My question is very simple, I want to know why the .header
element overflows its grid track when it reaches the viewport width of 1500 pixels.
Code:
* { box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0; margin: 0; } body { background: #6e28d9; color: white; } .container { display: grid; grid-template-areas: 'header'; grid-template-columns: 1fr; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2); } .header { display: flex; justify-content: space-between; grid-area: header; width: 1500px; max-width: 90%; margin: 0 auto; }
<body> <div class="container"> <div class="header"> <div class="header-start">header start</div> <div class="header-end">header end</div> </div> </div> </body>
My idea is to make the width of the .header
element 1500 pixels. When space is insufficient, .header
should occupy 90% of its grid track.
I successfully achieved this effect by setting width: min(1500px, 90%)
and deleting max-width
in the .header
element, But I don't know exactly what happened. I'm guessing the grid track calculates its width based on the width of its content. At the moment I'm not sure what the exact meaning of 1fr
is.
Everyone says Grid is great, but I always run into trouble when I leave the warmth of Flexbox.
Using
90vw
instead of90%
seems to work for this
