Flexbox layout. Unable to get boxes to same width [duplicate] - html

How to give flex items equal width?
(2 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
Been browsing the net for solutions to my problem getting all the flexboxes the same width, but with no luck. Therefore I try to ask you here.
As you might see, if the description is long, the box is also wider. Been playing around with word-wrap: break-word; without any luck.
See snippet below or jsfiddle.
.buttons {
display: flex;
}
.buttons>a {
margin: 0 5px;
}
.food-box {
flex: 1;
position: relative;
background-color: white;
min-height: 300px;
background-color: #ffffff;
box-shadow: 0 3px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.10);
border-color: #d3e0e9;
border: 1px solid #b3c9e5;
word-wrap: break-word;
margin: 0 !important;
padding: 0 !important;
}
.food-box .food-box-image {
position: absolute top: 0 left: 0;
background-image: url('https://images.pexels.com/photos/461198/pexels-photo-461198.jpeg?h=350&auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb');

Answer 1

I think these two setting and erasing the width from .foodbox should do the trick, since the .foodbox elements are not the flex items, but the flex-items' children:
.buttons > * {
width: 20%;
}
.buttons > * > *{
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}

Answer 2

You could add width to asp:LinkButton elements, something like:
[runat]{
width: calc(100% / 5);
}

Answer 3

This seems to solve by applying a fixed width on 'food-box' with overflow:hidden. I did away with 'break-word' and centered the content:
.buttons {
display: flex;
}
.buttons > a {
margin: 0 5px;
}
.food-box {
flex: 1;
width: 200px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
background-color: white;
min-height: 300px;
background-color: #ffffff;
box-shadow: 0 3px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.10);
border-color: #d3e0e9;
border: 1px solid #b3c9e5;
word-wrap: break-word;
margin: 0 !important;
padding: 0 !important;
}
.food-box .food-box-image {
position: absolute top: 0 left: 0;
background-image: url('https://images.pexels.com/photos/461198/pexels-photo-461198.jpeg?h=350&auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb');
background-size: cover;
width: 100%;
min-height: 150px;
background-color: red;
}
.food-box .food-box-content {
position: absolute bottom: 0 left: 0;
/* word-wrap: break-word; */
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
min-height: 150px;
background-color: #e25822;
color: #fff;
font-size: 70%;
padding-top: 60px;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
}
.food-box .food-box-badge {
display: table;
background-color: #ffffff;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
line-height: 100px;
border-radius: 50%;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
text-align: center;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 39px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75);
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 39px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75);
box-shadow: 0px 0px 39px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75);

padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
}
.food-box .food-box-badge span {

display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
line-height: 1.2em;
word-wrap: break-word;
}
