The following code correctly expands the max-width of a div:
<div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column;">
<div style="max-width: 500px;">
<div style="background-color: red; height: 20px;"></div>
</div>
</div>
Result:
However, when I set any alignment, align-items on the parent-most div, align-self on the max-width div, etc, the maxWidth will no longer be used, and the actual width will be set to 0.
For example:
<div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column;">
<div style="max-width: 500px; align-self: center">
<div style="background-color: red; height: 20px;"></div>
</div>
</div>
Produces a blank screen:
How do I both align the div (to the center for example), and keep its width intact? The goal is not to resort to using width, because that won't adjust to the parent width (which may be anything). Any solution that would keep the width, but won't insist on taking it even if there is no space, like with width, would work.
With align-self:center and flex-direction:column, you need to set the inner container width, which I did to be 100% and it shows now.
<div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column;background-color:grey">
<div style="max-width: 500px; align-self: center; width:100%;background:black;">
<div style="background-color: red; height: 20px;"></div>
</div>
</div>

I've got two images that need to be aligned on either side of the title, preferable on the edges of the page. I tried to use position relative but it's not responsive to other screen sizes.
Can someone show me an efficient way to do this, please?
Currently its like this, but i want the two images to be on either side of the title.
title{
width: 100%;
}
.web{
font-size: 120px;
}
.js{
height: 230px;
width: 240px;
}
.css{
height: 230px;
width: 440px;
}
<div class="intro py-3 bg-white text-center">
<img class="js" src="images/js-flat.png" alt="js">
<div class="title">
<h2 class="web text-primary display-3 my-4">Wev Dev Quiz</h2>
<img class="css" src="images/css2.png" alt="css">
</div>
</div>
never-mind, i fixed it with:
.intro {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
flex-direction: row;
align-items: center
}
You can use display:flex property in your parent div. I did some changes of your html and css codes below.
Here is the html part. I deleted the div that has a title class because all elements that are needed to be align should be seperated each other if you use display:flex
Here is the HTML and CSS codes:
.intro {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center
}
.web{
font-size: 120px;
}
.js{
width: 240px;
}
.css{
width: 240px;
}
<div class="intro bg-white ">
<img class="js" src="images/js-flat.png" alt="js">
<h2 class="web text-primary">Wev Dev Quiz</h2>
<img class="css" src="images/css2.png" alt="css">
</div>
When you use display:flex all items are aligned as horizontally. But we want to align them vertically. So we need to use flex-direction:column (its default is row). To align these items center, we also need align-items because this is used to align in cross axis which is perpendicular to the main axis.

I have something like this:
HTML:
<div id="container">
<img src="leftphoto.jpg" id="left">
<div id="right">Description</div>
</div>
CSS:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color:#252525;
}
#container{
position: relative;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
margin: 0 auto;
margin-top: 100px;
margin-bottom: 100px;
height: 40vw;
}
#left{
max-width: 75vw;
height:100%;
}
#right{
min-width: 300px;
height:100%;
color:white;
width:20vw;
background-color: red;
color: #ffffff;
font-size: 11px;
overflow: auto;
}
I want the right div to go down, under left div with the same width. How can I achieve that?
What I have:
When I resize window, it is smaller:
But I want the right div to go down, under the left div and also I would like to get the same width on both divs:
I was trying a lot of different things, but I couldn't achieve this. Do you have any advice?
You can use flex blox to achieve this. Simply place on the container of the divs. Once that is done you can change the divs placement by flex-direction row/column. Similarly, for placing the 2nd div above the first div once the size reduce, you can set media query for a specific screen where you can reverse the column and you done.
.container{
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
#media screen and (max-width:768px){
.container{
display: flex;
flex-direction: column-reverse
}
}
<div class="container">
<div>
<img src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/04/23/22/00/tree-736885__340.jpg">
</div>
<div class="content">
<p>Content</p>
</div>
</div>
Create a second container in your html and they will naturally align under eachother
<div class="container">
<div class="content-Container">
<img src="leftphoto.jpg" id="left" />
<div id="right">Description</div>
</div>
</div>
and then position them to the middle of the page by adding style to the parent container

As Armedin said, you do not have any content inside your div. Width and height 100% won't do anything.
I suggest you to put the image not as background, as it won't change the dimensions of the div. Use img tag and display: inline; for the card div.

