Table of contentsGrid layout contains features targeted at web application authors. The grid can be used to achieve many different layouts. It excels at dividing up space for major regions of an application, or defining the relationship in terms of size, position, and layer between parts of a control built from HTML primitives.
Like tables, grid layout enables an author to align elements into columns and rows, but unlike tables, grid layout doesn't have content structure, and thus enables a wide variety of layouts not possible with tables. For example, the children of a grid container can position themselves such that they overlap and layer similar to positioned elements.
In addition, the absence of content structure in grid layout helps to manage changes to layout by using fluid and source order independent layout techniques. By combining media queries with the CSS properties that control layout of the grid container and its children, authors can adapt their layout to changes in device form factors, orientation, and available space, without needing to alter the semantic nature of their content.
A common use of design grids is to allow content to flow normally, but "snap" components to grid lines based on their normal flow position. Consider adding a grid placement algorithm based on such relative positioning. Note that this is a non-trivial issue as it impacts the static flow of content. In addition, the grid's algorithm currently depends on knowing the position of every grid item in advance to determine the size of its tracks; when snapping to grid lines, however, the line to which the grid item will snap is influenced by both the item's size and the size of tracks the item covers.
1.1. Background and MotivationApplication layout example requiring horizontal and vertical alignment.
As websites evolved from simple documents into complex, interactive applications, tools for document layout, e.g. floats, were not necessarily well suited for application layout. By using a combination of tables, JavaScript, or careful measurements on floated elements, authors discovered workarounds to achieve desired layouts. Layouts that adapted to the available space were often brittle and resulted in counter-intuitive behavior as space became constrained. As an alternative, authors of many web applications opted for a fixed layout that cannot take advantage of changes in the available rendering space on a screen.
The capabilities of grid layout address these problems. It provides a mechanism for authors to divide available space for layout into columns and rows using a set of predictable sizing behaviors. Authors can then precisely position and size the building block elements of their application by into grid areas defined by these columns and rows. Figure 1 illustrates a basic layout which can be achieved with grid layout.
1.2. Adapting Layouts to Available SpaceFive grid items arranged according to content size and available space.
Growth in the grid due to an increase in available space.
Grid layout can be used to intelligently reflow elements within a webpage. Figure 2 represents a game with five major areas in the layout: the game title, stats area, game board, score area, and control area. The author's intent is to divide the space for the game such that:
As an alternative to using script to control the absolute position, width, and height of all elements, the author can use grid layout, as shown in Figure 3. The following example shows how an author might achieve all the sizing, placement, and alignment rules declaratively.
Note that there are multiple ways to specify the structure of the grid and to position and size grid items, each optimized for different scenarios. This example illustrates one that an author may use to define the position and space for each grid item using the ‘grid-definition-rows’ and ‘grid-definition-columns’ properties on the grid container, and the ‘grid-row’ and ‘grid-column’ properties on each grid item.
<style type="text/css">
#grid {
display: grid;
/* Two columns: the first sized to content, the second receives
* the remaining space, but is never smaller than the minimum
* size of the board or the game controls, which occupy this
* column. */
grid-definition-columns: auto minmax(min-content, 1fr);
/* Three rows: the first and last sized to content, the middle
* row receives the remaining space, but is never smaller than
* the minimum height of the board or stats areas. */
grid-definition-rows: auto minmax(min-content, 1fr) auto
}
/* Each part of the game is positioned between grid lines by
* referencing the starting grid line and then specifying, if more
* than one, the number of rows or columns spanned to determine
* the ending grid line, which establishes bounds for the part. */
#title { grid-column: 1; grid-row: 1 }
#score { grid-column: 1; grid-row: 3 }
#stats { grid-column: 1; grid-row: 2; justify-self: start }
#board { grid-column: 2; grid-row: 1 / span 2; }
#controls { grid-column: 2; grid-row: 3; align-self: center }
</style>
<div id="grid">
<div id="title">Game Title</div>
<div id="score">Score</div>
<div id="stats">Stats</div>
<div id="board">Board</div>
<div id="controls">Controls</div>
</div>1.3. Source Independence
An arrangement suitable for ‘portrait’ orientation.
An arrangement suitable for ‘landscape’ orientation.
Continuing the prior example, the author also wants the game to adapt to the space available on traditional computer monitors, handheld devices, or tablet computers. Also, the game should optimize the placement of the components when viewed either in landscape or portrait orientation (Figures 4 and 5). By combining grid layout with media queries, the author is able to use the same semantic markup, but rearrange the layout of elements independent of their source order, to achieve the desired layout in both orientations.
The following example leverages grid layout’s ability to name the space which will be occupied by a grid item. This allows the author to avoid rewriting rules for grid items as the grid’s definition changes.
<style type="text/css">
@media (orientation: portrait) {
#grid {
display: grid;
/* The rows, columns and areas of the grid are defined visually
* using the grid-template property. Each string is a row, and
* each word an area. The number of words in a string
* determines the number of columns. Note the number of words
* in each string must be identical. */
grid-template: "title stats"
"score stats"
"board board"
"ctrls ctrls";
/* Columns and rows created with the template property can be
* assigned a sizing function with the grid-definition-columns
* and grid-definition-rows properties. */
grid-definition-columns: auto minmax(min-content, 1fr);
grid-definition-rows: auto auto minmax(min-content, 1fr) auto
}
}
@media (orientation: landscape) {
#grid {
display: grid;
/* Again the template property defines areas of the same name,
* but this time positioned differently to better suit a
* landscape orientation. */
grid-template: "title board"
"stats board"
"score ctrls";
grid-definition-columns: auto minmax(min-content, 1fr);
grid-definition-rows: auto minmax(min-content, 1fr) auto
}
}
/* The grid-area property places a grid item into a named
* region (area) of the grid. */
#title { grid-area: title }
#score { grid-area: score }
#stats { grid-area: stats }
#board { grid-area: board }
#controls { grid-area: ctrls }
</style>
<div id="grid">
<div id="title">Game Title</div>
<div id="score">Score</div>
<div id="stats">Stats</div>
<div id="board">Board</div>
<div id="controls">Controls</div>
</div>1.4. Grid Layering of Elements
A control composed of layered HTML elements.
