<div>
  <h1>Hey Universe!</p>
    <p>Check out this amazing text within the p element. It changes size as I adjust the viewport</p>
</div>

Could you explain why the text resizes when I change the viewport size, even without a container class? (If possible, I'd love to see an example to compare the difference between a div with a container class and without one)

Answer №1

Typically, a div element will have a width of 100%, meaning it will adjust its size based on the viewport's dimensions when resized. This applies when the div is a direct child of the body tag or any other element that always takes up the full width of the viewport.

Although Bootstrap offers specific classes for styling, if none of those are applied, a div should still function as a standard div element (i.e. without utilizing any Bootstrap styles).
