I need some divs to be center-positioned and to fit their content width at the same time.
I am now doing it like this:
.mydiv-centerer{
text-align: center;
.mydiv {
background: none no-repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(1, 56, 110, 0.7);
border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px #0099FF;
color: white;
margin: 10px auto;
padding: 10px;
text-align: justify;
width: -moz-fit-content;
}
}
Now, the last command "width: -moz-fit-content;" is exactly what I need!
Only problem is.. it works only on Firefox.
I also tryed with "display:inline-block;", but I need these divs to behave like divs. Namely, every next div should be under, and not inline, the previous.
Do you know any possible cross-browser solution?
This question is related to

css
cross-browser
Is there a single declaration that fixes this for Webkit, Gecko, and Blink? No. However, there is a cross-browser solution by specifying multiple width property values that correspond to each layout engine's convention.
.mydiv {
...
width: intrinsic; /* Safari/WebKit uses a non-standard name */
width: -moz-max-content; /* Firefox/Gecko */
width: -webkit-max-content; /* Chrome */
...
}
Adapted from: MDN
width: intrinsic; /* Safari/WebKit uses a non-standard name */
width: -moz-max-content; /* Firefox/Gecko */
width: -webkit-max-content; /* Chrome */
Why not use some br
s?
<div class="mydiv-centerer">
<div class="mydiv">Some content</div><br />
<div class="mydiv">More content than before</div><br />
<div class="mydiv">Here is a lot of content that
I was not anticipating</div>
</div>
CSS
.mydiv-centerer{
text-align: center;
}
.mydiv{
background: none no-repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(1, 56, 110, 0.7);
border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px #0099FF;
color: white;
margin: 10px auto;
padding: 10px;
text-align: justify;
display:inline-block;
}
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/YZV25/
Mozilla's MDN suggests something like the following [source]:
p {
width: intrinsic; /* Safari/WebKit uses a non-standard name */
width: -moz-max-content; /* Firefox/Gecko */
width: -webkit-max-content; /* Chrome */
}
In similar case I used: white-space: nowrap;
I use these:
.right {display:table; margin:-18px 0 0 auto;}
.center {display:table; margin:-18px auto 0 auto;}
