How to prevent inline-block divs from wrapping?
Add white-space: nowrap;
to your .layout
style declaration.
This will do exactly what you need: preventing the divs from wrapping.
Watch the
jsFiddle demo
or run the following snippet full screen and resize it:
.layout {
white-space : nowrap; /* this does the trick */
overflow : hidden; /* this prevents the grey divs from overflowing */
vertical-align : top;
border-radius : 15px;
display : inline-block;
}
.layoutbacking {
border-radius : 15px;
background : #CCCCCC;
padding : 5px;
margin : 5px;
}
<div class="layout" style="background: #222222; width: 100%">
