Description

The inset-block-end CSS property is a part of the "inset" shorthand property used for specifying the offset distance of an element from its containing block in the block direction. Specifically, "inset-block-end" sets the distance between the bottom edge of the element and the bottom edge of its containing block. It is commonly used in conjunction with other inset properties like "inset-block-start," "inset-inline-start," and "inset-inline-end" to precisely position elements within their containers. This property is particularly useful for creating responsive and flexible layouts in CSS, allowing developers to control element positioning with ease.

Interactive Demo

I am absolutely positioned.
The rusty swing set creaked a lonely lullaby in the twilight, shadows lengthening like grasping fingers across the dew-kissed grass. A lone dandelion seed, adrift on the breeze, whispered secrets of faraway fields, of dandelion suns and galaxies spun from fluff. Somewhere, beyond the veil of dusk, a coyote laughed, echoing through the stillness like a forgotten memory.
