Undesired Column Layout HTML/CSS












1















I have a CSS layout problem. In the Portfolio section of my site @ 763px breakpoint I want 3 rows with 2 columns in each of them. I have that.



[.col] [.col]

[.col] [.col]

[.col] [.col]



But from 926px - 978px my columns break up and then i get 4 rows like this:



[.col] [.col]

[.col]

[.col] [.col]

[.col]



Why is this happening? And what is the solution? Thank you.

          Your problem is that one of the divs is higher than the other, then, the float logic will place the third div to the left of the first div.
          If you'll add borders, you'll see it more clearly. Since the first div is higher than the second, the third div still a place to be float to the first div.



          If you'll give them fixed height it will solve the problem.



          BUT, I suggest using a different layout. Flex for example:



          Add to container:



          .row-content{
          display: flex;
          flex-wrap: wrap;
          }


          and for each col :



          flex-grow: 1;
          flex-basis: 47%;
          flex-shrink: 0;





          main {

            I couldn't repro this error between the given resolution but my best hunch is due to the difference in the text content. Try doing the same with the same text content for the description and it should be alright. If that's the case, you have to add a min-height to the inconsistent text-content.



            .col p {
            width: 90%;
            margin: 0 auto;
            min-height: 100px;
            }

              Your problem is that one of the divs is higher than the other, then, the float logic will place the third div to the left of the first div.
              If you'll add borders, you'll see it more clearly. Since the first div is higher than the second, the third div still a place to be float to the first div.



              If you'll give them fixed height it will solve the problem.



              BUT, I suggest using a different layout. Flex for example:



              Add to container:



              .row-content{
              display: flex;
              flex-wrap: wrap;
              }


              and for each col :



              flex-grow: 1;
              flex-basis: 47%;
              flex-shrink: 0;





              main {
              margin: 55px 0px -30px 0px;
              background: linear-gradient(transparent, rgba(102, 194, 255, 0.4) 10%, transparent 99%);
              padding-bottom: 5rem;
              }

              h2 {
              text-align: center;
              margin: 5rem 0;
              font-size: 1.6rem;
              }

              h3 {

                  Your problem is that one of the divs is higher than the other, then, the float logic will place the third div to the left of the first div.
                  If you'll add borders, you'll see it more clearly. Since the first div is higher than the second, the third div still a place to be float to the first div.



                  If you'll give them fixed height it will solve the problem.



                  BUT, I suggest using a different layout. Flex for example:



                  Add to container:



                  .row-content{
                  display: flex;
                  flex-wrap: wrap;
                  }


                  and for each col :



                  flex-grow: 1;
                  flex-basis: 47%;
                  flex-shrink: 0;

                      I couldn't repro this error between the given resolution but my best hunch is due to the difference in the text content. Try doing the same with the same text content for the description and it should be alright. If that's the case, you have to add a min-height to the inconsistent text-content.



                      .col p {
                      width: 90%;
                      margin: 0 auto;
                      min-height: 100px;
                      }
