Why do you have these “fold out” sections? It makes it a nuisance to ctrl+F to find somthing in the page.

I keep returning to this page, love your explanations. So much of CSS sites these days are copied and pasted.

i like flex because it can wrap responsively while maintaining a fixed gap between each item. That only works WITHOUT your margin: auto style. I believe grid layout gives the adaptive gap-width that you prefer by default, again WITHOUT your margin: auto style.

This is the best CSS guide I have ever seen. Clear, concise, and all around perfect. It has been a game changer for styling web pages.

I would suggest to mention that in case of flex-direction: column, justify-content becomes the vertical aligner and align-content the horizontal.

This is a life-saver! Everything else I’ve read either doesn’t work or is more complicated than I’m willing to make it. Thanks so much.

Is there a property for making all items the same width?

By: Abelardo

Hi there!

To understand how these properties work, I suggest you to show a practical example.

For example, only writing this:

div style=”width:200px; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap;”>,

doesn’t help me to understand the “flex-wrap: wrap” mechanism because I wrote this but I don’t see the effect after setting this property.

It’s good to show these properties but it would be better if you add practical examples.

Best regards.

In reply to ANUPAM KHOSLA.

Trying to get to the bottom of this. This part you wrote seems true: “flex-start also respects writing-mode direction.”

What is says right now:
– flex-start: items are packed toward the start of the flex-direction.
– start: items are packed toward the start of the writing-mode direction.

What MDN says:
– flex-start: The cross-start margin edges of the flex items are flushed with the cross-start edge of the line.
– start: The items are packed flush to each other toward the start edge of the alignment container in the appropriate axis.

It seems like there is some kind of difference, but I don’t understand what it is.
