In this article, we would like to show you how to set element max width using CSS.

Quick solution:

.element {
    max-width: 100px;
}

 

Practical example

In this example, we use max-width CSS property to set element maximum width to 200px. If the width property percentage value will be more than 200px, the max-width property will prevent the element from expanding horizontally.

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>

    div.element {
        width: 90%;
        max-width: 200px;
        background: orange;
    }

  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div class="element">Example text inside ...</div>
</body>
</html>
