Original close reason(s) were not resolved
I am trying to make accessible menu with button components, but for some reason when I reuse the same css it does not extend. I tried the "min-width" solution but then if I have any margin it goes out of the box (like in third example)
So example1 and example2 uses the same class but gets different result.
Why the button acts differently than div even though it has the same display method?
(Difference between 100% margin question: I am asking specifically for button "hidden" parameters that affects shrinking compared to div)
.test {
background: orange;
width: 300px;
}
.test2 {
all: unset;
margin-left: 8px;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
}
.test2-with-minwidth {
min-width: 100%;
}
<div class="test">
<div class="test2">
<div class="left">hello2</div>
<div class="right">world</div>
</div>
<button class="test2">
<div class="left">hello2</div>
<div class="right">world</div>
</button>
<button class="test2 test2-with-minwidth">
<div class="left">hello2</div>
<div class="right">world</div>
</button>
</div>

It happens because you add margin to a width set to 100%.
You are probably looking for fill-available (CanIUse).
.container {
background: orange;
width: 300px;
}
.content {
margin-left: 8px;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
min-width: 100%;
}
.fill-available {
min-width: unset; /* not needed without the min-width above*/
width: -moz-available;
width: -webkit-fill-available;
width: fill-available;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="content">
<div class="left">hello2</div>
<div class="right">world</div>
</div>
<div class="content fill-available">
<div class="left">hello2</div>
<div class="right">world</div>
</div>
</div>
The difference between the div and button in your snippet comes from that a div takes by default all the remaining width while a button takes its content (plus some padding) as width.
.container {
width: 300px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.content {
background-color: orange;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="content">content</div>
<button class="content">content</button>
</div>

Why is that that no matter how many items are in this overflowX'd div, it will only horizontally scroll to the last item but ignore the right padding?

Here is a codepen.
Here is code:

<div class="body">
<div class="page">
<div class="regular-flow">
</div>
<div class="regular-flow">
</div>
<div class="regular-flow">

<div class="item">4</div>
<div class="item">5</div>
<div class="item">6</div>
<div class="item">7</div>

<div class="item">16</div>
</div>

<div class="regular-flow">

</div>
CSS
.body {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
height: 100vh;
background-color: grey;
}
.page {
height: 100vh;
width: 100%;
background-color: lightgrey;
overflow: hidden;
}
.regular-flow {
height: 20px;
background-color: limegreen;
margin: 10px 24px;
}
.container {
width: 100%;
height: 25%;
padding-left: 24px;
padding-right: 24px;
background-color: orangered;
display: flex;
gap: 16px;
overflow-x: scroll;
-ms-overflow-style: none;
scrollbar-width: none;
}
.container::-webkit-scrollbar {
display: none;
}
.item {
height: 100%;
width: 121px;
color: yellow;
background-color: blue;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
We have several "regular flow" items (green) that keep their own margin consistently down the page (grey). However, I'd like to have a horizontal scrolling div (blue and orangered) that disrespects these boundaries, allowing items to seemingly pass from "edge" to "edge" of the screen. My thought was to overflowX: 'scroll' a 100% width div and put padding on the left and right equal to the margin being set by the other items. This way, on the "edges" of the scrollable content, it appears to still respect the margin set by the other regularly flowing items. However, no matter what I try or how many items you put into this container, it will always scroll right only to the right edge of the last item. It will not show the last bit of right padding.
Things to keep in mind about the codepen
You have to have enough items for it to need to scroll horizontally, obviously.
I am hiding the scrollbar, so hover over the blue/orange container and shift+scrollwheel to move the items. I know this isn't great UX.
Most Basic Question
Why can you not scroll right far enough such that the padding-right (orangered) is visible?
Update
I was able to come up with a workaround for this issue, and that is to go into the parent component (in my codepen, this would be .container and remove the padding-right and padding-left at that level, but then add:
.container & .div:first-child {
padding-left: 24,
}
.container & .div:last-child {
padding-right: 24,
}
This seems to accomplish the same goals, but only if you do NOT have any background color to the .item. For my purposes, this works. I only added a background color here for visualizing the issue. I would still be curious if anyone can tell me what the problem above was, so I will keep this question up and not edit the codepen. Thanks!

Scrolling Nested Div, with Sometimes Present Auto Width Div [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to make a div fill a remaining horizontal space?
(26 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I currently am trying to figure out how to accomplish this:
The green box would have contents that may be greater than the width, and so the div needs to scroll horizontally, if longer than space available.
The red box may or may not be present, and can have a variable number of elements. If I have to make it a fixed width box, I can, if necessary.
The overall width however for the grey box can't be more than 100%.
I would use flexbox css.
.outer{
width: 90%;
background-color: #C4C4C4;
height: 40px;
border: 10px solid #C4C4C4;
display: flex;
flex-flow: row no-wrap;
}
.left {
flex-grow: 1;
background-color: #9BB18C;
height: 40px;
overflow-x: scroll;
}
.right {
flex-shrink: 1;
background-color: #D6514B;
height: 40px;
margin-left: 10px;
}
<div class="outer">
<div class="left">
<div class="content">XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX</div>
</div>
<div class="right">
YYYYYYY</div>
</div>
<br/><br/>
<div class="outer">
<div class="left">
<div class="content">XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX</div>

How to achieve the layout in the following image? [duplicate]

