Hello!
I don’t know if I can specify correctly what I need.
I have a full width container, in which I want to place a 1200px wide container, in which I want to place a grid with two columns. When trying to achieve that the containers of the grid queeze themselves around the middle of the grid and don’t fill the 50% space I want them to fill.
I must have set some basic settings wrong…?Thank you,
Angie. -
Hi there,
Not sure I’m seeing the issue you described, it looks normal.
The 2 Grid containers are 50% each:

I think I sent you the wrong page. Look here: https://server.happytree.wien/drive/d/s/xSbHMkSLDNDZ5K0AFbmtw5BuKq4atBwk/Dg-BzxF8_myvk5uNS3Hj3cxIFtq3JlUe-t7EA-IOyKws
Thank you!

Actually I want to specify my question. When the containers of the grid are filled to an amount I don’t know with content the width is 50%, but when it contains only a short heading and a button, the width is not 50%. So I was wondering, which setting makes them have 50% width independent of the content? Does that make sense?
Thank you! -
Hi there,
This is one of the oddities of using Display Flex on a Container.
A Grid Block ( the parent wrapper ) has no actual Width defined so it will by default fill its parent containers width if the the parents Layout > Display = Block.
In this case the parent containers Layout > Display = Flex.
Flex will allow its children, to resize them selves and when that child has no width it will take the max/min content width of its children. Which is why columns with longer content expand the grid to fill the parent.To fix that, make sure the Grid Block is in a Container with a Layout of Display Block.

I see! I chose “Flex” because I wanted the child containers to be aligned in the center… Is there a way to do that when the parent container has “display block”?
Thank you! -
The layout you have is:
Container Block #1 – Full Width
—- Container Block #2 – contained with flex
—- —- Grid BlockContainer Block #2 is the problem. block, and I can’t see why you need Display Flex on that ?
As it is centered by its Auto Margins.What am I missing ?
