CSS Grid in IE11: It's Possible! And Not as Hard as You Think
If you look at caniuse, IE11 has partial support for CSS grid. But what does that mean? Basically everything from this version of grid is supported... aka: nothing you can rely on if you're used to modern grid.
Creating a pure responsive CSS Grid Hero Image or Banner Image
To be honest, I was getting so frustrated with the fact no one had a nice clean and straightforward approach until I came across the CSS Grid Generator by Sarah Edo. I was playing around with creating various grid sizes and noticed that if I click on a grid area more than once, I would get more grid areas. Ahhh! You can overlap grid areas!

Bootstrap grid is powered by flexbox, it has a twelve column system, five default responsive tiers, and a mobile-first system.
Dynamically Filling in a CSS Grid with JavaScript
So, what little project have I decided to try out first? Well, many options came to mind. But in the end, I decided to try and find a practical use for the idiotic matrix and grid traversal algorithms all of us are forced to do in the whiteboard challenge round of the dev interview process. The tiny project that I'm about to share simply creates a CSS Grid with a specified number of equal rows and columns. A separate script then places square blocks of a pseudo-random (but limited) size into the grid at a pseudo-random x and y location. This creates a fun randomized section of a page that changes on every page load. I've had great fun with it and hope you do too! The personal website for my wife and I's development studio will soon feature a version of this on our portfolio page that displays the blocks as thumbnails of our past projects.
Re-Order Grid Columns in Bootstrap 5
As you may know the Bootstrap 5 grid utilizes Flexbox. The concept of "parent & children" in Flexbox equates to the "row & columns" of the Bootstrap grid. One parent row containing one or more child columns...

CSS Grid Areas are amazing
But when I would talk to other developers who weren't as hyped about semantic markup, the response I often received was, "I already know how to do a grid system with , and I don't really want to learn a whole new thing right now... am I really going to gain something practical here, or will I just arrive back where I started, but in a different color car? What can I do with CSS Grid that I can't already do with a basic grid system?"

Using CSS Grid in IE11
Most web apps use a grid system to control their layouts. A grid system is a way
of splitting a web page into a set of columns, usually 12 and using that as the
base of your page layout. This pattern is so common that it became standardized
as
CSS Grid Layout.

CSS Grid and IE11
This approach was error-prone, and the more complex our layout became, the more complicated it was to maintain it: we were in need of a more sustainable solution. Here’s where the idea for our grid-annotator polyfill was born: we needed a simple JavaScript that automatically annotates column and row positioning to our components if the browser is IE111. For every other browser, the script simply doesn’t kick in. After only a few hours hacking good old JavaScript, we had our first prototype. We could finally remove all these annoying block classes and this resulted in the markup becoming simpler and more maintainable:
Sidebar layout using Grid & TailwindCSS
gridis shorthand fordisplay:grid. This will establish ourdivas a grid element so we have a main section that will take up the majority of the space, and a sidebar element next to it.md:grid-cols-12says that on medium size screens (screens with a minimum width of 768px) the div will span 12 grid columns.gap-5acts as ourgrid-gapand will add a grid-gap of 1.25rem, or 16px.p-4andm-2set the padding and margin to 1rem and 0.5rem, respectively.

Intrinsically Responsive CSS Grid with minmax() and min()
CSS Grid is now widely supported across modern browsers, and there are lots of folks doing great work with it! But unfortunately, one of the most useful features of the specification doesn’t quite work as advertised. Specifically, it’s not possible to create an “intrinsically responsive grid” — that is, a grid that is responsive based on the size of its container — without the use of media queries. But thanks to some standards that are now available in some browsers and on their way to others, we can fix that!
CSS Grid Based Responsive Image Gallery

Create animating element on CSS Grid with React Hooks
In general,
grid-rowandgrid-columnscannot transition and that is hard to create moving animation element.
Flex items are not grid columns
Let's take the intuition from the second Flexbox attempt, to give each inline item its own "column" and make those "columns" the same size, and translate it over to CSS Grid, where we can drop the quotes: we'll literally define a column in a grid for each item and give them the same size using the
frunit introduced with Grid.
CSS Grid Layout
The grid creates the skeleton structure of the web. It consists of horizontal and vertical grid lines called Row (Column) and Column (Column). By referring these lines, the placement of the elements to be used on the web is provided.
How I Use CSS Grid for Sticky Headers
Adam Racki's great blog post made me realize that it is possible to use
display: gridto create sticky headers. As much as the contribution inspired me, it also confused me (why all this complexity in the code examples??). Here is what I took from it:

7 Best Places to Learn and Practice CSS Grid Layout
When first I started to build the layout of my web pages I was using the Bootstrap grid system without realizing that there is a powerful layout system inside CSS. Styling takes time and not only an hour but probably days and weeks if you are working on a big project and specifically when it is time to work as a freelancer alone. Many frameworks like Bootstrap and libraries have been built to reduce development time and styling time but I think not every time we need to use those frameworks and libraries, an obvious example is CSS GRID LAYOUT SYSTEM. Not only frameworks and libraries get enhanced but languages like HTML, CSS, and JS are getting enhanced.
How to remove outside borders of a 3x3 grid using CSS, e.g. Tic-Tac-Toe UI

3 | 4 | 5
6 | 7 | 8
How I used CSS Grid for my Resume
In CSS Grid, you define your layout with
grid-template-columnswhich tracks the sizing functions of the grid columns. Because I chose a two-columns layout, I needed to put two values in it. My first column is40%of the body size, whereas the second columnauto-matically takes the remaining body size.
I have also usedgrid-column-gapbecause it might happen that the content in the first column ends with the width and I wanted to avoid the overlapping 😉
📷 I created an infinite photo grid using only HTML & CSS
There were 2 options to go with: creating an actual CSS grid with
imgtags all around or using a "collage" with photos (which is easier but doesn't really change the implementation).
Overlaying elements with CSS Grid is so much cleaner than with position! 😲
When I searched for ways to overlay content I usually come across the absolute position method, which by the looks of it has been around for a while. And then I learned about CSS Grid and how we can put multiple elements in the same grid area—and they will just lay on top of each other!
Introducing cssgr.id - an interactive CSS grid boilerplate code generator
So why did I make this? Cssgr.id was created out of necessity for me and my own projects. I found myself looking to use CSS grid based layouts in a number of different projects and when these projects started to require more complex layouts (requiring multiple column and row spans) I found it took me quite a long time to generate just the base code for the grid.
Why CSS Grid is better than Bootstrap for creating layouts
This isn’t a huge problem, but it has annoyed me several times. As the Bootstrap grid is split into twelve columns, you’ll go into trouble if you want a five column layout. Or seven. Or nine. Or anything that doesn’t add up to twelve.
What Layout Grid System should I use in my next GatsbyJS / React project?
But with every project the question arises: which Layout Grid System should I use? There are plenty grid systems out there. Some of them are really bloated, some are not maintained for a very long time, some of them are just simply MEH.

When to use CSS Grid and when to use Flexbox for Multiline Layout
This was inspired by and will eventually supersede Grid’s
grid-gapproperty. Unfortunately, the only way achieve the same result on multiline (wrapping) items in Flexbox using any browser other than Firefox is the Negative Margin Hack. This is where all the child items get a margin equal to half of the gap. Then to account for the extra space on the outside, the container gets a margin of the same value multiplied by -1. You can only use:first-childand:last-childon the items to account for the extra space when you have a single row (non-wrapping flex container).
Happy CSS Grid coding!