In the example shown in Figure 6, the author is creating a custom slider control. The control has six parts. The lower and upper labels align to the left and right edges of the control. The track of the slider spans the area between the labels. The lower and upper fill parts touch beneath the thumb, and the thumb is a fixed width and height that can be moved along the track by updating the two flex-sized columns.
Prior to the introduction of grid layout, the author would have likely used absolute positioning to control the top and left coordinates, along with the width and height of each HTML element that comprises the control. By leveraging grid layout, the author can instead limit script usage to handling mouse events on the thumb, which snaps to various positions along the track as the ‘grid-definition-columns’ property of the grid container is updated.
<style type="text/css">
#grid {
display: grid;
/* The grid-definition-columns and rows properties also support
* naming grid lines which can then be used to position grid
* items. The line names are assigned on either side of a column
* or row sizing function where the line would logically exist. */
grid-definition-columns:
"start" auto
"track-start" 0.5fr
"thumb-start" auto
"fill-split" auto
"thumb-end" 0.5fr
"track-end" auto
"end";
}
/* The grid-placement properties accept named lines. Below the
* lines are referred to by name. Beyond any
* semantic advantage, the names also allow the author to avoid
* renumbering the grid-start and grid-before properties of the
* grid items. This is similar to the concept demonstrated in the
* prior example with the grid-template property during orientation
* changes, but grid lines can also work with layered grid items
* that have overlapping areas of different shapes like the thumb
* and track parts in this example. */
#lower-label { grid-start: "start" }
#track { grid-column: "track-start" / "track-end"; align-self: center }
#upper-label { grid-end: "end"; }
/* Fill parts are drawn above the track so set z-index to 5. */
#lower-fill { grid-column: "track-start" / "fill-split";
align-self: end;
z-index: 5 }
#upper-fill { grid-column: "fill-split" / "track-end";
align-self: start;
z-index: 5 }
/* Thumb is the topmost part; assign it the highest z-index value. */
#thumb { grid-column: "thumb-start" / "thumb-end"; z-index: 10 }
</style>
<div id="grid">
<div id="lower-label">Lower Label</div>
<div id="upper-label">Upper Label</div>
<div id="track">Track</div>
<div id="lower-fill">Lower Fill</div>
<div id="upper-fill">Upper Fill</div>
<div id="thumb">Thumb</div>
</div>2. Grid Layout Concepts and Terminology
In grid layout, the content of a grid container is laid out by positioning and aligning it into a grid. The grid is an intersecting set of horizontal and vertical grid lines that divides the grid container’s space into grid areas, into which grid items (representing the grid container’s content) can be placed. There are two sets of grid lines: one set defining columns that run along the block axis, and an orthogonal set defining rows along the inline axis. [CSS3-WRITING-MODES]
Grid lines: Three in the block axis and four in the inline axis.
2.1. Grid TracksGrid track is a generic term for a grid column or grid row—in other words, it is the space between two adjacent grid lines. Each grid track is assigned a sizing function, which controls how wide or tall the column or row may grow, and thus how far apart its bounding grid lines are.
In the following example there are two columns and three rows. The first column is fixed at 150px. The second column uses flexible sizing, which is a function of the unassigned space in the Grid, and thus will vary as the width of the grid container changes. If the used width of the grid container is 200px, then the second column 50px wide. If the used width of the grid element is 100px, then the second column is 0px and any content positioned in the column will overflow the grid container.
<style type="text/css">
#grid {
display: grid;
grid-definition-columns: 150px 1fr; /* two columns */
grid-definition-rows: 50px 1fr 50px /* three rows */
}
</style>2.2. Grid Lines
Grid lines are the horizontal and vertical dividing lines of the grid. A grid line exists on either side of a column or row. They can be referred to by numerical index, or by an author-specified name. A grid item references the grid lines to determine its position within the grid using the grid-placement properties.
The following two examples create three column grid lines and four row grid lines. The first example demonstrates how an author would position a grid item using grid line numbers. The second example uses explicitly named grid lines.
<style type="text/css">
#grid {
display: grid;
grid-definition-columns: 150px 1fr;
grid-definition-rows: 50px 1fr 50px
}
#item1 { grid-column: 2;
grid-start: 1; grid-end: 1; }
</style>
<style type="text/css">
/* equivalent layout to the prior example, but using named lines */
#grid {
display: grid;
grid-definition-columns: 150px "item1-start" 1fr "item1-end";
grid-definition-rows: "item1-start" 50px 1fr 50px "item1-end"
}
#item1 {
grid-column: "item1-start" / "item1-end";
grid-row: "item1-start" / "item1-end"
}
</style>2.3. Grid Areas
A grid area is the logical space used to lay out one or more grid items. It is bound by four grid lines, one on each side of the grid area, and participates in the sizing of the grid tracks it intersects. A grid area can be named explicitly using the ‘grid-template’ property of the grid container, or referenced implicitly by its bounding grid lines. A grid item is assigned to a grid area using the grid-placement properties.
<style type="text/css">
/* using the template syntax */
#grid {
display: grid;
grid-template: ". a"
"b a"
". a";
grid-definition-columns: 150px 1fr;
grid-definition-rows: 50px 1fr 50px
}
#item1 { grid-area: a }
#item2 { grid-area: b }
#item3 { grid-area: b }
/* Align items 2 and 3 at different points in the Grid Area "b". */
/* By default, Grid Items are stretched to fit their Grid Area */
/* and these items would layer one over the other. */
#item2 { align-self: head }
#item3 { justify-self: end; align-self: foot }
</style>
A grid item’s grid area forms the containing block into which it is laid out. Percentage lengths specified on a grid item resolve against this containing block. Percentages specified for ‘margin-top’, ‘padding-top’, ‘margin-bottom’, and ‘padding-bottom’ on a grid item resolve against the height of its containing block, rather than the width (as for blocks).
