I need to keep the middle grid-item empty. I thought it would have been possible with the following property: grid-template-areas
grid-template-areas:
"header . header"
"main . ."
"footer . footer";
But this unfortunately does not give the correct display.
So I did it with 5 classes named item-a to item-e and then in css set the correct position in the grid. This however doesn't feel like a very efficient way to do it. Does any one know how to make it a more efficient?
.content-container {
width: 51.5em;
height: 30em;
padding: 2.125em 1.5em;
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 45% auto 45%;
grid-template-rows: auto;
}
.item-a {
grid-column: 1;
grid-row: 1 / 3;
}
.item-b {
grid-column: 3;
grid-row: 1 / 3;
}
.item-c {
grid-column: 1;
grid-row: 2 / 3;
}
.item-d {
grid-column: 1;
grid-row: 3 / 3;
}
.item-e {
grid-column: 3;
grid-row: 3 / 3;
}
<div class="content-container">
<div class="item-a">
<label for="firstName" class="label">First Name</label>
<input id="firstName" type="text" class="input" placeholder="Enter your first name">
</div>
<div class="item-b">
<label for="lastName" class="label">Last Name</label>
<input id="lastName" type="text" class="input" placeholder="Enter your last name">
</div>
<div class="item-c">
<label for="email" class="label">Email</label>
<input id="email" type="email" class="input" placeholder="Enter your email">
</div>
<div class="item-d">
<label for="password" class="label">Password</label>
<input id="password" type="password" class="input" placeholder="Enter your password">
</div>
<div class="item-e">
<label for="passwordConfirmation" class="label">Confirm Password</label>
<input id="passwordConfirmation" type="password" class="input" placeholder="Enter your password again">
</div>
</div>
If you have a grid element that should span two columns, you can do grid-column: span 2 , or grid-row: span 2 for rows. Or, of course, both, or a higher number. You might think that 1/2 refers to filling up the first two columns: it doesn't. It refers to the first two lines: i.e. the first "column".
You don't need all that code, you can simplify like below:
.content-container {
max-width: 51.5em;
height: 20em;
padding: 2.125em 1.5em;
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; /* define only 2 columns*/
column-gap: 4em; /* control the gap between both columns*/
border:1px solid;
}
.item-d {
grid-column: 1; /* move the passwer to the first column instead of the second one*/
}
input {
display: block;
width:100%;
box-sizing:border-box;
}
<div class="content-container">
<div>
<label for="firstName" class="label">First Name</label>
<input id="firstName" type="text" class="input" placeholder="Enter your first name">
</div>
<div>
<label for="lastName" class="label">Last Name</label>
<input id="lastName" type="text" class="input" placeholder="Enter your last name">
</div>
<div>
<label for="email" class="label">Email</label>
<input id="email" type="email" class="input" placeholder="Enter your email">
</div>
<div class="item-d">
<label for="password" class="label">Password</label>
<input id="password" type="password" class="input" placeholder="Enter your password">
</div>
<div>
<label for="passwordConfirmation" class="label">Confirm Password</label>
<input id="passwordConfirmation" type="password" class="input" placeholder="Enter your password again">
</div>
</div>
Another simplification:
.content-container {
max-width: 51.5em;
height: 20em;
padding: 2.125em 1.5em;
display: grid;
column-gap: 4em;
border:1px solid;
}
.content-container :nth-child(2) {
grid-column: 2;
grid-row:span 2;
}
input {
display: block;
width:100%;
box-sizing:border-box;
}
<div class="content-container">
<div>
<label for="firstName" class="label">First Name</label>
<input id="firstName" type="text" class="input" placeholder="Enter your first name">
</div>
<div>
<label for="lastName" class="label">Last Name</label>
<input id="lastName" type="text" class="input" placeholder="Enter your last name">
</div>
<div>
<label for="email" class="label">Email</label>
<input id="email" type="email" class="input" placeholder="Enter your email">
</div>
<div >
<label for="password" class="label">Password</label>
<input id="password" type="password" class="input" placeholder="Enter your password">
</div>
<div>
<label for="passwordConfirmation" class="label">Confirm Password</label>
<input id="passwordConfirmation" type="password" class="input" placeholder="Enter your password again">
</div>
</div>
