I can't understand why this input field with margin (at all sides) is not fitting well within that div. I was hoping to see the input with the right margin being shown.

Width 100% will set the width to the available space, which in this case is the width of the parent div. Try setting the width to width: calc(100% - 20px);
(subtract the margin out).
here is a fiddle link to demonstrate https://jsfiddle.net/2vcokm6x/
CodePudding user response:
The problem is that your width: 100%
on the input
element does not account for the margin being set. To work around this, you need to subtract 20px
(for both the left and right margin) from the width
. This can be achieved with calc()
, as seen in the following:
body {
margin: 0;
}
.div2 {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
background-color: indianred;
}
.div2 input {
width: calc(100% - 20px);
margin: 10px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
