Tailwind Width Absolute Units
Absolute units are units of measurement in CSS that are not based on the relative size of other elements.
They have fixed values and remain constant regardless of the size or dimensions of the viewport or other elements on the page.
The most common absolute units are pixels (px), points (pt), inches (in), centimeters (cm), and millimeters (mm).
Syntax
The Tailwind width class follows a simple naming convention that consists of two parts: w- and the width value.
The width value can be specified in pixels (px), percentages (%), or using one of the predefined width classes.
<element class="w-10">...</element>
This example showcases the implementation of Tailwind width calsses using absolute units:
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><head>
<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>
</head>
<body class="m-3 text-center">

Tailwind Width Relative Units
Relative units are CSS units that are relative to another property or value, typically the font size of the element or the width of its parent container. They are particularly useful for creating flexible, responsive designs that adapt to different screen sizes and devices.
Syntax
<element class="w-2/3">...</element>

<!DOCTYPE html>
