The grid-row-start property in CSS is used to define the grid items’ start position within the grid row by specifying the inline start edge of its grid area.
Syntax:
grid-row-start: auto|span|row-line|initial|inherit;
Default value: auto
Property Values:
- auto: It sets the grid-row-start property to its default value of one row.
- span: It specifies the number of rows the item will span.
- integer(row-line): It specifies the row on which the item starts.
- initial: It sets the grid-row-start property to its default value.
- inherit: The grid-row-start property is inherited from its parent.
Note: Don’t initialize the height and width of the items of the container explicitly. If initialized, the span effect can’t be observed.
Example 1: This example describes the container items without the grid-row-start property.
