I have a checkbox with text next to it in a little pop-up window:
HTML:
<div class="box">
<div class="checkbox-wrapper">
<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" />
<p class="checkbox-label">Filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler</p>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.box {
width: 80%;
height: 100px;
background-color: #d1d1d1;
margin-left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, 0);
}
.checkbox-wrapper {
display: inline-block;
max-width: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
margin-left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, 0);
}
.checkbox {
display: inline-block;
}
.checkbox-label {
display: inline-block;
color: #2e2e2e;
font-size: 15px;
margin: auto;
margin-left: 10px;
}
The problem is that since I have .checkbox-wrapper
to be white-space: nowrap;
, it goes off the pop-up menu. However, if I remove the white-space: nowrap;
, the text wraps way too soon and doesn't take up all the space in the pop-up window. How can I make it so the text only wraps after it hits 100% of the pop-up div's width?
you can use flexbox here, I have attached jsfiddle snippet here.
.box {
width: 80%;
height: 100px;
background-color: #d1d1d1;
margin-left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, 0);
}
.checkbox-wrapper {
display: flex;
max-width: 100%;
flex-wrap: nowrap;
}
.checkbox-label {
color: #2e2e2e;
font-size: 15px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-top: 0;
}
<div class="box">
<div class="checkbox-wrapper">
<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" />
<p class="checkbox-label">Filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler</p>
</div>
</div>
