La prima tappa della mostra è a Berlino 1-18 giugno per la Dmy!

All web pages use a container and for the same purpose; to contain page elements, however the way it is accomplished varies. Types of container: Liquid: Expands to fill the width of the browser window.Fixed: A specific width you choose which does not change regardless of browser window size. 3.
