Definition and Usage
The boxSizing property allows you to define certain elements to fit an area
in a certain way.
For example, if you want two bordered boxes side by side, it can be
achieved through setting boxSizing to "border-box". This forces the browser to
render the box with the specified width and height, and place the border and
padding inside the box.
