Pointless but required details:
I could build the software myself as its open source but its server software so i don,t want to
This relates to a self made CSS theme, tho there might be a alternate solution i don't want it
I am open to other solutions that acomplish the same thing and is pure css and is in the same ish scope, unlikely tho they may be.
Actual problem:
create a grid filled with columns of element width spanning 150% of screen or document width
Important info:
I DO NOT have access to the JS or HTML
Element size is determined by code that i don't have access to
Each element is the same size WITCH I DO NOT HAVE see above
I DO want it to overflow to the right of the page that's kinda the point
.homePage .itemsContainer {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(calc(100vw/max-content),1fr); /* this is the relevant line */
grid-auto-rows: auto;
}
Attempted:
flex: 1 dimensional it simply wont do
grid: auto minmax calc min-content max-content fill-content fit-content fr vw % none of witch worked
obviously tried several sources for a solution but no dice.
calc could in theory work, unfortunately it wont work with min/max-content
new info:
parent is a emby-scroller
itemContainer is a emby-itemContainer
The program in question is jellyfin
when set to grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill,auto); a single column is created covering the entire thing. repeat(auto-fill,min-width);
same result, probly since min-width:150%; to ensure container size
current closest to solution:
.homePage .emby-scroller {
margin-right: 0;
}
.homePage .itemsContainer {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill,20em);
grid-auto-rows: auto;
min-width:150%;
}
issues:
item container always 150% even with no items
different containers with different objects are all the same size, in this case 20em aka 20*font is used witch means font is same size and unrelated to object.
.homePage .itemsContainer {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat( auto-fit, minmax(idealsizehere, 1fr) );
grid-auto-rows: auto;
}
Just set the width to 150% then put whatever you want in there.
div {
height: 200px;
width: 150%;
outline: 2px dashed blue;
}
<div>
</div>

TL;DR: Is there anything like table-layout: fixed for CSS grids?
I tried to create a year-view calendar with a big 4x3 grid for the months and therein nested 7x6 grids for the days.
The calendar should fill the page, so the year grid container gets a width and height of 100% each.
.year-grid {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: grid;
grid-template: repeat(3, 1fr) / repeat(4, 1fr);
}
.month-grid {
display: grid;
grid-template: repeat(6, 1fr) / repeat(7, 1fr);
}
Here's a working example: https://codepen.io/loilo/full/ryXLpO/
For simplicity, every month in that pen there has 31 days and starts on a Monday.
I also chose a ridiculously small font size to demonstrate the problem:
Grid items (= day cells) are pretty condensed as there are several hundreds of them on the page. And as soon as the day number labels become too large (feel free to play around with the font size in the pen using the buttons on the upper left) the grid will just grow in size and exceed the page's body size.
Is there any way to prevent this behaviour?
I initially declared my year grid to be 100% in width and height so that's probably the point to start at, but I couldn't find any grid-related CSS properties that would've fitted that need.
Disclaimer: I'm aware that there are pretty easy ways to style that calendar just without using CSS Grid Layout. However, this question is more about the general knowledge on the topic than solving the concrete example.
By default, a grid item cannot be smaller than the size of its content.
Grid items have an initial size of min-width: auto and min-height: auto.
You can override this behavior by setting grid items to min-width: 0, min-height: 0 or overflow with any value other than visible.
From the spec:
6.6. Automatic Minimum Size of Grid
Items
To provide a more reasonable default minimum size for grid items, this
specification defines that the auto value of min-width / min-height also applies an automatic minimum size in the specified axis to grid items whose overflow is visible. (The effect is analogous to the automatic minimum size imposed on flex items.)
Here's a more detailed explanation covering flex items, but it applies to grid items, as well:
Why don't flex items shrink past content size?
This post also covers potential problems with nested containers and known rendering differences among major browsers.
To fix your layout, make these adjustments to your code:
.month-grid {
display: grid;
grid-template: repeat(6, 1fr) / repeat(7, 1fr);
background: #fff;
grid-gap: 2px;
min-height: 0; /* NEW */
min-width: 0; /* NEW; needed for Firefox */
}
.day-item {
padding: 10px;
background: #DFE7E7;
overflow: hidden; /* NEW */
min-width: 0; /* NEW; needed for Firefox */
}

1fr vs minmax(0, 1fr)
The solution above operates at the grid item level. For a container level solution, see this post:
Who does minmax(0, 1fr) work for long elements while 1fr doesn't?
The previous answer is pretty good, but I also wanted to mention that there is a fixed layout equivalent for grids, you just need to write minmax(0, 1fr) instead of 1fr as your track size.
The existing answers solve most cases. However, I ran into a case where I needed the content of the grid-cell to be overflow: visible. I solved it by absolutely positioning within a wrapper (not ideal, but the best I know), like this:
.month-grid {
display: grid;
grid-template: repeat(6, 1fr) / repeat(7, 1fr);
background: #fff;
grid-gap: 2px;
}
.day-item-wrapper {
position: relative;
}
.day-item {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
padding: 10px;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
}
