The element in the image is styled using absolute positioning but when I resize the screen I have to slightly adjust the positioning of both the ‘For Sale’ element and the ‘$400,000’ element so I am curious as to if there is a way to achieve the same layout using flexbox?
Here is my attempt (https://codepen.io/ob98/pen/eYVPJLJ)
<div class = 'container'>
<p class='item1'>Top Left</p>
<p class='item2'>Bottom Right</p>
</div>
css:
.container{
display: flex;
background: red;
width: 500px;
height: 200px;
color: white;
}
.item1{
align-self: flex-start;
}
.item2{
align-self: flex-end;
justify-self: flex-end; /* If align-self moved this to the bottom of the container vertically, I am thinking that this should move it to the end/right side of the container horizontally, but that is not working */
}
Just went to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/justify-self and saw that "In flexbox layouts, this property is ignored (more about alignment in Flexbox)", so I guess that explains why that is not working but I don’t really understand why this property is being ignored… Anyway, is there a way to achieve this layout using flexbox or do I have to stick to absolute positioning? Thanks for any input.
>Solution :
Add to .container the declaration justify-content: space-between, to make both your p go to the container edges, and that’s done!
.container {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
background: red;
width: 500px;
height: 200px;
color: white;
}
.item1 {
align-self: flex-start;
}
.item2 {
align-self: flex-end;
justify-self: flex-end;
}
<div class = 'container'>
<p class='item1'>Top Left</p>
<p class='item2'>Bottom Right</p>
</div>
