We can set in CSS3 -moz-max-content
(for Firefox) and -webkit-max-content
(for Chrome, Safari) as width
, but it seems -ms-max-co
-max-content
it is not supported by IE, according to CanIuse.
So I created a fallback for IE that might help you, by setting .button
to display:inline-block
:
.button {
background: #d1d1d1;
margin: 2px;
cursor: pointer;
width: -moz-max-content;
width: -webkit-max-content;
width: -o-max-content;
/* width: -ms-max-content;*/
}
/* fallback for IE*/
.button {
display: inline-block;
}
UPDATE: (Based on OP comment)
It's working, but I don't want to display the elements inline.
here is the final answer:
.button {
background: #d1d1d1;
margin: 2px;
cursor: pointer;
width: -moz-max-content;
width: -webkit-max-content;
width: -o-max-content
/* width: -ms-max-content;*/
}
/* fallback for IE*/
.width {
width:100%
}
.button {
display: inline-block;
}
Nowadays and for awhile there is a cleaner approach to this issue, by simply setting the parent as display: flex
, and you even won't need the *-max-content
value in width
property
.button {
background: #d1d1d1;
margin: 2px;
cursor: pointer;
}
/* the fix */
section {
display: flex
}