Grid items placed into the same grid area do not directly affect each other's layout. Indirectly, a grid item can affect the position of a grid line in a column or row that uses a contents-based relative size, which in turn can affect the position or size of another grid item.
3. Grid Layout Box Model 3.1. Grid Containers: the ‘grid’ and ‘inline-grid’ ‘display’ values
grid’
inline-grid’
A grid container establishes a new grid formatting context for its contents. This is the same as establishing a block formatting context, except that grid layout is used instead of block layout: floats do not intrude into the grid container, and the grid container's margins do not collapse with the margins of its contents. Grid containers form a containing block for their contents exactly like block containers do. [CSS21] The ‘overflow’ property applies to grid containers.
Grid containers are not block containers, and so some properties that were designed with the assumption of block layout don't apply in the context of grid layout. In particular:
column-*’ properties in the Multicol module have no effect on a grid container.float’ and ‘clear’ have no effect on a grid item. (However, the ‘float’ property still affects the computed value of ‘display’ on children of a grid container, as this occurs before grid items are determined.)vertical-align’ has no effect on a grid item.::first-line’ and ‘::first-letter’ pseudo-elements do not apply to grid containers.If an element's specified ‘display’ is ‘inline-grid’ and the element is floated or absolutely positioned, the computed value of ‘display’ is ‘grid’. The table in CSS 2.1 Chapter 9.7 is thus amended to contain an additional row, with ‘inline-grid’ in the "Specified Value" column and ‘grid’ in the "Computed Value" column.
subgrid’ ‘display’ value
This is a proposal to address the alignment of sub-items across grid items, so that, for example, a grid of labels + inputs (with each pair styled as a unit) can still align the individual elements in a greater grid. Potential issues:
A grid item can itself be a grid container by giving it ‘display: grid’; in this case the layout of its contents will be independent of the layout of the grid it participates in.
In some cases it might be necessary for the contents of multiple grid items to align to each other; in this case ‘display: subgrid’ can be used. A grid item with ‘display: subgrid’ behaves just like one with ‘display: grid’ except that:
grid-definition-columns’ and ‘grid-definition-row’ properties do not apply. Instead the number of explicit tracks is given by its grid span.For example, suppose we have a form consisting of a list of inputs with labels:
<ul> <li><label>Name:</label> <input name=fn> <li><label>Address:</label> <input name=address> <li><label>Phone:</label> <input name=phone> </ul>
We want the labels and inputs to align, and we want to style each list item with a border. This can be accomplished with subgrid layout:
ul {
display: grid;
grid-auto-flow: rows;
grid-definition-columns: auto 1fr;
}
li {
display: subgrid;
margin: 0.5em;
border: solid;
padding: 0.5em;
}
label {
grid-column: 1;
}
input {
grid-column: 2;
}4. Grid Items
The contents of a grid container consists of zero or more grid items: each child of a grid container becomes a grid item, and each contiguous run of text that is directly contained inside a grid element is wrapped in an anonymous grid item. However, an anonymous grid item that contains only white space is not rendered, as if it were ‘display:none’.
This will place all of the contents of the grid on top of each other in slot 1 1. Alternatives:
grid-auto-flow’).A grid item establishes a new formatting context for its contents. The type of this formatting context is determined by its ‘display’ value, as usual. The computed ‘display’ of a grid item is determined by applying the table in CSS 2.1 Chapter 9.7. However, grid items are grid-level boxes, not block-level boxes: they participate in their container's grid formatting context, not in a block formatting context.
Examples of grid items:
<div style="display:grid"> <!-- grid item: block child --> <div id="item1">block</div> <!-- grid item: floated element; floating is ignored --> <div id="item2" style="float: left;">float</div> <!-- grid item: anonymous block box around inline content --> anonymous item 3 <!-- grid item: inline child --> <span> item 4 <!-- grid items do not split around blocks --> <div id=not-an-item>item 4</div> item 4 </span> </div>
Some values of ‘display’ trigger the generation of anonymous boxes. For example, a misparented ‘table-cell’ child is fixed up by generating anonymous ‘table’ and ‘table-row’ elements around it. [CSS21] This fixup must occur before a grid container’s children are promoted to grid items. For example, given two contiguous child elements with ‘display:table-cell’, an anonymous table wrapper box around them becomes the grid item.
Future display types may generate anonymous containers (e.g. ruby) or otherwise mangle the box tree (e.g. run-ins). It is intended that grid item determination run after these operations.
4.1. Non-children Grid ItemsThis is a proposal to create the ability to have descendants of a grid item participate in a grid layout, similar to the behavior defined by the Template Layout module.
A descendant of the grid can be pulled out of flow and participate directly in the grid by assigning it ‘position: grid’. An element with ‘position: grid’ is pulled out of flow and participates as a grid item belonging to the first ancestor with ‘display: grid’. If the element is positioned using named lines or slots, it belongs to the first ancestor with ‘display: grid’ that has all of the corresponding named lines/slots. If no such ancestor exists, the item remains in flow.
Alternatively, the item can just go into the first grid, and missing names are treated as ‘auto’.
An absolutely-positioned child element of a grid container does not participate directly in grid layout. Its static position is ???
Below is a proposal for how to deal with abspos in grid containers. It gives us many of the capabilities of [CSS3GRID].
If an absolutely positioned element's containing block is generated by a grid container, the grid-placement properties can be used to constrain it to a particular grid area, similar to how they affect regular grid items. In this case, an ‘auto’ value for a grid-placement property indicates ...
auto’ value in a dimension, as it resolves to ‘span 1’)This can allow an abspos to "skip past" intervening grid containers, and resolve its grid-placement properties against a grid container other than its closest ancestor.
