In firefox the "root" div element does not grow to fit width of the parent element but occupies the room needed to fit the content - that's perfect. However in Chrome and Safari the "root" div element grows to occupy the whole width of the parent container. What's the reason of this difference? Ideally I would like to achieve FF behavior, it's perfect.
You use
display: flex;
However, if you want it not to grow to fit width of the parent element, but occupy the room needed to fit the content, you should use
display: inline-flex;
For older browsers, you may need
display: -moz-box;
display: -ms-inline-flexbox;
display: -webkit-inline-flex;
display: inline-flex;
.flex {
/* old syntax */
display: -moz-box;
display: -ms-inline-flexbox;
/* new syntax */
display: -webkit-inline-flex;
display: inline-flex;
}
.container {
border: 1px solid gray;
padding: 5px;
background: #ecd953;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
}
.button {
width: 70px;
height: 50px;
background: #1b486f;
color: white;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
padding-top: 5px;
}
.wrap {
margin: 5px;
}
<div class="flex container">
<div class="wrap">
<div id="elem2" class="button">
<span id="txt">2</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
