flexible width (best) ```css .box { width: 100%; max-width: 500px; } ``` ## Height Avoid fixed height unless necessary. ## Real world advice - Let content decide height - Control width carefully ## Remember - max-width saves responsive layout - Fixed sizes cause problems
