I am currently experiencing an issue where a table within a flexbox layout is extending beyond the parent flexbox, causing the page to become wider than the browser window. Here is a representation of the problem I am facing:
#flex {
display:flex;
display:-webkit-flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
#one {
background-color: black;
width: 300px;
flex-shrink: 0;
-webkit-flex-shrink: 0;
}
#two {
background-color:red;
}
<div id="flex">
<div id="one">one
</div>
<div>
<table>
<tr>
<td>First Row</td>
<td>Second Row</td>
<td>Third Row</td>
<td>Fourth Row</td>
<td>Fifth Row</td>
<td>Sixth Row</td>
<td>Seventh Row</td>
<td>Eighth Row</td>
<td>Ninth Row</td>
<td>Tenth Row</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>DataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataDataData</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>Data</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
As you can see, while .flex
fits within the screen width, .two
extends far beyond.
I am utilizing datatables inside the second div, resulting in a dynamically-sized table that exceeds its container despite my attempts to limit it. I require assistance in properly constraining the second div of the flexbox so that the table can adjust its size accordingly (it contains responsive elements which are not being utilized due to the excessive width).
Edit: It appears that the table is spanning the entire width of the page, then overflowing beyond the right margin due to the element on the left.
Thank you for your guidance.
