    Hello, I don’t understand the difference between max-width alone and max-width with width:100%.
    If we tell about responsive layout, it is better to write:

    width:100%
    max-width: 900px

    or only:

    max-width: 900px

    Or there is not difference? Thanks and regards..

    No Difference, unless someone can tell me otherwise.

    I do write

    max-width:1200px;
    width:100%;

    If the element is a div for example (with default positioning and block level display), it will automatically have a width of 100% anyway…

    Of course if the element is absolutely positioned, it will need the width to be declared explicitly.

    Edit:

    default positioning

    Or relative…
