Set the maximum height of a <p> element to 50 pixels:
p.ex1 {
max-height: 50px;
}
Try it Yourself »
The max-height
property defines the maximum height of an element.
If the content is larger than the maximum height, it will overflow. How the container will handle the overflowing content is defined by the overflow property.
If the content is smaller than the maximum height, the max-height
property has no effect.
Note: This prevents the value of the height property from becoming larger than max-height
. The value of the max-height
property overrides the height property.
