The height property is used to set the height of an element. The height property does not contain padding and margin and border of the element. 

Syntax:  

height: auto|length|initial|inherit;

Default Value: auto 

Property Values: 

  • auto: It is used to set the height property to its default value. If the height property is set to auto then the browser calculates the height of the element.
  • length: It is used to set the height of the element in the form of px, cm, etc. The length can not be negative.
  • initial: It is used to set the height property to its default value.
