I'm starting to learn web development from
I want to know how do I right or left align the main div in the background? Which style/command does one use for this?
CodePudding user response:
if you want that the elements in your section get aligned to the right you should add :
align-items: flex-end;
your section css should be like so :
#container {
background-color: #003049;
width: 90%;
height: 500px;
margin: 0 auto;
border: 5px solid #003049;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: flex-end;
flex-wrap:wrap;
}
CodePudding user response:
You have left and right margin defined at auto right now so it's currently centered. You can set margin-left: auto;
for it to be right-aligned, and do the opposite for it to be left-aligned.
body {
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;}
h1 {
text-align: center;
}
#container {
background-color: #003049;
width: 90%;
height: 500px;
margin-left: auto;
border: 5px solid #003049;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
/* justify-content: flex-end; */
flex-wrap:wrap;
}
#container div{
height:200px;
width: 200px;
}
body {
margin: 0;
}

For left align align-items: flex-start;
and
align-items: flex-end;
for right align.
body {
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}
h1 {
text-align: center;
}
#container {
background-color: #003049;
width: 90%;
height: 500px;
margin: 0 auto;
border: 5px solid #003049;

flex-direction: column;
/*right align*/
align-items: flex-end;
/*left align*/
/* align-items: flex-start; */
/* justify-content: flex-end; */
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
#container div {
