Limit the Width of a Column to the Width of a Particular Grid Item

How can I set the width and max-width of a CSS Grid Column?

One way to do this might be declare:

.container {grid-template-columns: 250px 480px auto;}

as your standard rule.

Then, after considering the narrowest width you would like to apply to your third column, you can apply a @media query.

Let's say you want to ensure your third column is no narrower than 100px.

250px + 480px + 100px = 830px

So you need to write a @media query for 830px:

@media only screen and (max-width: 830px) {

    .container {grid-template-columns: 17.5% 31.25% auto;}
}

Working Example:

body {

  margin: 0;

  padding: 0;

}

.container {

    display: grid;

    grid-template-columns: 250px 480px auto;

    grid-template-rows: 100vh;

    grid-gap: 0;

}

.menu {

    padding-top: 32px;

    background: linear-gradient(135deg, #837DB5 0%, #364176 100%);

}

.list-view {

    background-color: #F5F5FC;

}

@media only screen and (max-width: 830px) {

    

    .container {grid-template-columns: 17.5% 31.25% auto;}

}

<div class="container">

  <div class="menu"></div>

  <div class="list-view"></div>

  <div class="details"></div>

</div>

Limit the width of a column to the width of a particular grid item

Instead of setting the column width to 1fr, use min-content.

With min-content, the column will take all line break (text wrapping) opportunities.

It basically wraps all text until the column reaches the width of the longest word.

.grid-container {

  display: grid;

  grid-template-columns: min-content; /* formerly 1fr */

}

<div class="grid-container">

  <div class="A">

    DIV A contains the TITLE

  </div>

  <div class="B">

    DIV B has much more text but I want its text to wrap to the width of div.A (no cut of words, just wrapping)

  </div>

</div>

How to set the maximum width of a column in CSS Grid Layout?

"The fit-content function accepts one param, the maximum value. A grid column/row with this property set will still take up as little space as necessary, according to its content, but no more than the maximum value."

See this article: Becoming a CSS Grid Ninja!

You can solve your case while still making use of percentage-based maximums:

div {

  outline: 1px dotted gray;

}

.container {

  width: 300px;

  height: 300px;

  display: grid;

  grid-template-columns: 1fr fit-content(20%);

}

.container div {

  overflow: hidden; /* this needs to be set so that width respects fit-content */

}

<div class="container">

  <div>

    some content

  </div>

  <div>

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec cursus eu leo ac ultrices. Vivamus ornare, orci sed pretium sollicitudin

  </div>

</div>

<div class="container">

  <div>

    some content

  </div>

  <div></div>

</div>

Css grid: how to make cell adjust in width?

I actually figured out how to achieve what I was looking for. We can set how many columns an item should span for. So for example if we have an iframe in a grid, perhaps we want it to span for 2 columns oppose to everything else spanning one column. To achieve that, we can create a class like so and then apply this class for iframe element:

.iframe-in-grid {
  grid-column: span 2;
}

If you want to make element bigger in terms of height, span it through rows like so:

grid-row: span 2;

Define a css grid that has column width is max of screen width

You could use grid-auto-column set at the viewport width.

Each column will then take on that width and there will be as many columns as there are images (elements in the carousel).

Here's a simple demo:

.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-auto-columns: 100vw;
  grid-auto-flow: column;
}
.container div {
  height: 50vh;
}

<div class="container">
  <div style="background: red;">1</div>
  <div style="background: green;">2</div>
  <div style="background: blue;">3</div>
</div>

Limit content width in css grid column

Try to add

overflow: auto

Like this:

.right {
  max-width: 100%;
  overflow: auto
}

It will fix your trouble!