4.3. Collapsed Grid Items: the ‘visibility’ property
Specifying ‘visibility: collapse’ on a grid item causes it to become a collapsed grid item. This has the same effect as ‘visibility: hidden’, except that if all the grid items spanning a track are collapsed, the track's intrinsic size becomes zero.
Or should the track size be set to 0 regardless of its sizing function?
4.4. Reordered Grid Items: the ‘order’ property
The ‘order’ property, defined in [CSS3-FLEXBOX], also applies to grid items. It affects their auto-placement and painting order.
The three properties ‘grid-definition-rows’, ‘grid-definition-columns’, and ‘grid-template’ together define the explicit grid of a grid container. The final grid may end up larger due to grid items placed outside the explicit grid; in this case, any implicit tracks are sized by the ‘grid-auto-rows’ and ‘grid-auto-columns’ properties.
The size of the explicit grid is determined by the larger of the number of rows/columns defined by ‘grid-template’ and the number of rows/columns sized by ‘grid-definition-rows’/‘grid-definition-columns’. Any rows/columns defined by ‘grid-template’ but not sized by ‘grid-definition-rows’/‘grid-definition-columns’ take their size from the ‘grid-auto-rows’/‘grid-auto-columns’ properties.
Numeric indexes in the grid-placement properties count from the edges of the explicit grid. Positive indexes count from the before/start side, while negative indexes count from the after/end side.
Since all three properties define the explicit grid, would it make sense to give them all a common prefix (and possibly a shorthand unifying them, as in Bert's ‘grid’ shorthand)? Current thoughts: ‘grid-template’ as the shorthand, with ‘grid-template-rows/columns/slots’ as the longhands, or ‘grid-definition’ as the shorthand, with ‘grid-definition-rows/columns/template’ as the longhands. Other suggestions welcome.
grid-definition-rows’ and ‘grid-definition-columns’ properties Name: grid-definition-columns, grid-definition-rows Value: none | <track-list> Initial: none Applies to: grid containers Inherited: no Percentages: n/a Media: visual Computed value: As specified, except for ‘auto’ (see prose)
These properties specify, as a space-separated track list, the line names and track sizing functions of the grid. Each sizing function can be specified as a length, a percentage of the grid container’s size, a measurement of the contents occupying the column or row, or a fraction of the free space in the grid. It can also be specified as a range using the ‘minmax()’ notation, which can combine any of the previously mentioned mechanisms to define a min and max size for the column or row.
The ‘grid-definition-columns’ property specifies the track list for the grid's columns, while ‘grid-definition-rows’ specifies the track list for the grid's rows. The syntax of a track list is:
<track-list> = [ <string>* [ <track-size> | <repeat-function> ] ]+ <string>* <track-size> = minmax( <track-breadth> , <track-breadth> ) | auto | <track-breadth> <track-breadth> = <length> | <percentage> | <flex> | min-content | max-content
Where:
auto’.
minmax(min,max)’ is treated as min.
minmax(min-content, max-content)’.
Handling of percentages inside indefinite-sized grid containers is more similar to blocks/etc, rather than tables. (In tables, they imply a table size through black magic.) Is that all right?
The none value indicates that there is no initial grid; any rows/columns will be implicitly generated, and their size will be determined by the ‘grid-auto-rows’ and ‘grid-auto-columns’ properties.
Given the following ‘grid-definition-columns’ declaration:
grid-definition-columns: 100px 1fr max-content minmax(min-content, 1fr);
Five grid lines are created:
If the non-flexible sizes (‘100px’, ‘max-content’, and ‘min-content’) sum to larger than the grid container’s width, the final grid line will be a distance equal to their sum away from the start edge of the grid container (the ‘1fr’ sizes both resolve to ‘0’). If the sum is less than the grid container’s width, the final grid line will be exactly at the end edge of the grid container. This is true in general whenever there's at least one <flex> value among the grid track sizes.
Additional examples of valid grid track definitions:
/* examples of valid track definitions */ grid-definition-rows: 1fr minmax(min-content, 1fr); grid-definition-rows: 10px repeat(2, 1fr auto minmax(30%, 1fr)); grid-definition-rows: calc(4em - 5px)5.1.1. Named Grid Lines
The syntax for named lines kindof sucks right now. See thread on www-style and add your opinions!
While grid lines can always be referred to by their numerical index, they can also be explicitly named in the ‘grid-definition-rows’ and ‘grid-definition-columns’ properties. This can make the grid-placement properties easier to understand by using meaningful names in their values, and easier to maintain if the grid definition changes in the future.
For example, the following code gives meaningful names to all of the lines in the grid. Note that some of the lines have multiple names.
<style>
#grid {
display: grid;
grid-definition-columns: "first" "nav" 150px "main" 1fr "last";
grid-definition-rows: "first" "header" 50px "main" 1fr "footer" 50px "last";
}
</style>
Named Grid Lines.
Consider merging grid line names with grid field names. See: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Sep/0047.html for proposal.
5.1.2. Repeating Rows and Columns: the ‘repeat()’ notation
The ‘repeat()’ notation represents a repeated fragment of the track list. This is just a syntactic shorthand that allows writing a large number of columns or rows that exhibit a recurring pattern in a more compact form. The syntax of the ‘repeat()’ notation is:
<repeat-function> = repeat( <positive-integer> , [ <string>* <track-size> ]+ <string>* )
The first argument specifies the number of repetitions. The second argument is a track list, which is repeated that number of times. The ‘repeat()’ notation cannot be nested; doing so makes the declaration invalid.
This example shows two equivalent ways of writing the same grid definition. Both ways produce a grid with a single row and four "main" columns, each 250px wide, surrounded by 10px "gutter" columns.
