8.25. CSS Grid Container

grid-template-columns attribute ¶

grid-template-columns property defines the number of columns in the gridlayout, and it can also set the width of each column.

Property values are a list separated by spaces, where each value defines thewidth relative to the column.

If you want the grid layout to contain 4 columns, you need to set the width of 4 columns. If all columns are the same width, you can set the width to auto .

The following example sets a grid layout with 4 columns:

Example

.grid-container { display: grid; grid-template-columns: auto auto auto auto; } 

Note: if you have more than 4 grid elements in a 4-column grid, the grid layout generates a new row to place the element.

Example

.grid-container { display: grid; grid-template-columns: 80px 200px auto 40px; }
