<title>HTML CSS Exercise - Let padding and border not affect available width and height</title><!-- Title of the HTML document -->
<style> /* Opening style tag for CSS */
.container div{ /* Targeting div elements inside container class */
    /* Setting the box-sizing method: */
box-sizing:border-box; /* Include padding and border in the element's total width and height */
    /* Firefox still requires the -moz prefix */
    -moz-box-sizing:border-box; /* For Firefox compatibility */
width:200px; /* Width of the div */
height:150px; /* Height of the div */
display:inline-block; /* Display as inline block */

Explanation:

  • The HTML structure consists of a container div with three child divs, each representing a column.
  • CSS is used to style the columns.
  • box-sizing:border-box; ensures that padding and border are included in the total width and height of the elements, preventing them from affecting the layout.
  • Each column has its own styling for color, background color, padding, and border.
  • The columns are displayed as inline-block elements to appear horizontally aligned.
  • The colors and dimensions are set according to the provided styles.
