The min-width property in CSS is used to define the minimum width of an element. The value of the width cannot be less than the value of the min-width. If the content specified within the element is smaller, min-width maintains the specified minimum width. 

Syntax:

min-width: length|initial|inherit;

Property Values:

  • length: This property is used to set the length of min-width. The length can be set in the form of px, cm, etc. 
  • percentage (%): It is used to set the minimum width in percentage. 
  • initial: It is used to set a min-width property to its default value. 
  • inherit: This property is inherited from its parent. 

Example: In this example, we use the min-width: length property.

html 
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head>     <title>min-width property</title>      <!-- min-width CSS property -->     <style>         p {             min-width: 300px;             display: inline-block;             color: white;             background-color: green;         }     </style> </head>  <body>     <p>         GeeksforGeeks: A computer science portal     </p> </body> </html>

Example: In this example we are using the min-width: % property.

html 
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head>     <title>min-width property</title>      <!-- min-width CSS property -->     <style>         p {             min-width: 35%;             display: inline-block;             color: white;             background-color: green;         }     </style> </head>  <body>     <p>         GeeksforGeeks: A computer science portal     </p> </body> </html>
