As in Android there is an option called match-parent that fits the component's width to its parent's width.
In javaFX ,
fit to parent option is there that fits the component's width and height both to parent's width and height.
What is the replacement for match parent in JavaFX that works for width and height individually and works dynamically means if we change width of parent then component's width should be changed accrodingly.
Thanks in advance.

I have a collapsible panel that was designed in a way that the children (green) are wider than their parent (red). Because there children have borders and there are icons added via ::before and ::after, when the whole panel collapses it borders on the children stay large until the animation on the parent is completed.
I can avoid these annoying lines from staying on the screen if I change the parent's overflow to hidden, unfortunately doing this clips the styling on the children and we don't get to see the elements the way they were intended.
Is there a way to keep the parent with overflow hidden and allow the children to have a width that exceeds the width of the parent? any tricks?
It looks like you are collapsing it horizontally and the problem is that the elements keep adjusting to the new width until the width stops transitioning to the new value.
If that is correct, you might need to change from using width to collapse the panel to transform: scaleX(0);. It should take care of child elements re-rendering and elements being visible after the width is zero.
If I have a div element with CSS height set to auto, and all its content height was set to percentage values, then where does the contents of that div based their reference for the height?
Ordinarily, the contents set their height as if they were set to "auto" rather than percentage values.
See under "<percentage>" at http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#the-height-property for the full details.
i think inherited css attribute will be based on their direct parent container.
just as a position:absolute element's top,bottom,left,right value will be based on its' direct parent container , instead of root container.
In CSS, if I set the width attribute to 100%, like so:
width: 100%;
If the width of the document is larger than the width of the window (horizontal scrolling), the width of the element is only the width of the window. If I scroll to the right, it gets cut off immediately.
How can I use CSS to set the width of the element to have a min-width of the document width so it doesn't get cut off when scrolling?
Percentage based width is dependent on the width of the parent element. So if you set width 50%, it will be 50% of the parent container. Therefore you need to ensure that all the parent elements are properly sized.
There may be a solution using absolutely positioned elements. However this depends on the position attributes of the parents as well.
There is no construct to get the "document width" on a page (in pure css). You are constrained by parent elements in nearly any case.
However a solution may be achieved with Javascript.
I would suggest you investigate the size of the chain of parent elements with Firebug or another browser debugger.
I have a parent element with some child elements. The child elements have a min-width set, but the parent does not. When the browser window is smaller than the min-width, the child elements are the correct width, but the parent keeps getting smaller, causing the children to overflow. Is it possible to force the parent to be at least as wide as the children? (without using javascript)

(drag divider most of the way to the right and then scroll right in the result window)
Set the min-width on the parent and on the child inherit ... but the parent of the td in your script is not the div but the tr ... the parent of the tr is the table ... and the parent of the table is the div.

Your issue in this situation is that you're using a relative width for the parent and a fixed min width for the children. The solution you're trying to handle is not possible in straight CSS. You should instead use relative widths for all elements or establish a fixed min width for the parent.
I have a BorderContainer having top:30, bottom:5, left:2, right:2 so that it resizes with the applicaiton.
I have a custom component within it that needs to resize when the container resizes.
The problem is that getting the width and height of the container directly is not working. It seems to have a minimum width and height of 500.
Instead I have to get the width/height of its parent, which is in fact a BorderContainerSkin, then subtract the borderWeight * 2.
Is there a function that returns this?
So are you trying to manage component size inside component? It's not the Flex way. The component's parent should set its children sizes during layout. Try to set percentHeight and percentWidth (or width/height="100%") in your component.
