Grid

:has() makes quantities queries both easier and more powerful. We can alter how a grid is laid out and where the children go. Or, we can just blast it into a carousel.

There are several different ways to do equal width columns. But some are, uh, more equal than others.

You might as well really understand height and Josh Comeau has your back here. It’s really quite different than width and perhaps less intuitive. Plus when grid and flexbox get involved, things change.

Rachel Andrew notes an excellent new feature of CSS that Chrome is dropping first: reading-flow and reading-order. There are CSS features that can move elements to places that make what the tabbing order (thus “reading order”) super different than what the visual order of the elements is.

A left-and-right layout is blissfully easy with CSS grid. Something like grid-auto-rows: 1fr; will do it — just put two elements as the children. This is how I like to roll though, making two equal columns that can shrink properly: But Ryan Mulligan found a very interesting way to make it complicated in The Fifty-Fifty […]
