float: left; } .row::after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } .col.span2 { width: calc((6.20%*2) + 2.093333%); } A float based “grid” We have to give the items a width. By stacking these carefully sized items up we get the appearance of a grid. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/brjymK
.col.span2 { grid-column: auto / span 2; } A Grid … grid No row wrappers. No sizing information on the items, just an instruction on how many columns to span. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/VzBOJW
minmax(200px, auto); grid-gap: 1px; } minmax() Row tracks will be 200 pixels tall unless there is more content, in which case they will grow as the max is auto. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/Mvqvbm
img { grid-row: 1 / -1; grid-column: 1; object-fit: cover; height: 100%; width: 100%; } figure figcaption { grid-row: 2; grid-column: 1; padding: 20px; } Nested grids The figure is a grid item that also becomes a grid container, so we can make use of the ability to layer items on the grid. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/xLePZY
} min-content Roughly, the inline size that would fit around its contents if all soft wrap opportunities within the box were taken. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/xLejpK
} max-content Usually the narrowest inline size it could take while fitting around its contents if none of the soft wrap opportunities within the box were taken. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/KvYRZB
20px; } fit-content If the available space in a given axis is finite, equal to min(max-content size, max(min-content size,stretch-fit size)). Otherwise, equal to the max-content size in that axis. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/NvLvRG
grid; grid-gap: 10px; grid-template-columns: repeat(3, auto); width: 500px; } .grid > div { // I’m now a grid item, and act as if I am not floated! } Float & clear properties Have no effect on a grid item. You can float an item for old browsers then try it into a grid item for new ones. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/NvmMOM
grid; grid-gap: 10px; grid-template-columns: repeat(3, auto); width: 500px; } .grid > div { // I’m now a grid item, inline-block behaviour such as preserving white space is gone. } Display: inline-block An inline-block item that becomes a grid item loses any attributes that would apply when it was inline-block. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/LjvmXG
{ border-spacing: 10px; } .grid { display: grid; grid-gap: 10px; grid-template-columns: repeat(3, auto); width: 500px; } Display: table Anonymous element creation does not happen if an item with display: table-cell or another table-* property becomes a grid item. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/OjGZaO
{ display: grid; grid-gap: 10px; grid-template-columns: repeat(3, auto); width: 500px; } vertical-align Can be used as a fallback for the Box Alignment properties in inline-block or table layout and stops applying when the item becomes a grid item. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/NvmMEM
grid; grid-gap: 10px; grid-template-columns: repeat(3, auto); } Multiple-column layout Can be used as a fallback for some grid layouts, and the column-* properties cease to apply once the container becomes a grid container. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/MvRGzL
border: 1px dotted #694486; } .grid > div { flex: 1; } .grid { display: grid; grid-gap: 10px; grid-template-columns: repeat(3, auto); } Flex Layout Flexbox can also be used as a fallback, making things easier as they both use the Box Alignment properties. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/MvRGzx
{ display: grid; grid-gap: 10px; grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr); width: 500px; } A problem! The width set to make the floated item the right size to fit into our layout will be interpreted on the grid item as a percentage of the grid track.
(display: grid) { .grid > div { width: auto; } } .grid { display: grid; grid-gap: 10px; grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr); width: 500px; } Feature Queries Test for support of a property and value. Inside the Feature Query add code only for browsers that claim support. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/ayxGPz
flex: 1; } Make the card a flex item Allow the inner to grow, it pushes the footer down to the bottom of the cards https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/XgdydE
/ span 4; display: subgrid; } display: subgrid The card is a direct child of the grid so needs to span four rows of the grid to make room for the four rows in the subgridded internals. display: subgrid means the card now uses the tracks of the parent grid. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/ZyWmVM
1fr)); grid-auto-rows: minmax(100px, auto); grid-auto-flow: dense; } Set auto-flow to dense Grid will backfill gaps taking items out of document order visually. https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/WEWqWR
