Before differentiating between the two box models, let's briefly explain what is called a box model.
Principle:
First of all, let's talk about the property names that we often hear in web design:content, padding (padding), Border (border), border (margin), CSS Box mode has these properties. These properties we can transfer it to our daily life in the box (box) to understand that the daily life of the box is a box that can be loaded, but also have these properties, so call it box mode. Features: Each box has: border, border, padding, content four properties, each property includes four parts: Upper, right, bottom, left, these four parts can be set at the same time, can also be set separately; the thickness of the anti-seismic accessories, and the border has the size and color of the points, We can also understand the thickness of the box in life and what color the box is made of, and the boundary is how far the box is kept from other things.