Edit: If you do not want to use img you can put the img to invisible and then use the background image as the div would still have the dimensions of the img tag inside. Not a good solution, but it would work.
Learn flex or grid; both very useful for things like this.
Flex example:
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.card {
border: 1px black solid;
border-radius: 15px;
flex-grow: 1;
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px;
}
.container {
display: flex;
height: 100%;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="card">1</div>
<div class="card">2</div>
<div class="card">3</div>
<div class="card">4</div>
<div class="card">5</div>
</div>
I have been studying CSS flex recently and was trying out some simple tasks with it. One of these tasks was to make a timeline with alternating elements being above or below a mid-line.
I would like to be able to set an initial width and a fixed height, so that when the content exceeds the height of the div and overflows, the width will expand to accommodate the content, and hopefully there will be no overflow.
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/roVOXB
<div class="content">
<div class="box">
<div class="above">Content of the div</div>
<div class="below"></div>
</div>
<div class="box">
<div class="above"></div>
<div class="below">Content of the div</div>
</div>
<div class="box">
<div class="above">Content of the div</div>
<div class="below"></div>
</div>
<div class="box">
<div class="above"></div>
<div class="below">Content of the div</div>
</div>
<div class="box">
<div class="above">Content of the div</div>
<div class="below"></div>
</div>
</div>
.content {
display: flex;
}
.box {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.above, .below {
height: 350px;
display: flex;
min-width: 300px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
.above {
display: flex;
align-items: flex-end;
background: orange;
}
.below {
display: flex;
align-items: flex-start;
background: aqua;
}
I know it might be a simple solution and its staring me right in the face, but I have tried everything with max-widths, max-heights, overflows and wrapping the text but nothing can help me achieve the desired outcome so far.
I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!
You can change the elements dynamically using the following JS:
var allElements = document.querySelectorAll('.below, .above');
allElements.forEach((Ele) => {
if(Ele.scrollHeight > 350){
Ele.style.minWidth = (Ele.scrollHeight) + "px";
}
});
What is does it iterate through all the elements with classes below and above, then checks if it uses more height than the height: 350px, if it is > 350px, then it will adjust accordingly.
Just add the above JS code in your codepen JS editor, and you're good to go. Try adding more content to it and it will dynamically change the width w/o overflow.
If the number of columns is static, you can remove the min-width from .above, .below.
Add min-width: 2700px; to .content.
I have a bunch of boxes in a container. I don't know how many boxes fit onto a row, the bigger your screen is the more boxes there should be. However I want each row to be fully filled and the boxes resized (within 100px to 150px) to ensure that each row is filled.
http://jsfiddle.net/ssxu5moy/11/
.container2 {
width:100%;
height: 100px;
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
align-items: stretch;
align-content: stretch;
}
.box {
border: 1px solid purple;
background: blue;
align-self: stretch;
min-width: 100px;
max-width: 150px;
}
<div class="container2">
<div class="box box1">
</div>
<div class="box box2">
</div>
<div class="box box3">
</div>
<div class="box box3">
</div>
<div class="box box3">
</div>
<div class="box box3">
</div>
<div class="box box3">
</div>
<div class="box box3">
</div>
<div class="box box3">
</div>
</div>
I already did this in javascript and it works fine, but I thought about changing to flexbox to be simpler, but I'm having difficulty getting it working. Is this even possible in flexbox?
Yeah! You can do that. The max-width is making the boxes stop at 150px which appears not what you want as you want each box to fill the remaining space in the row after the wrap right?
Here's an updated fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/disinfor/ssxu5moy/12/
The only thing I changed in your CSS was the min-width and max-width to the flex property:
CSS:
.box {
border: 1px solid purple;
background: blue;
align-self: stretch;
flex:1 0 100px;
}
If I understood your question, this should be what you're looking for. Caveat: flex property needs browser prefix.
EDIT: here's some light reading on the flex property shorthand:
https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/f/flex/
In the event the link is gone:
This is the shorthand for flex-grow, flex-shrink and flex-basis (respectively).