<style>
#grid {
display: grid;
grid-definition-columns: 10px "col-start" 250px "col-end"
10px "col-start" 250px "col-end"
10px "col-start" 250px "col-end"
10px "col-start" 250px "col-end" 10px;
grid-definition-rows: 1fr;
}
/* Equivalent definition. */
#grid {
display: grid;
grid-definition-columns: repeat(4, 10px "col-start" 250px "col-end") 10px;
grid-definition-rows: 1fr;
}
</style>5.1.3. Flexible Lengths: the ‘fr’ unit
The ‘fr’ unit represents a fraction of the free space in the grid container.
The distribution of free space occurs after all non-flexible sizing functions have reached their maximum. The total size of such rows or columns is subtracted from the available space, yielding the free space, which is then divided among the flex-sized rows and columns in proportion to their flex factor.
Flexible lengths in a track list work similarly to flexible lengths with a zero base size in [CSS3-FLEXBOX].
Each column or row's share of the free space can be computed as the column or row's <flex> * <free space> / <sum of all flex factors>. For the purpose of this calculation, a flexible length in the min position of a ‘minmax()’ function is treated as ‘0’ (an inflexible length).
When the available space is infinite (which happens when the grid container’s width or height is indefinite), flex-sized grid tracks are sized to their contents while retaining their respective proportions. The used size of each flex-sized grid track is computed by determining the ‘max-content’ size of each flex-sized grid track and dividing that size by the respective flex factor to determine a hypothetical 1fr size. The maximum of those is used as the ‘1fr’ length, which is then multiplied by each grid track’s flex factor to determine its final size.
The resolved value of the ‘grid-definition-rows’ and ‘grid-definition-columns’ properties is the used value, serialized as follows:
repeat()’ notation.<style>
#grid {
width: 500px;
grid-definition-columns:
"a" auto
"b" minmax(min-content, 1fr)
"b" "c" "d" repeat(2, "e" 40px)
repeat(5, auto);
}

In general, resolved values are the computed values, except for a small list of legacy 2.1 properties. Do we really want these properties to return the used value here?
5.2. Named Areas: the ‘grid-template’ property Name: grid-template Value: none | <string>+ Initial: none Applies to: grid containers Inherited: no Percentages: n/a Media: visual Computed value: specified value
This property specifies named grid areas, which are not associated with any particular grid item, but can be referenced from the grid-placement properties. The syntax of the ‘grid-template’ property also provides a visualization of the structure of the grid, making the overall layout of the grid container easier to understand.
Values have the following meanings:
none’
grid-template’ property, and a column is created for each identifier or period ("." U+002E) in the string, when the string's contents are parsed as CSS.
All strings must have the same number of columns, or else the declaration is invalid. If a named grid area spans multiple grid cells, but those cells do not form a single filled-in rectangle, the declaration is invalid. If a string's contents, when parsed as CSS, contain anything other than whitespace, identifiers, or periods, the declaration is invalid.
Non-rectangular or disconnected regions may be permitted in a future version of this module.
In this example, the ‘grid-template’ property is used to create a page layout where areas are defined for header content (head), navigational content (nav), footer content (foot), and main content (main). Accordingly, the template creates three rows and two columns, with four named grid areas. The head area spans both columns and the first row of the grid.
<style type="text/css">
#grid {
display: grid;
grid-template: "head head"
"nav main"
"foot . "
}
#grid > header { grid-area: head; }
#grid > nav { grid-area: nav; }
#grid > main { grid-area: main; }
#grid > footer { grid-area: foot; }
</style>5.3. Auto-generated Rows and Columns: the ‘grid-auto-rows’ and ‘grid-auto-columns’ properties
If a grid item is positioned into a row or column that is not explicitly sized by ‘grid-definition-row’ or ‘grid-definition-column’, implicit grid tracks are created to hold it. This can happen either by explicitly positioning into a row or column that is out of range, or by the auto-placement algorithm creating additional rows or columns. The ‘grid-auto-columns’ and ‘grid-auto-rows’ properties specify the size of such implicitly-created tracks.
This example illustrates the sizing of implicit grid tracks. Note that grid item B is positioned on grid line 5, which automatically creates four implicit grid columns. However, only two of them (the first and the last) are occupied by any grid items, so the two empty grid tracks collapse to zero width.
A Grid with an implicit row and four implicit columns, two of which are zero-sized.
<style type="text/css">
#grid {
display: grid;
grid-definition-columns: 20px;
grid-definition-rows: 20px }
#A { grid-column: 1; grid-row: 1; }
#B { grid-column: 5; grid-row: 1 / span 2; }
#C { grid-column: 1 / span 2; grid-row: 2; }
</style>

</div>6. Placing Grid Items
Put in "common uses" section, like ‘flex’ has, to describe what you would use ‘grid-area’ for, etc.
grid-before’, ‘grid-start’, ‘grid-after’, and ‘grid-end’ properties
These are somewhat awkward, but nobody's been able to come up with a clearer set of four property names. If anyone has suggestions, please, please post them. (Other syntax improvement suggestions are also welcome.)
Name: grid-before, grid-start, grid-after, grid-end Value: <grid-line> Initial: auto Applies to: grid items Inherited: no Percentages: n/a Media: visual Computed value: specified value (almost)<grid-line> = auto | [ <integer> || <string> ] | [ span && [ <integer> || <string> ] ] | <ident>
The ‘grid-before’, ‘grid-start’, ‘grid-after’, and ‘grid-end’ properties (collectively, the grid-placement properties) specify, respectively, the before, start, after, and end grid lines of a grid item’s grid area. In each dimension (row or column), they resolve to either a specific pair of lines (specifying a position and implying a grid span), or just a grid span (implying auto-placement in that dimension).
Values have the following meanings:
1’. A value of zero makes the declaration invalid.
1’. Negative integers or zero are invalid.
If opposing grid-placement properties both specify a grid span, they both compute to ‘auto’.
auto’ (computing either to ‘auto’ or ‘span 1’).
auto’ computes to ‘span 1’. Otherwise (if the opposing grid-placement property is ‘auto’ or specifies an explicit grid span), it indicates that the grid item is placed using the auto-placement algorithm.
