-Creating rows and columns of elements that adapt dynamically can be a little tricky depending on the desired outcome. Let's breakdown how to solve this issue using both `inline-block` paired with `width` and `flex-basis`.
-
-## Width
-
-Setting the width of the inner children to a divisible value and setting their display to `inline-block`, we are able to create self-wrapping elements:
-
-
- .width-container {
- display: block;
- }
- .width-container__item {
- display: inline-block;
- width: calc(33% - 3px); /* Fix for wonky inline-block margins */
- }
-
-
-### Pros
-
-- <a href="https://caniuse.com/#search=inline-block">Full browser support</a> (as far back as IE6)
-- No floats needed
-
-### Cons
-
-- Buggy `margin` workaround needed
-- Wrapped elements cannot dynamically fill remaining empty parent space
-
-## Flex-basis
-
-This is my personal preference for dynamically wrapping inner children elements. Simply set the parent as `display: flex`, allow flex-wrapping and then set the `flex-basis` of the children to any percentage value.
-
-
- .flex-container {
- display: flex;
- flex-wrap: wrap;
- }
- .flex-container__item {
- flex: 1 1 auto;
- flex-basis: 33%;
- }
-
-
-You will also notice the `flex` property set to `1 1 auto`. This is important if you require your wrapped elements to fill the remaining space of the parent container.
-
-### Pros
-
-- No buggy margins to play with
-- Dynamically renders children to fill parent container if `flex` is set
-- Scales well across screen / device sizes
-
-### Cons
-
-- Some versions of IE struggle with <a href="https://caniuse.com/#search=flex-basis">browser support</a>
