![]() Grid-template-rows: minmax(1em, auto) 1fr auto minmax(1em, auto) Grid-template-columns: 1fr repeat(6, minmax(auto, 10em)) 1fr With CSS grid, you can now do the same in the browser: In a print environment, you don’t use margins to center-align content or apply flex sections to match the height of sections - you just place them where they belong on the grid: The header, content and sidebar area, and footer each take up one row, the header and footer take up all eight columns, while the content occupies columns 2 to 5, and the sidebar columns 6 and 7. ![]() What’s the first thing you do? You create a grid: four rows and eight columns. ![]() Now, put away your web design hat for a moment and think of this as a layout you are asked to create in your favorite design application. To solve this layout challenge using traditional CSS layout methods, the content, sidebar and two equal-sized sections would be grouped together in a container, with max-width set to 60em that container would be centered, setting margin-right and margin-left to auto the different sections would be placed next to one another by setting the main container to display: flex and each element would be given a flex value or, in the days before flexbox, by floating them left and right. ![]() The content takes up two-thirds of the available space, the sidebar one-third, and the two sections below half the space each. Think of how you would create the layout below using CSS: a responsive two-column layout with a full-bleed header and footer, the main area center-aligned with a maximum width of 60 ems. Much of what we know of the possibilities, limitations and best practices surrounding web layouts is effectively rendered obsolete by this new layout module, and in their place we find new possibilities, limitations and best practices that will take us into the next era of web design. Today, we are in the early stages of such a revolutionary shift, brought about by CSS Grid Layout. Our industry thrives on constant, aggressive development, and new technologies emerge on a regular basis that change the way we do things in fundamental ways. This is most definitely true for front-end web development. Industries often experience evolution less as slow and steady progress than as revolutionary shifts in modality that change best practices and methodologies seemingly overnight. What you’ll get is a starting point for exploring what new layout opportunities and challenges CSS grid brings, what old problems it solves and how to start using the module in production websites today. In this article, Morten Rand-Hendriksen will bring you some concepts into practical use. Much of what we know of the possibilities, limitations and best practices surrounding web layouts is effectively rendered obsolete by the CSS Grid Layout module.
