Frequently Asked Questions

What is CSS Flexbox?

CSS Flexbox (Flexible Box Layout) is a one-dimensional layout method for arranging items in rows or columns. It makes it easy to create responsive layouts that adapt to different screen sizes without using floats or positioning.

When should I use Flexbox vs Grid?

Use Flexbox for one-dimensional layouts (rows or columns) like navigation bars, button groups, or card layouts. Use CSS Grid for two-dimensional layouts where you need to control both rows and columns simultaneously.

Is Flexbox supported in all browsers?

Yes! Flexbox is supported in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. For older browsers, you may need vendor prefixes which can be added using our CSS autoprefixer tool.

Can I create responsive layouts with Flexbox?
