Despite my Googling, I've found few examples on how to implement multiple line flexboxes. None of the code I've gotten from examples has worked. I have three elements inside a flexbox and I want the first to be on top and the second and third to be on the bottom row.
<div class="flexbox">
<div id="element1">element 1</div>
<div id="element2">element 2</div>
<div id="element3">element 3</div>
</div>
I've tried using these properties:
.flexbox {
width: 300px;
display: box;
display: -webkit-box;
display: -moz-box;
box-lines: multiple;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
#element1 {
width: 100%;
}
and giving it a set width but it still won't wrap, even if the first element has a width of 100%. Am I missing certain vendor prefixes or is my syntax wrong?
The flex box spec has changed in the last few months and you are using the old syntax. The new spec I believe is only currently implemented only in Chrome Canary and to some extent in latest chrome. (It's a little buggy) box-lines multiple is gone so to achieve this vertical layout there are a few ways. Using -webkit-flex-direction:column; so
<div id="flexbox">
<div class="box">DIV 1</div>
<div class="box">DIV 2</div>
<div class="box">DIV 3</div>
</div>
and css :
#flexbox {
display: -webkit-flex;
-webkit-flex-direction: column;
width: 500px;
height: auto;
min-height: 200px;
}
#flexbox .box {
-webkit-flex: 1;
}
Using wrapping:
-webkit-flex-wrap: wrap;
and setting your direction to:
-webkit-flex-direction: row;
So
<div id="flexbox">
<div class="box">DIV 1</div>
<div class="box">DIV 2</div>
<div class="box">DIV 3</div>
<div class="box">DIV 4</div>
<div class="box bigger">DIV 5</div>
<div class="box">DIV 6</div>
</div>
#flexbox {
display: -webkit-flex;
-webkit-flex-direction: row;
-webkit-flex-wrap: wrap;
width: 500px;
height: auto;
min-height: 200px;
}
#flexbox .box {
-webkit-flex: 130px 1;
}
#flexbox .box.bigger {
-webkit-flex: 330px 1;
}
There's a whole bunch of examples on the spec page linked above.
Use the flex-direction
attribute.
.container { flex-direction: row | row-reverse | column | column-reverse; }
