htmlcssheaderfooter

Header and footer is not taking full width

The header and footer works fine in laptop screen. But when I turn on responsive screen and test it in different width, the header and footer both decreases in width. What I want is that when I reduce the width of the screen the header and footer should still take 100% width of the screen like it is supposed to.

I tried using media query but it is not working

Solution

  • The issue occurs because the header is overflowing. To fix this, you just need to add the flex-wrap: wrap; property to both the header and footer. but don't forget to make the header responsive for mobile sizes :) .

    overflow: hidden; /* Added to ensure content is contained */


    body{
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

.header {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    width: 100%;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: space-evenly;
    background-color: aqua;
    margin-top: 0.5rem;
    flex-wrap: wrap; /* Added to ensure content is contained */

}

.left {
    line-height: 0.8;
    display: grid;
    grid-column: 1;
    justify-content: center;
    margin-right: 4rem;
    font-family: "Shadows Into Light", cursive;
    font-style: normal;
    cursor: none;
}

.left-title {
    margin: 0;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 0;
    font-size:2rem;
    text-decoration: underline;
    text-decoration-color: #3C4242;
    font-weight: 600;
}

.middle {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    margin-right: 5rem;
}

.link {
    margin-left: 5rem;
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #3C4242;
    font-size: large;
}

.link:hover{
    color: #0d0d0d;
}

.right {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    align-items: center;
    margin-left: 3rem;
}

.person {
    cursor: pointer;
    margin:0 1rem 0 1rem
}

.cart {
    cursor: pointer;
}

.footer{
    display: flex;
    width: 100%;
    flex-direction: column;
    background-color: #3C4242;
    color: #F6F6F6;
    width: 100% !important;
    overflow: hidden; /* Added to ensure content is contained */
}

.info {
    margin-top: 1rem;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    justify-content: space-evenly;
}

.info > div > p{
    cursor: pointer;
}

.icons {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    justify-content: space-evenly;
    align-items: center;
}

.social {
    padding-top: 1.5rem;
    align-content: center;
}

.icons > div > span {
    height: 1.5rem;
    width: 5rem;
}

.download > h1 {
    line-height: 0.5;
}

.copyright {
