I'm looking for a good way to remove the left and right margins from each first and last item in each row without using ::nth-child or JavaScript. If that's not possible then I guess the next best way would be to set negative left/right margins on the main flexbox element, but I'm not quite sure the best way to do it with a flexbox that is width: 100%
. Basically what I want is for there to be no blue color on the left and right of this flexbox.
EDIT: I'm gonna have to provide a solution to my own question here. I put together something that works using a wrapper element with overflow: hidden
and the flexbox is set to width: calc(100% + 5px)
. Turns out Internet Explorer doesn't support box-sizing: border-box
in flexboxes, but there's a workaround that I found here.

HTML:
<div id="main">
<div><span>div 1</span></div>
<div><span>div 2</span></div>
<div><span>div 3</span></div>
<div><span>div 4</span></div>
<div><span>div 5</span></div>
<div><span>div 6</span></div>
<div><span>div 7</span></div>
<div><span>div 8</span></div>
<div><span>div 9</span></div>
<div><span>div 10</span></div>
<div><span>div 11</span></div>
</div>
CSS:
#main {
margin-right: 40px;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
-ms-flex-pack: start;
justify-content: flex-start;
-ms-flex-wrap: wrap;
flex-wrap: wrap;
width: 100%;
background-color: lightblue;
}
#main div {
box-sizing: border-box;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
-ms-flex: 0 0 33.3%;
flex: 0 0 33.3%;
border: 5px solid transparent;
}
#main div > span {
display: block;
width: 100%;
min-height: 50px;
background-color: #eaeaea;
}
You need to add align-content: flex-start on flex-container or in your case #wrapper element. Save this answer. Show activity on this post. In a multi-line flex row layout, the align-content controls how the flex items aligns vertical when they wrap, and since its default is stretch , this is expected behavior.
I changed the justify-content
to space-between
, and adjusted the flex-basis to accompany this change as well as giving the elements padding on top and bottom, but 0 on left and right.
Relevant CSS:
#main {
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
-ms-flex-pack: space-between;
justify-content: space-between;
-ms-flex-wrap: wrap;
flex-wrap: wrap;
width: 100%;
background-color: lightblue;
}
#main div {
box-sizing: border-box;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
-ms-flex: 0 0 32.3%;
flex: 0 0 32.3%;
padding-right:0px;
padding-left:0px;
padding-bottom:5px;
padding-top:5px;
}
