I have 2 divs side-by-side in a flexbox. The right hand one should always be the same width, and I want the left hand one to just grab the remaining space. But it won’t unless I specifically set its width.
So at the moment, it’s set to 96% which looks OK until you really squash the screen – then the right hand div gets a bit starved of the space it needs.
I guess I could leave it as it is but it feels wrong – like there has to be a way to say:
the right one is always the same; you on the left – you get everything that’s left
.ar-course-nav {
cursor: pointer;
padding: 8px 12px 8px 12px;
border-radius: 8px;
}
.ar-course-nav:hover {
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}<br/>
<br/>
<div class="ar-course-nav" style="display:flex; justify-content:space-between;">
