Can I use max-width and min-width, max-height and min-height in the same property?

for example:

.box {min-height: 50px; max-height:50px; min-width: 50px; max-width: 50px;}

yeah, sorry Shawn, i meant ...box {min-height: 50px; max-height:100px; min-width: 50px; max-width: 100px;}, would it work with percentages as well? thanks!

ah gotcha!

Yes you absolutely can! In fact that is really what the standard was created for!

Also you can play and experiment with these kinds of things at codepen.io
