My current issue involves CSS flexbox. Yesterday, my code was working perfectly fine, but today it suddenly stopped functioning as expected when I tested it. The problem seems to be related to flexbox.
Here is the desired outcome that I am trying to achieve:
- The ability to position the content using
justify-content. Unfortunately, this feature is failing. - The content should expand to fill all available space with
flex-grow: 1. However, this is also not working correctly. - The footer needs to be positioned at the bottom, as the content should push it down by taking up all available space through
flex-grow: 1. This requirement is not being met.
It appears that the entire flexbox functionality is no longer working properly for me.

I suspect that the issue lies in the fact that flexbox is not responding correctly to even a simple declaration like:
justify-content: flex-start;
No changes occur when attempting other values such as center, flex-end, etc.
Interestingly, flexbox was cooperating as expected yesterday, allowing me to position elements using justify-content, yet today it refuses to work seamlessly.
Can anyone provide insights into what might be causing this misbehavior? Why are properties like justify-content: flex-end or justify-content: center not aligning the content correctly?
If I can resolve the issue with justify-content, I believe that flex-grow will function properly as well.
Is there any explanation as to why things are not behaving as intended?
I have managed to make flex work correctly using this online playground, confirming that my code should indeed be functional. The code snippet above mirrors exactly what I have implemented in the playground:
.ikigai {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: flex-start;
}
.header, .footer {
height: 80px;
margin: 10px;
border: 1px dashed lightgray;
}
.content {
margin: 10px;
border: 1px dashed lightgray;
flex-grow: 1;
}<div class="ikigai">
<div class="header">this is a header</div>
<div class="content">content</div>
<div class="footer">footer 12</div>
</div>