If ‘grid-after/end’ specifies a line at or before that specified by ‘grid-before/start’, it computes to ‘span 1’.
If ‘grid-before’ specifies a named grid line, but no grid row lines of that name exist, the before edge of the grid area is set to the first grid row line (or the last, if the <integer> is negative). If there are grid row lines of that name, but the <integer> specified exceeds the number of such grid row lines, the before edge of the grid area is set to the last grid row line of that name (or the first, if the <integer> is negative). Analogously for the other three grid-placement properties.
Given a single-row, 8-column grid and the following 9 named lines:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ | | | | | | | | | A B C A B C A B C | | | | | | | | | +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
The following declarations place the grid item between the lines indicated by index:
grid-start: 4; grid-end: auto; /* Line 4 to line 5 */ grid-start: auto; grid-end: 6; /* Line 5 to line 6 */ grid-start: 'C'; grid-end: 'C'; /* Line 3 to line 9 */ grid-start: 'C'; grid-end: span 'C'; /* Line 3 to line 6 */ grid-start: span 'C'; grid-end: 'C'; /* Line 6 to line 9 */ grid-start: span 'C'; grid-end: span 'C'; /* Error: both properties compute to ''auto'' */ grid-start: 5; grid-end: 'C'; /* Line 5 to line 9 */ grid-start: 5; grid-end: span 'C'; /* Line 5 to line 6 */ grid-start: 8; grid-end: 8; /* Error: line 8 to line 9 */ grid-start: 'B' 2; grid-end: span 1; /* Line 5 to line 6 */6.2. Placement Shorthands: the ‘
grid-column’, ‘grid-row’, and ‘grid-area’ properties Name: grid-column, grid-row Value: <grid-line> [ / <grid-line> ]? Initial: see individual properties Applies to: grid items Inherited: see individual properties Percentages: see individual properties Media: visual Computed value: see individual properties
The ‘grid-row’ and ‘grid-column’ properties are shorthands for ‘grid-before/after’ and ‘grid-start/end’, respectively.
If two <grid-line> values are specified, the before/start longhand is set to the value before the slash, and the after/end longhand is set to the value after the slash.
When the second value is omitted, if the first value is an <ident>, the after/end longhand is also set to that <ident>; otherwise, it is set to ‘auto’.
If four <grid-line> values are specified, ‘grid-before’ is set to the first value, ‘grid-start’ is set to the second value, ‘grid-after’ is set to the third value, and ‘grid-end’ is set to the fourth value.
When ‘grid-end’ is omitted, if ‘grid-start’ is an <ident>, ‘grid-end’ is set to that <ident>; otherwise, it is set to ‘auto’.
When ‘grid-after’ is omitted, if ‘grid-before’ is an <ident>, ‘grid-after’ is set to that <ident>; otherwise, it is set to ‘auto’.
When ‘grid-start’ is omitted, if ‘grid-before’ is an <ident>, all four longhands are set to that value. Otherwise, it is set to ‘auto’.
The WG needs to resolve on the equivalent of t/r/b/l order for logical shorthands. Here, we're using b/s/a/e order, because it is the most logical. However, it is only equivalent to t/r/b/l for RTL users.
Should ‘grid-area’ be ‘grid-field’?
grid-auto-flow’ property Name: grid-auto-flow Value: none | rows | columns Initial: none Applies to: grid containers Inherited: no Percentages: n/a Media: visual Computed value: specified value
Grid items can be automatically placed into an unoccupied space in the grid container. The ‘grid-auto-flow’ property controls the direction in which the search for unoccupied space takes place, and whether rows or columns are added as needed to accommodate the content.
none’
rows’
columns’
Auto-placement takes grid items in ‘order’-modified document order.
In the following example, there are three columns, each auto-sized to their contents. No rows are explicitly defined. The ‘grid-auto-flow’ property is ‘rows’ which instructs the grid to search across its three columns starting with the first row, then the next, adding rows as needed until sufficient space is located to accommodate the position of any auto-placed grid item.
A form arranged using automatic placement.

won't overlap other explicitly placed items or areas

grid-column: "oversized";
grid-row: span 3;
}
/* Place all the buttons of the form
in the explicitly defined grid area. */
#buttons {
grid-row: auto;
/* Ensure the button area spans the entire grid element
in the row axis. */
grid-column: 1 / 1;
text-align: end;

The following summarizes the algorithm for auto placement of Grid items:
auto’ in source order:
grid-template’ property, the ‘grid-definition-rows’ and ‘grid-definition-columns’ properties, the position and size of any explicitly-defined grid items, or any minor-axis ‘auto’ values resolved by the step 1 of the algorithm. Note that this step must be run prior to the layout algorithm.auto’, in source order:
auto’, then:
auto’, then:
Two mistakes in the algorithm currently:
This algorithm creates a "sparse" packing, where holes left behind are never filled in. This is more efficient and predictable (items never move to a position far above/before their preceding sibling), but the gaps are unwanted by authors in some situations. We should have a switch to allow for dense packing. (WebKit's current implementation does dense packing.)
7. AlignmentAfter a grid container’s grid tracks have been sized, and the dimensions of all grid items are finalized, grid items can be aligned within their grid areas by using ‘auto’ margins or the alignment properties.
By default, grid items stretch to fill their grid area. However, if ‘justify-self’ or ‘align-self’ compute to a value other than ‘stretch’ or margins are ‘auto’, grid items will auto-size to fit their contents.
A value of ‘stretch’ causes the Grid item’s width to shrink or grow in accordance with the equation for calculating width described in section 9.3 of the CSS3 Box Model, with the following exception: the paragraph in 9.3 which describes the behavior of items that are larger than their containing block is not applicable for the purpose of calculating the size of Grid items. Note that this calculation is symmetric for both the width and height of the Grid item.
