I have a bit of HTML:
<div class="flex">
<div class="red">
<div class="example">
<div class="wide">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="orange"></div>
<div class="yellow"></div>
<div class="green"></div>
<div class="blue"></div>
<div class="indigo"></div>
</div>
<div class="flex">
<div class="red"></div>
<div class="orange"></div>
<div class="yellow"></div>
<div class="green"></div>
<div class="blue"></div>
<div class="indigo"></div>
</div>
And my CSS:
.flex {
display: -webkit-box;
display: flex;
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
}
.flex > div {
flex-grow: 1;
flex-shrink: 1;
flex-basis: auto;
-webkit-flex-grow: 1;
-webkit-flex-shrink: 1;
margin: 15px;
}
.example {
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.example .wide {
width: 400px;
}
Now, the problem here is, if I have a div
inside an element that is a flexbox and that div
has overflow: hidden;
I would expect the parent flexbox to just take up the default amount of space (i.e. the same as the other elements, but it doesn't.
It is like it ignores the overflow
and just expands the div
anyway.
I have made a CodePen so you can see the issue.
I would like all the coloured div
s to be the same width.
Can anyone help?
