More Useful CSS Properties such as z-index, outline, overflow, max-width, and More

Absolutely! Here are some more useful CSS properties beyond the ones you’ve already explored:

Stacking and Layering

• z-index: Controls the stacking order of overlapping elements. Higher values appear on top.
• outline: Defines the style of the outline around an element when focused. Use for accessibility and visual cues.

Content Overflow

• overflow: Controls how content behaves when it overflows its container: visible (default), hidden (clips content), scroll (adds scrollbars), auto (scrollbars if needed).
• max-width and max-height: Set maximum width and height for an element, preventing unwanted overflowing content.

Sizing and Spacing

• margin: Adds space around an element on all sides (top, right, bottom, left).
• padding: Adds space inside an element on all sides.
• border: Sets the style, width, and color of the border around an element.
• border-radius: Rounds the corners of an element, creating curved edges.

Flexbox and Grid

• display: flex and display: grid: Powerful layout systems for creating complex and responsive layouts.
• Flexbox properties: justify-content, align-items, flex-direction, and more for precise control over flexbox elements.
• Grid properties: grid-template-columns, grid-template-rows, grid-gap, and more for defining flexible grid layouts.

Animations and Transitions

• animation: Create animated effects on elements like fading, rotating, or moving.
• transition: Smoothly change element properties over time, like hover effects or resizing.
