To elaborate on the issue in depth, I need to establish a few assumptions:
- I possess a list of items with an unknown length (can range from 1 to 50 or more).
- My objective is to exhibit these items in a grid format, where the number of items per row varies based on the user's display resolution.
- Each item has a fixed width of 250px.
- The spacing between items should adapt either according to the display resolution or by shrinking the container's width.
- I explicitly do not wish to utilize JavaScript for this task.
A prime example showcasing exactly what I aim to achieve can be observed on FoodGawker. Even when transitioning between two different resolution monitors, the layout adjusts seamlessly by accommodating additional items while retaining symmetry and central alignment without relying on JavaScript.
Although I am certain it can be accomplished, the precise method remains elusive to me.
Despite experimenting with various properties such as float: and display:, my attempts have failed to yield the desired outcome.
The code snippet provided below resembles my current progress - its effectiveness is evident with just two inner divs; however, upon incorporating multiple divs, the alignment becomes inconsistent. Any insights on refining this structure would be greatly appreciated.
.center_wrapper {
background: grey;
padding: 10px;
text-align: left;
overflow: hidden;
display:inline-block;
}
.cards_wrapper {
background: red;
overflow: hidden;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: center;
width: 90%;
}
.card {
background: blue;
width: 250px;
height: 250px;
margin: auto 20px;
display:inline;
}
