#test {
width: 300px;

border: 1px solid red;

Expected behaviour: it should truncate whole list not individual item.

This works fine on ie 11 and Firefox, chrome but not on safari. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You have to use proper flex declarations for all browsers. Following code block made your fiddle look good in my Safari (win8).
display: -webkit-box; /* OLD - iOS 6-, Safari 3.1-6 */
display: -moz-box; /* OLD - Firefox 19- (buggy but mostly works) */
display: -ms-flexbox; /* TWEENER - IE 10 */
display: -webkit-flex; /* NEW - Chrome */
display: flex;

In one of my website pages, I would like to add a picture with a dynamic size.
To do this, I follow the excellent tutorial of W3school : link
This method works perfectly on Safari and Chrome; but gives me an error on firefox..
Doing the analysis of the containers sizes, I thought the calculation seems to be different..
First, here is the Chrome and Safari method:
Red block has a width of 50% (respect to the blue one)
Red block has a height of 40% (because we also use the width of the blue one as basis for % calculation)
Then, in firefox it gives me this result :
Red block has a width of 50% (respect to the blue one)
Red block has a height of 40% of the height of the blue one, and not 40% of his parent width !
body {
background-color: blue;
}
.home_box {
margin: auto;
margin-bottom: 40px;
width: 90%;
display: -webkit-box;
/* OLD - iOS 6-, Safari 3.1-6 */
display: -moz-box;
/* OLD - Firefox 19 */
display: -ms-flexbox;
/* TWEENER - IE 10 */
display: -webkit-flex;
/* NEW - Chrome */
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
#home_picture {
width: 32%;
height: 0px;
padding-top: 18.1%;
background-color: red;
/*background: url('../Img/picture.jpg') no-repeat;
background-size: contain;*/
}
.home_box p {
width: 68%;
}
<div class="home_box">
<div id="home_picture"></div>
<p>Lorem ipsum</p>
</div>
Could you help fixed this issue please ?
Perhaps it's a problem with your Firefox version. When I run this code (slightly tweaked from yours and shown below) on Firefox 72 I get an output shown in the image below, same as what I get in old Microsoft Edge, Chromium-based Edge and Safari. Is the output correct?
body{
background-color: blue;
}
.home_box
{
margin: auto;
margin-bottom: 40px;
width: 90%;
display: -webkit-box; /* OLD - iOS 6-, Safari 3.1-6 */
display: -moz-box; /* OLD - Firefox 19 */
display: -ms-flexbox; /* TWEENER - IE 10 */
display: -webkit-flex; /* NEW - Chrome */
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
#home_picture
{
width: 32%;
height: 0px;
padding-top: 18.1%;
background-color: red;
background-size: contain;

.home_box p

I've successfully created a list using the following answer with flexbox on my HTML page How to display 3 items per row in flexbox?
I have a need to create a PDF with this data and I'm using wkhtmltopdf (https://wkhtmltopdf.org/) which also works fine however the PDF generated has all my List Items in 1 long column instead of 3 per row.
Looks like the CSS is not being processed when the PDF generation is happening any insight is appreciated.
This worked for me :
.row {
display: -webkit-box; /* wkhtmltopdf uses this one */
display: flex;
-webkit-box-pack: center; /* wkhtmltopdf uses this one */
justify-content: center;
}
.row > div {
-webkit-box-flex: 1;
-webkit-flex: 1;
flex: 1;
}
.row > div:last-child {
margin-right: 0;
}
See https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/issues/1522 for more informations.
I resolved this issue using:
equivalent of display:flex; ==> display: -webkit-box;
equivalent of justify-content: space-between; ==> -webkit-box-pack: justify;
Some useful informations coming from:

I used autoprefixer in my application to automatically add prefixes. You just need to update browsersList with ie >= 9.
Try to decrease the width of the flex columns. For example when I tried to make 50/50 columns I had to put a width of 49.8% instead of 50%. Hope it helps.
To use flex or boxes while converting to pdf, You need webkit
Example:-
display: flex;
display: -webkit-flex;
for justify-content and align items you have to use
-webkit-align-self: flex-end;
align-self: flex-end;
webkit-justify-content: space-between;
justify-content: space-between;
As fix for Bootstrap 5, working with wkhtmltopdf 0.12.*, I found and completed the following style
<style>
/* Fix wkhtmltopdf compatibility with BS flex features */
.row {
display: -webkit-box;
display: flex;
-webkit-box-pack: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.row>div {
-webkit-box-flex: 1;
-webkit-flex: 1;
flex: 1;
}
.row>div:last-child {
margin-right: 0;
}
/* Fix wkhtmltopdf compatibility with BS tables borders */
/* Requires cellspacing="0" on table to prevent spacing */
table {
border-collapse: separate !important;
}
th,
td {
border-top: none;
border-left: none;
border-right: none;
}
</style>
source saved my day while upgrading from bs 4 to bs 5.
This worked for me:
.row {
white-space: nowrap;
> div {
display: inline-block;
white-space: normal;
}
}
I'm using flexbox here - http://marcinzalewski.net/exo/ but I can't fix this for IE 11. Even Microsoft Edge is working fine and IE 11 is only version I need to fix.
My flex-container look like this:
.flex-container {
max-width: 1240px;
display: -webkit-box;
display: -moz-box;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-flow: row wrap;
-webkit-flex-wrap: row wrap;
justify-content: center;
padding: 0;
margin: 0 auto;
list-style: none;
}
And this is my inside elements code:
.offer-element {
width: 250px;
height: 250px;
border-radius: 50%;
margin-top: 60px;
margin-left: 25px;
margin-right: 25px;
}
Now those elements should be centered and fit in few lines, but they all are in the same line and have ~150px instead of 250px each. I tried to add display: -ms-flexbox; but it doesn't work anyway. Normally they are all centered and take 3 lines.
It looks like you're specifying flex-wrap only on webkit. By default flex will fit all items one line. You need to specify flex-wrap: wrap on your container.
IE 11 requires a unit to be added to the third argument, the flex-basis property

I have the following HTML and css that works great in Firefox and Chrome to create a 3-column grid of boxes. But, in Safari it takes all the boxes and puts them into 1 row, squishing the width of each one so it will fit instead of allowing the float to push the boxes to a new line.
How can I get it to looks the same in Safari, any ideas?
(note: the html class '.box' is in a loop that dynamically generates boxes based on user input, so the number of boxes is variable)
HTML:
<div id="home-grid">
<div class="box">
Contents of box
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#home-grid {
margin-top: 20px;
float: left;
display: -webkit-box; /* OLD: Safari, iOS, Android browser, older WebKit browsers. */
display: -moz-box; /* OLD: Firefox (buggy) */
display: -ms-flexbox; /* MID: IE 10 */
display: -webkit-flex; /* NEW, Chrome 21–28, Safari 6.1+ */
display: flex; /* NEW: IE11, Chrome 29+, Opera 12.1+, Firefox 22+ */
flex-flow: row wrap;
justify-content: space-between;
width: 100%
}
#home-grid .box {
position: relative;
float: left;
width: 192px!important;
height: 180px;
border: 1px solid #F73987;
margin-bottom: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
}
I was able to get it to work in the latest version of Safari by adding these two lines:
-webkit-flex-flow: row wrap;
-webkit-justify-content: space-between;
see jsfiddle
Just to clarify, Safari still needs the -webkit prefix, according to caniuse.com
I have recently been developing a website using flexbox, and have been doing so on Chrome. The site looks perfect on Chrome (and Safari, according to users) however it has some serious issues when viewed on Firefox and IE. I have tried to look online for documentation on which prefixes to include in my CSS and how to make it appear normal on those browsers, but I truly cannot find a summation or tutorial anywhere. Here is a sample of my CSS code, containing flexboxs that do not display correctly on Firefox and IE -
.header {
padding: 12px;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
margin: 0px;
display: -webkit-box;
display: -moz-box;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-flow: row wrap;
justify-content: space-around;
height: 70px;
background-color: #000000;
}
.header-box {
padding-left: 15px;
padding-right: 15px;
margin: 0;
display: -webkit-box;
display: -moz-box;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-flow: row wrap;
align-content: flex-start;
align-items: flex-start;
height: 70px;
width: 1170px;
background-color: #000000;
}
This code is for a header bar along the top of the site. I thought by including the display: -moz-box; and such, that would allow it to be seen on Firefox, but the formatting is messed up in the sense that the box is not centered but instead along the left side of the screen, and the boxes within the header are all along the top of the parent container rather than on the bottom. Thank you for any insight you may have on this problem!
In only works on webkit browsers because you only use
-webkit-flex-flow: row wrap;
You should use the standard
flex-flow: row wrap;
Otherwise, the initial value row nowrap will be used instead.