The preceding paragraph seems inconsistent with Flexbox. In Flexbox, auto margins effectively "turn off" stretch entirely, so underflowing items get aligned per the margins and overflowing items overflow the line (rather than being shrunk to the size of the line). In the preceding paragraph, it seems that stretched grid items will always grow/shrink to the size of the grid area regardless of margins. I believe we want the Flexbox behavior.
7.1. Aligning with ‘auto’ margins
This section is non-normative. The normative definition of how margins affect grid items is in the Flex Layout Algorithm section.
Auto margins on grid items have an effect very similar to auto margins in block flow:
0’.Note that, if free space is distributed to auto margins, the alignment properties will have no effect in that dimension because the margins will have stolen all the free space left over after flexing.
TODO: EXAMPLE HERE
7.2. Row-axis Alignment: the ‘justify-self’ and ‘justify-items’ properties
Grid items can be aligned in the inline dimension by using the ‘justify-self’ property on the grid item or ‘justify-items’ property on the grid container, as defined in [CSS3-ALIGN].
For example, for an English document, the inline axis is horizontal, and so the ‘
justify-*
’ properties align the
grid itemshorizontally.
TODO: provide example7.3. Column-axis Alignment: the ‘
align-self’ and ‘align-items’ properties
Grid items can also be aligned in the block dimension (perpendicular to the inline dimension) by using the ‘align-self’ property on the grid item or ‘align-items’ property on the grid container, as defined in [CSS3-ALIGN].
z-index’ property
Grid items can overlap when they are positioned into intersecting grid areas. Grid item boxes in non-intersecting areas can also overlap because of negative margins or positioning.
When grid items overlap, the ‘z-index’ property provides control over the drawing order of grid items. Grid items paint exactly the same as flex items [CSS3-FLEXBOX]: they use ‘order’-modified document order, and ‘z-index’ values other than ‘auto’ create a stacking context even if ‘position’ is ‘static’.
Note: Descendants that are positioned outside a grid item still participate in any stacking context established by the grid item.
The following diagram shows several overlapping grid items, with a combination of implicit source order and explicit ‘z-index’ used to control their stacking order.
Drawing order controlled by z-index and source order.

#E { grid-column: 1 / span 2; grid-row: 1 / span 2;
z-index: 5; justify-self: center; align-self: center; }

<div id="B">B</div>
<div id="C">C</div>
<div id="D">D</div>
<div id="E">E</div>
</div>7.5. Grid Baselines
The baselines of a grid container are determined as follows:
order’-modified grid order) has a baseline parallel to the relevant axis, the grid container's baseline is that baseline.order’-modified grid order) content box, or, failing that, from the grid container's content box.A grid item participates in baseline alignment in a particular dimension if its value for ‘align-self’ or ‘justify-self’, as appropriate, is ‘baseline’ and its inline axis is parallel to that dimension.
‘order’-modified grid order is the order in which grid items are encountered when traversing the grid's grid cells, in row-major order if calculating the inline-axis baseline, or in column-major order if calculating the block-axis baseline. If two items are encountered at the same time, they are taken in ‘order’-modified document order.
When calculating the baseline according to the above rules, if the box contributing a baseline has an ‘overflow’ value that allows scrolling, the box must be treated as being in its initial scroll position for the purpose of determining its baseline.
When determining the baseline of a table cell, a grid container provides a baseline just as a line box or table-row does. [CSS21]
8. Grid Layout Algorithm 8.1. Definition of Terms for use in Calculating Grid Track SizesThis is the core Grid track sizing algorithm. It is run for Grid columns and Grid rows. The goal of the function is to ensure:
For the purposes of resolving the breadth that satisfies the MinTrackSizingFunction and MaxTrackSizingFunction, each Grid track falls into one of three categories:
The breadths which satisfy MinTrackSizingFunctions and MaxTrackSizingFunctions for the first category of Grid tracks are resolved in step 1 during Grid track variable initialization. The breadths which satisfy the MinTrackSizingFunctions and the MaxTrackSizingFunctions for the second category of content-sized Grid tracks are resolved in step 2. At the end of step 2, the first goal of ComputeUsedBreadthOfGridTracks function has been satisfied: the UsedBreadth variable of each GridTrack now satisfies its MinTrackSizingFunction. The MaxBreadth variable for each Grid track now contains the resolved value for its MaxTrackSizingFunction.
In step 3, the second goal of this function is satisfied as each (non-flex-sized) Grid track attempts to grow from the UsedBreadth value to the MaxBreadth value, subject to RemainingSpace.
Finally in step 4, the third category of flex-sized Grid tracks can be resolved using what is now the RemainingSpace having updated the UsedBreadth of each Grid track at the end of step 3.
The purpose of this function is to resolve the contribution that each Grid item makes to any min-content or max-content TrackSizingFunctions for the Grid tracks it covers. There are four permutations: min-content or max-content in either the MinTrackSizingFunction or MaxTrackSizingFunction. MinTrackSizingFunctions are resolved before MaxTrackSizingFunctions, and min-content contributions are resolved before max-content contributions. Note that when resolving min-content contributions they may grow tracks that have either min-content or max-content keywords, as seen in 3.a.i and 3.b.i below.
Currently this algorithm embodies several heuristics which regulate the growth of spanning Grid items to accommodate certain use cases. (E.g. the game example in Figures 2 and 3 above.) These heuristics should be a normative part of this specification to ensure interoperability. To the extent additional use cases can be identified that cannot be satisfied by following the current heuristics, the normative algorithm can be updated, or additional mechanisms can be introduced for fine-grained control of content-based TrackSizingFunction.
The above function, ResolveContentBasedTrackSizingFunctions, groups Grid items based on the number of Grid tracks each Grid item spanned. ResolveContentBasedTrackSizingFunctionsForItems, below, then calls DistributeSpaceToTracks for each Grid item in the group to determine how much each Grid item needs to grow the Grid tracks that it covers. The maximum contribution made by any Grid item is accumulated into a temporary, per-Grid track variable, and at the end of the group, the space is recorded into a final Grid track variable as determined by the Accumulator function.