Maintain the aspect ratio of a div with CSS

Closed 2 years ago.
I devide the div into two parts, and achieve with Flex Box in each part.
<!--My Trials-->
<body>
<div>
<div class="container1" style="display: flex;">
<div class="item1" style="flex:1;background-color: yellowgreen;">1</div>
<div class="item1" style="flex:1;background-color: lightseagreen;">2</div>
<div class="item1" style="flex:1;background-color: palevioletred">3</div>
</div>
<div class="container2" style="display: flex;">
<div class="item2" style="flex:1;background-color: lightskyblue;">4</div>
<div class="item2" style="flex:2;visibility: hidden;">5</div><!-- hide the 5th div -->
</div>
</div>
</body>
I wonder how to turn each div into a square.
And Is there anyway can achive the layout without the help of the 5th div?
.container {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.item1 {
height: 100px;
width: 33%;
background-color: lightblue;
color: black;
}
.item2 {
height: 100px;
width: 33%;
background-color: lawngreen;
color: black;
}
.item3 {
height: 100px;
width: 33%;
background-color: pink;
color: black;
}
.item4 {
height: 100px;
width: 33%;
background-color: orange;
color: black;
}
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="item1">This is square 1</div>
<div class="item2">This is square 2</div>
<div class="item3">This is square 3</div>
<div class="item4">This is square 4</div>
</div>
</body>
The flex-wrap property allows elements to move to the next row when there is no more space on the current row. Making it completely responsive. And the width property is set to take up 33% of the view port window at all times.
Let me know if that works or if you need help with anything.

Flex grandchildren doesn't expand to immediate parent's height

I have the following layout (simplified version). .account is the flex-container and .card-two holds the actual table. When there is a lot of content, everything works fine, but when .card-two doesn't have enough content (when showing error messages), it does not fill the height of its parent .content. the cards have a background color set, so the entire effect looks quite ugly.
How do I make the card behave and stretch to fill its container? I tried setting height on .account, setting flex-basis:1 0 0, but it doesn't work. setting height:100% to .card-two just makes it massively overflow its parent. Note: I do not have a lot of control on the HTML.
HTML code:
<div class="container">
<div class="account">
<div class="sidebar">This is a sidebar aka the first column</div>
<div class="content">
<div class="card-one">this is card number one. full width of the parent</div>
<div class="card-two">this card should have a lot of content. but sometimes it doesn't.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS (without the changes I have tried):
.container{
// just a generic container.
width:1140px; margin:auto;
}
.account{
display: flex;
}
.sidebar{
width: 25%;
}
.content{
width: 75%;
}
here's a codepen (with some comments as to what I have tried): https://codepen.io/samia92/full/MVJqwQ
any help is much appreciated.
You need to add flex to .content then only card-two can have flexbox properties.
.container {
width: 600px;
margin: auto;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.account {
display: flex;
height: 400px;
}
.card {
background: #ddd;
box-shadow: 1px 2px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
padding: 15px;
}
.sidebar {
width: 25%;
margin-right: 10px;
}
.content {
width: 75%;
display: flex; /*Addded*/
flex-direction: column; /*Addded*/
}
.card-one {
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.card-two {
flex: 1; /*Addded*/
}
<div class="container">
<div class="account">
<div class="sidebar card">
This is a sidebar aka the first column
</div>
<div class="content">
<div class="card-one card">
<p>this is card number one. full width of the parent</p></div>
<div class="card-two card"><p>this card should have a lot of content. but sometimes it doesn't.</p>
<p>I want it to expand to it's parent, which has appropriate height</p>
<p>There You go.</p>
</div>

Flexbox many nested children

I've read many posts on flexbox but still have an issue that bugs me.
I want to have a sticky footer using flexbox as per this guide.
But then, inside my page content I would like to have as many nested divs I like and have them taking the same height of the parent.
The problem is, setting height: 100% on each child (as I would do in a non-flexbox scenario) works differently when flexbox is enabled. This results in the children getting more height (overflow the parent).
To make this more clear here's a codepen without flexbox
and a codepen with flexbox
You can see in the flexbox scenario the footer gets the green bakground even if I don't want that.
HTML:
<div class="sticky-footer-container">
<div class="sticky-footer-content">
<div class="page-container">
<div class="main-menu">
<div class="main-menu-selection">
<div class="main-menu-selection-text">
<div class="some-other-class">
Some text
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="main-menu-selection">
<div class="main-menu-selection-text">
<div class="some-other-class">
Some text
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sticky-footer">
Some footer content
</div>
</div>
SCSS:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
html,
body {
height: 100%;
background: silver;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.sticky-footer-container {
height: 100%;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
.sticky-footer-content {
height: 100%;
background: blue;
flex: 1;
div {
height: 100%;
}
.main-menu-selection {
height: 50%;
}
}
}
.some-other-class {
background: green;
}
In order to solve this, ANY nested div has to become a flex-container ?
In other words, is there any way to "stop the flex propagation" at some point of the tree, so all the divs gets the parent height without overflow?
display:flexbox is not really a valid value :)
you need to set height as well and eventually inherit it from html :
.sticky-footer-container {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.sticky-footer-content {
flex: 1;
}
/* let's inherit some height to pull the footer down */
html,
body,
.sticky-footer-container {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.sticky-footer {
display: flex;/* flex item can be flexboxes as well */
background: turquoise;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
min-height: 3em;
}
<div class="sticky-footer-container">
<div class="sticky-footer-content">
<div class="page-container">
<div class="main-menu">
<div class="main-menu-selection">
<div class="main-menu-selection-text">
<div class="some-other-class">
Some text
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="main-menu-selection">
<div class="main-menu-selection-text">
<div class="some-other-class">
Some text
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sticky-footer">
Here my footer
