The element within the flexbox does not extend across the entire width, despite being designated as 100% full width

I'm currently attempting to center certain elements to ensure they are visually aligned.

The upper div seems to have some odd space on the right, causing all the content within that div to be shifted and not accurately centered. On the other hand, the lower div (which contains colored circles) is perfectly centered.

Interestingly:
It's neither padding nor margin causing this issue.

Upon inspecting with Chrome tools, I noticed a purple-lined area indicating that the content within the top div doesn't occupy all available space:

Despite trying various styles in the inspector, I'm unable to remove that purple area.

Is there a way to ensure the content in the div uses all the available space?

As a temporary solution, I could add 15px of margin to the circles, but the alignment may still be off on mobile devices, so I'm looking for a proper fix.

What is the source of that purple-lined area?

Here is the HTML code:

Answer №1

The margin applies to the child of the specific element you are examining. By using Bootstrap's .row with negative gutter margins, the content is shifted to the left and creates space on the right while maintaining 100% width.

To eliminate this margin, simply add the m-0 class to the targeted div.
