Unable to align the second flexbox column to the left












0















My problem is this: I have a flexbox that places a summary section and an image section in a row. The summary section is a nested flexbox that displays the 3 lists as the first column and the horizontal soiltype list as the second column. The problem is that the content of the second column is placed in the center while i want it to align to the left at the same starting position as the lists column above. Here is an image of the current situation:



enter image description here



I have tried using justify-content: flex-start, align-items: flex-start, margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; and margin-left:-500px, but everytime the second column remains fixed in the center. Can anyone please tell me what i should do to move the content of the second column to the right? Thank you,



Here is the code:



HTML:



        <div class="flexBox flexItem">

<li><strong>Plant width:</strong> 15 inch</li>
</ul>

<ul class="details">
<li><strong>Germinates after:</strong> 14 days</li>

    I tested this in a fiddle, jsfiddle.net/0eknd2q4 , and alignment seems to work fine. Note that I did add .soils ul{margin: 0; padding: 0;} to fully align left, but it is working otherwise. Do you have extra css code in .flexBox or .flexItem that you didn't give us?

  • @MikeDiglio i checked and i didn't miss any code mentions in those css classes. I checked if maybe this is some quirk in Google Chrome but its not because the same behavior is displayed in microsoft edge, so this is really strange. However your .soils ul solution does work when i also add width:100% to the .soils class. Everything works like a charm now. So thank you for your input. Its strange that adding width:100% somehow solves the problem because im not setting it anywhere else.

  • it is possible that the width: 85% from the .summary class was causing it to be pushed to the middle. In either case, glad you got it working
