Which method is right when setting the width and height properties of a grid item inside the container?
Using grid-template-rows and grid-template-columns or
Applying the width and height properties of each grid items
Secondly, I have been struggling with placing my grid contents **[direct children of my grid container] ** at the center of the body of my page. If apply place-items: center on my container to center it horizontally and vertically, it does not work. Please I need you advise.
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
#container {
display: grid;
place-items: center;
}
.grid-item {
background-color: navy;
color: white;
/*margin: 3px;*/
/*width: 100px;*/
/*height: 100px;*/
}

How can I get all elements to fit in a container element that is fixed to the size of the window?
I have a container element that is fixed position and flexbox, it does not stay within window. The menu is 50px and I want the main element to fill the remainder of the window height.
I have a container my-app and inside it, 2 vertically stacked elements (flex-direction = column). It works as expected in Chrome but not Edge or Firefox.
my-app {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
app-menu {
border-bottom: 2px solid black;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
background: lightcoral;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
app-my-view {
display: flex;
flex: 1;
width: 100%;
background: lightgreen;
}

I've got it working by using a fixed position menu sticking to the top and using padding to offset menu height in the main content area. However I thought it would be better to use approach with 2 stacked elements without using fixed menu .
See here: https://stackblitz.com/edit/2-column-scroll-v1
I have a design with 3 (css grid) columns. The second column has nested grid content that needs to vertically scroll, while the other two columns stay their respective height. I gave the second nested column an overflow, but I also need to give it a top and bottom padding or margin. My solution works without the top/bottom padding, but when I add it, it forces a scroll of the general screen, and thus the other columns.
Here is the Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/n2fole00/cger28v4/
Here is the part of the code that uses the scroll and padding.
.section-column-grid-container {
display: grid;
align-content: start;
grid-template-columns: auto auto;
grid-template-rows: auto;
grid-gap: 35px;
background-color: grey;
height: 100vh;
padding: 35px;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
.section-column-grid-container > div {
background-color: pink;
text-align: center;
padding: 0;
font-size: 18px;
height:100px;
}
How can I fix this? Thanks.
I have made some changes to your code and here is the updated fiddle:

Main change I made is:
.main-grid-container {
overflow: hidden;
}
I'm trying to make a chat layout. So i have 3 divs, activeUSer - top, messages middle (has to fill the space between 1 and 3), actions - bottom
Now, I've put flex-direction row. and it works fine. I needed the bottom div to grow if the input grows (if you have 2 or more lines of writing)
It worked ok untill I added display:flex to the Actions div (bottom). I needed another flex layout for input and buttons. Now it does not care for the padding i've set on the last div
Here is my codepen https://codepen.io/capraruioan/pen/XKWxrV
#content {
height: 300px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.activeUser {
height: 66px;
background-color: yellow;
}
.Messages {
flex: 1 1 100%;
}
.Actions {
flex-grow: 1;
display: flex;
padding-top: 2px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
}
.aa { //the inputbox
border: 1px solid black;
min-height: 10px
}
fixed it by letting display default on the 3rd div and placing a div with display flex inside
I have the following arrangement via flexbox with flex-wrap and elements able to stretch using flex-grow:
Each item has a margin on all sides. This is to separate the items from each other, but the side effect is the whole block has margins which I'd like to collapse. It could be done with rules like nth-child(-n+3) { margin-top: 0; } but because the container size could vary, there could be any number of items per row and any number of rows. So I'm wondering if flex-box has any way to collapse the outer margins in a setup like this, while retaining the margins between items.
JSBin
The HTML is simply 6 items inside a container.
The CSS (Sass) is as follows:
.container
display: flex
flex-wrap: wrap
background: #eef
align-items: stretch
.item
flex-grow: 1
margin: 1em
border: 1px solid black
padding: 1em
min-width: 6em
It's a bit of a hack, but you can add a negative margin on the flex container to cancel out the items' margins along the edges, and then move its "background" styling to a parent wrapper-element.
Updated JSBin
Updated CSS (SASS):
.wrapper
background: #eef
border: 1px solid darkgray
.container
display: flex
flex-wrap: wrap
margin: -1em
.item
flex-grow: 1
margin: 1em
border: 1px solid black
padding: 1em
min-width: 6em
Another hack is to split the margin responsibilities between container and item, each caring about half (say $margin is 1em):
• container cares about its bottom margin and half left + half-right of items:
.container {
width: 100%;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
flex-wrap: wrap; // Go to next line if not enough space
padding-top: 0; // Let items handle top
padding-left: $margin/2; // Handle half of left
padding-bottom: $margin; // Handle bottom
padding-right: $margin/2; // Handle half of right
}
• items care about top and half left + half right:
.item {
flex-grow: 1; // Use available space
margin-left: $margin/2; // Handle other half of left
margin-right: $margin/2; // Handle other half of right
margin-top: $margin; // Handle top
}
Regarding items size, you can set a width if you want items to look the same.
.item.fixed {
width: 15em;
}

I'm working on a product catalog page, and the group of images needs to be centered but I have yet to find a way to do so, since they're all floated in a div that's a 100% in width.
I'm looking for a way to center those images horizontally without losing the flexibility of their floating properties.
Here's a link to the catalog on the website: http://internetvolk.de/katalog/
try using display: inline-block; istead of floating and add text-align: center to their parent container)
Augment with the following rules:
#katalog {
text-align: center;
}
and
.imageLink {
/** float: left; <-- REMOVE! */
display: inline-block;
}
if you give #katalog a width - calculate this from the number of images and their margins. e.g.
#katalog{
width: 960px; /*just an example*/
margin: 0 auto;
}
#katalog {
margin: 10px auto 0;
overflow-y: hidden;
max-width: 940px;
min-width: 810px;
}
Use max-height and min-height to keep flexibility, I'm defining a max-width to keep it centered in all screens by adding margin: 0 auto;
