Elements not filling entire width of screen on mobile using css grid - html

Question

I am trying to mock up a design for a personal/resume website, the page looks how I intended it too before resizing the page, but after resizing to mobile some of the elements on my page don't occupy the entire width of the screen(I am using a single column on mobile).
I have a 2 column layout on desktop, which changes to a single column layout for mobile with a media query, the problem occurs after the breakpoint for the media query. I have added "width=100%" to all of the elements that are impacted, as well as tried to turn on and off each style rule, such as margin and padding, individually in chrome developer tools. After several days I'm sure I am just missing whatever the problem is, or have a fundamental misunderstanding.

Answer 1

Remember that padding is internal to the border of the column, so makes little difference here. Also remeber that classes are gonna be your best friend with this sort of thing, simple change some CSS of the single class in a media query and add this class to each column you want to change for mobile. That way you reduce how much code you chuck into each MQ.
Firstly, as a quick-fix (but ideally not permanent) try adding in the MQ, this CSS:
.your-div-class {
width: 100%;
right: 0;
}
Also, disable your x-overflow (of the body) to avoid any nasty side-scrollbars!
See whether the ' right: 0; ' property helps bring it fully to the right.
Here's what I would do:
Give each column the same class of "responsive-col" or something, then pop this into an MQ, and style it like so:
#media screen and (max-width:700px){
.responsive-col {
margin: 0;
right: 0;
width: 100%;
font-size: 22px;
display: block;
}
}
There's loads to say, but this would hopefully solve it and if you have another question I'll just answer that.