Ensures that for each Grid track in RecipientTracks, a value will be computed, UpdatedTrackBreadth, that represents the Grid track’s share of SpaceToDistribute.
There are two parts to this function. The first for loop in step 2 is giving each Grid track an equal share of the space, but without exceeding their TrackGrowthConstraint values. Because there are different MaxBreadths assigned to the different Grid tracks, the first loop can result in their uneven growth.
If the first loop completes having grown every Grid track to its TrackGrowthConstraint, and there is still SpaceToDistribute, then SubsetOfTracksForGrowthBeyondTrackGrowthConstraint are further grown equally until SpaceToDistribute is exhausted.
Note that Grid tracks considered by this function may have a TrackGrowthConstraint equal to Infinity, which signals that these tracks have not yet been grown by a Grid item. These tracks can therefore be grown without exceeding the TrackGrowthConstraint of the track. By only growing tracks up to their TrackGrowthConstraint value, we can ensure that the grid remains "tight" - that is, that track breadth is as close to the content size of the Grid items inside as possible. Only once all Grid tracks have a CurrentBreadth equal to a TrackGrowthConstraint do we move to the second for loop and grow tracks further, thereby making the Grid element less tight.
1fr’ value, referred to as the NormalizedFlexBreadth, for a set of Grid tracks. The value computed will ensure that when the NormalizedFlexBreadth is multiplied by the flex factors associated with GridTracks, that the UsedBreadths of GridTracks will increase by an amount equal to the maximum of zero and the specified SpaceToFill less the sum of the current UsedBreadths.
The CSS3 Box Model defines the shrink-to-fit behavior of an element as min(max(preferred minimum width, available width), preferred width), with available width defined in the Box Model spec. Accordingly, for the Grid element we define the preferred minimum width as the sum of the UsedBreadths of the Grid tracks just before step 3 in ComputeUsedBreadthOfGridTracks, and the preferred width as the sum of the UsedBreadths of the Grid tracks after the entire track sizing algorithm has been run with infinite space.
Fill this in.
10. Conformance 10.1. Module interactionsThis module extends the definition of the ‘display’ property [CSS21], adding a new block-level and new inline-level display type, and defining a new type of formatting context along with properties to control its layout. None of the properties defined in this module apply to the ‘::first-line’ or ‘::first-letter’ pseudo-elements.
This specification follows the CSS property definition conventions from [CSS21]. Value types not defined in this specification are defined in CSS Level 2 Revision 1 [CSS21]. Other CSS modules may expand the definitions of these value types: for example [CSS3VAL], when combined with this module, expands the definition of the <length> value type as used in this specification.
In addition to the property-specific values listed in their definitions, all properties defined in this specification also accept the ‘inherit’ keyword as their property value. For readability it has not been repeated explicitly.
Conformance requirements are expressed with a combination of descriptive assertions and RFC 2119 terminology. The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in the normative parts of this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119. However, for readability, these words do not appear in all uppercase letters in this specification.
All of the text of this specification is normative except sections explicitly marked as non-normative, examples, and notes. [RFC2119]
Examples in this specification are introduced with the words “for example” or are set apart from the normative text with class="example", like this:
This is an example of an informative example.
Informative notes begin with the word “Note” and are set apart from the normative text with class="note", like this:
Note, this is an informative note.
10.4. Conformance classesConformance to CSS Grid Layout Module is defined for three conformance classes:
A style sheet is conformant to CSS Grid Layout Module if all of its statements that use syntax defined in this module are valid according to the generic CSS grammar and the individual grammars of each feature defined in this module.
A renderer is conformant to CSS Grid Layout Module if, in addition to interpreting the style sheet as defined by the appropriate specifications, it supports all the features defined by CSS Grid Layout Module by parsing them correctly and rendering the document accordingly. However, the inability of a UA to correctly render a document due to limitations of the device does not make the UA non-conformant. (For example, a UA is not required to render color on a monochrome monitor.)
An authoring tool is conformant to CSS Grid Layout Module if it writes style sheets that are syntactically correct according to the generic CSS grammar and the individual grammars of each feature in this module, and meet all other conformance requirements of style sheets as described in this module.
10.5. Partial implementationsSo that authors can exploit the forward-compatible parsing rules to assign fallback values, CSS renderers must treat as invalid (and ignore as appropriate) any at-rules, properties, property values, keywords, and other syntactic constructs for which they have no usable level of support. In particular, user agents must not selectively ignore unsupported component values and honor supported values in a single multi-value property declaration: if any value is considered invalid (as unsupported values must be), CSS requires that the entire declaration be ignored.
10.6. Experimental implementationsTo avoid clashes with future CSS features, the CSS2.1 specification reserves a prefixed syntax for proprietary and experimental extensions to CSS.
Prior to a specification reaching the Candidate Recommendation stage in the W3C process, all implementations of a CSS feature are considered experimental. The CSS Working Group recommends that implementations use a vendor-prefixed syntax for such features, including those in W3C Working Drafts. This avoids incompatibilities with future changes in the draft.
10.7. Non-experimental implementationsOnce a specification reaches the Candidate Recommendation stage, non-experimental implementations are possible, and implementors should release an unprefixed implementation of any CR-level feature they can demonstrate to be correctly implemented according to spec.
To establish and maintain the interoperability of CSS across implementations, the CSS Working Group requests that non-experimental CSS renderers submit an implementation report (and, if necessary, the testcases used for that implementation report) to the W3C before releasing an unprefixed implementation of any CSS features. Testcases submitted to W3C are subject to review and correction by the CSS Working Group.
Further information on submitting testcases and implementation reports can be found from on the CSS Working Group's website at http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/. Questions should be directed to the public-css-testsuite@w3.org mailing list.
