CSS Flexbox equal height rows different divs columns - html

Problem:
I'm creating a pricing list with 3 tiers. Nothing crazy here. But I've got a description which can be variable in length. So I can't use any fixed heights or it will break as I reduce the scale of the screen.
Current this is what it looks like:
You can see that the green line is not aligned whether each other.
Is it possible to align them and make them responsive too using flexbox?
I have a CodePen here that has all the code to create this:

I used jQuery to resolve the same taking your codepen demo.

CSS: How to control what happens when browser shrinks + Floats

I'm testing out some code for a random personal project and I'm looking to place 3 boxes side by side (I believe as divs). But as you'll see they're not really centered (as three)/spaced out so well. I figured assign them unique IDs and increase padding but is there a more efficient way?
Also when the screen shrinks, the third box dips underneath, while the second box is still on the same line I want it so all boxes drop at the same time.
Unfortunately, I need more reputation to post my code in the proper format it seems.
Not 100% sure if I get you correctly.
For "But as you'll see they're not really centered (as three)/spaced out so well. I figured assign them unique IDs and increase padding but is there a more efficient way?", if you wanna make them horizontally centered, you can try this:
wrap them in a container node.
assign a width to this container in its style.
set both margin-left and margin-right of this container to auto
This should then make these 3 boxes (actually the container) horizontally centered.
For "_Also when the screen shrinks, the third box dips underneath, while the second box is still on the same line I want it so all boxes drop at the same time. _", perhaps width: calc(100% / 3) is what you want to put in the styles of these boxes.
In modern web browsers, even if #Slash_D response is correct, you can get a more flexible alignment using flexbox (here you have a complete guide https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/).
Futhermore, if you want all the containers drop at the same time, you have to deal directly with media query based on resolutions (https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_mediaqueries.asp) , or use a grid system, like bootstrap, that helps you with media queries based on classess (https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/layout/grid/#how-it-works)
Hope it helps

Can't get CSS flexbox to expand properly

So I have a post-view that I can't get to work properly, and flexbox seemed like the answer from heaven that I was looking for. Except, I can't seem to figure it out properly no matter what...
If you look at this code, there's two vertical divs that should both stretch as more content gets added to either. The div where more content appears grows accordingly, but I want the other div to match in length, and so the bottom edges to be aligned to the bottom of the flex box. The repeating images behind the two founder buttons and the "LOTS OF TEXT" should then fill up empty space down to the bottom where the bottom-edge images are.
I've been at this for a good week now and can't figure it out... I'm sorry if this is a really simple thing or I'm being dense about css, I'm still learning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In your .forumviewright class, add this property:
height: 100px;
That brings the baselines together.
Just tested it in Chrome Dev Tools. It works. It also works in FIDDLE. But it doesn't seem to work in the CSSDesk sample you provided.
Whether or not this is the permanent solution you're looking for, you can let me know in the comments below.
EDIT
Your question begins with:
Can't get CSS flexbox to expand properly.
Actually, the flexbox is working fine. Both columns are binded to each other and expand equally, as per the flexbox rules.
If you highlight the child divs (.forumviewleft and .forumviewright) in Chrome Dev Tools or Firefox Inspector, you'll see that both columns are equal height and track each other regardless of content size on either side.
To illustrate this, I've added a background color to each column div so you can see that the flex is working properly. No other changes to the code were made. In this example, no matter how much content is placed in either column, both color-coded columns remain equal height.

Of course, the real problem is that the child container boxes inside these columns aren't tracking each other.
This will require some fundamental adjustments to your code. For a better understanding of this problem and how to fix it, see this post:
Height 100% on flexbox column child
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Alignment across table rows of divs with dynamic height (fluid layout) - CSS

I'm working on a mobile site, which has a fluid layout. On the main page, I have a table which contains a few products.
Each product has 3 divs: product-image, product-name and prices-container.
I can't seem to figure out how to align the prices-container div horizontally across the table-rows.
I'm thinking that there would be 2 approaches to this problem: either product-name always takes the height of the highest product-name across the table-row, either prices-container always sticks to the bottom of my product table-cell. Can't seem to figure out how to apply any.
Here's an illustration of the problem.
Left image shows my problem and right image shows how I would like it to be.
This wouldn't be a problem if product-name would have a fixed height, but due to the fact that this text is dynamic, I cannot know what height it will have. Might be one line of text, might be 10 lines.
I created a CodePen, where you can check my code and the problem >>here<< (I know it looks ugly, using background-colors to figure out faster what's happening).
I'm using Jade for my HTML and Stylus for my CSS.
Limitations:
- must be CSS & HTML only, I would prefer not using Javascript
- solution must be suitable for fluid layout (width is set with percentage)
- cannot use a fixed height of product-name, this being a dynamic text
Any ideas how to do this? Thank you! :)
add vertical-align:bottom; css style to .box1 class.
Similarly, add same style for .box4 css class.
Thanks,

HTML/CSS - 3 columns that resize

I am building a very simple page, powered by tumblr.
It has 3 columns of content in the main area. The content divs are all set to a width of 33% and floated left, most of the time this arranges itself as you would expect, but as you resize the window it seems to sometimes revert to 2 columns. Anyone know how to solve this?
The html is here: http://emilestest.tumblr.com
Try to set the .item css width to: 32%. The browser probably miscalculates width sometimes so you probably have a extra pixel or two, so the float overlaps to next line.
There is a Javascript action involved. Your article html elements gets the absolute position and some coordinates. Have a look over those scripts (or disable them, in order to use only CSS for positioning).
In your specific case, there are several solutions:
Place + size the divs with JavaScript and disable CSS layout
Use display: table
Use a table element
Disclaimer: For all those who cry out when they read table:
Using divisions to simulate a table for the display of tabular data is as much a design flaw as using tables to control graphic and page layout.

3 column fit-fluid-fit layout with CSS

How do I create a fit/fluid/fit column layout with CSS? By fit I mean the column width is that of the content in it. I do not want to set a pixel or percentage width for the outer columns, I want them to be the width of the content within them. I've resorted to using tables for the time being but it feels very wrong. Any suggestions?
Found a CSS only solution. Just tried it, works great.
http://www.thecssninja.com/xhtml/sangraal-layout
At first glance it seems like a 'fixed'-'fluid'-'fixed' layout, but you'll find if you remove the fixed widths on the right and left column that the columns 'fit' to the text you provide, and the center remains fluid without the center column or the container needing to know anything about the widths of the left and right columns.
Truly the Sangraal.

Not using table, but maybe you can have a look there http://www.alistapart.com/d/holygrail/example_4.html that seems to be very similar of what you need.
