Menu
Trying to achieve a flexbox layout using angular material where the navigation and footer have a fixed height, the content will be scrollable (using md-content) and the footer should appear after the scrollable content. My solution works fine in chrome and firefox, but not in safari. In safari, the Footer appears at the bottom of the viewport, overlapping the scrollable content. Any way to achieve the same effect in all browsers?

The problem is that on safari the navbars aren't fluid and don't stretch to match the container width. HI, The problem is caused by the silly html5 rule that allows you to wrap anchors around block elements. It breaks often unless you set the anchor to display:block.
Status in browsers Browser support for flexbox is excellent, and the majority of browsers do not need a prefix at this point. Safari was the last of the major browsers to remove prefixes, with the release of Safari 9 in 2015.
If you are using flexbox and want the content to wrap, you must specify flex-wrap: wrap . By default flex items don't wrap. To have the images be three-across, you should specify flex-basis: 33.33333% .
These are the following reasons to use flexbox over floats.Flexbox is responsive and mobile-friendly. Flex container's margins do not collapse with the margins of its content. We can easily change the order of elements on our webpage without even making changes in HTML.
In safari the layout is broken even more, sidebar on home page no longer floats right and now floats left, footer row of columns now stack 2 columns across instead of 4 columns in a single row. Hi, I haven’t forgotten about this but it will be Friday before I can look in detail as I am out today
To make it work on Safari, we must set the appearance property to its "none" value. Also, use -WebKit- and -Moz- vendor prefixes. Let’s see an example, where we use this trick to make the border-radius property work on Safari without any problem. The background-color property may also have the cause problem on Safari. Let’s see one more example.
.page-id-57 .row { display: -webkit-flex; /* Safari */ -webkit-flex-wrap: wrap; /* Safari 6.1+ */ display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; } It’s the before and after pseudo elements that are adding to the width in Safari and making the 50% item only big enough for one item per row.
That said, you really shouldn’t be using flexbox as your mainstay…the support just isn’t there yet. What do you suggest I use besides flexbox to get the same functionalities? Not suggesting that you don’t use it…just have a fallback for browsers that don’t support it. Codepen seems a little sparse…I can only see a menu.
#content {
-webkit-flex: 1 0 auto;
flex: 1 0 auto;
}
would suffice.
