Chrome 43 Flexbox flex-grow issue - flexbox

Before Chrome 43, div1 would take up 10% of the container height regardless of its childrens size, and div1 would overflow. As of Chrome 43 div1 doesnt follow flex-grow anyone more and instead grows to its childrens size. Is this supposed to work this way? How do i get div1 to overflow and follow its flex-grow property. Thanks!
Heres a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/HorseFace/xsbmmf4o/
<div id="container">
<div id="div1">
<div id="inner1"></div>
</div>
<div id="div2">
<div id="inner2"></div>
</div>
</div>
#container {
height: 500px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
#div1 {
background: red;
flex-grow: 0.1;
}
#inner1 {
height: 200px;
background: lightcoral;
}
#div2 {
background: blue;
flex-grow: 0.9;
overflow: auto;
}
#inner2 {
height: 200px;
background: #ccccff;
}
body {
color: purple;
background-color: #d8da3d
}

You are misunderstanding flex-grow. It sets the flex grow factor,
which determines how much the flex item will grow relative to the rest of the flex items in the flex container when positive free space is distributed. When omitted, it is set to 1.
So only free space space is distributed. If you want that flex item to take up 10% of the flex container, you should set the flex-basis to 0:
the flex basis [is] the initial main size of the flex item, before free space is distributed.
Note you can use the shorthand flex property to set both flex-grow and flex-basis simultaneously (and flex-shrink too):
flex: 0.1; /*
flex-grow: 0.1;
flex-shrink: 1;
flex-basis: 0;
*/
Also note that the Flexbox spec changed the initial value of min-height and min-width to auto (previously it was 0). This may break your percentages, so either use overflow different than visible, or set min-height: 0.
body {
color: purple;
background-color: #d8da3d
}
#container {
height: 500px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
#div1, #div2 {
min-height: 0; /* Or `overflow: hidden` */
}
#div1 {
background: red;
flex: 0.1;
}
#inner1 {
height: 200px;
background: lightcoral;
}
#div2 {
background: blue;
flex: 0.9;
overflow: auto;
}
#inner2 {
height: 200px;
background: #ccccff;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="div1">
<div id="inner1">Inner1</div>
</div>
<div id="div2">
<div id="inner2">Inner2</div>

Flexbox gap workaround for Safari

I finished my website but I didn't realize that safari doesn't support the flexbox gap. Is there a way around this without having the mess anything up? This is mostly for my media queries.
<div class="social-media">
<a href="https://github.com/">
<img class="social-media__icon" src="img/github.png" alt="Github">
</a>
<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/">
<img class="social-media__icon" src="img/linkedin.png" alt="LinkedIn">
</a>
</div>
.social-media {
display: -webkit-box;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
-webkit-box-pack: center;
-ms-flex-pack: center;
justify-content: center;
gap: 8rem;
margin-top: 10rem;
padding-bottom: 2rem;
}
.social-media img {
width: 90px;
height: 90px;
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 400px) {
.social-media {
gap: 3rem;
margin-top: 5rem;
}
.social-media img {
width: 62px;
height: 62px;
}
}
Use the Lobotomized owl selector: .parent > * + * {} to add a margin-left that gives you space between the elements that come after another element, this way you eliminate the undesired margin it creates when you put the margin directly to the child's first element (.social-media img{})
.social-media > * + * { margin-left: 8rem;}
Here you can read more about the Lobotomized Owl Selector
Edit: Gap is now supported in safari so you should be able to use it no problem.
Property gap with display: flex is not supported by Safar version < 14 https://caniuse.com/flexbox-gap .
You might want to replace display flex with grid:
display: grid;
grid-gap: 8rem; /* Safari 10-11 */
gap: 8rem; /* Safari 12+ */
because grid's gap is supported in older Safari versions: https://caniuse.com/mdn-css_properties_gap_grid_context
The accepted answer has the problem, that you will have a wrong margin on the first element if when there is only one row. Also centered elements will always be 8rem too far the right.
Better solution that will always work with correct spacings:
.container {
display: flex;
// the trick is to set margins around boxes, but correct the margins around elements that are situated at the border of the container with negative margins
margin: 0 -10px -20px -10px;
}
.box {
min-width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: deeppink;
margin: 0 10px 20px 10px;
}
<div class='container'>
<div class='box'>1</div>
<div class='box'>2</div>
<div class='box'>3</div>
<div class='box'>4</div>
</div>
You can remove the gap class and add another one to child elements
<div class="d-flex"> // it was "d-flex gap" previously
<div class="mx-2">
//content
</div>
<div class="mx-2">
//content
</div>
</div>
I think you could make a div container and put justify-content: space-between; then i think it should work

Foreach loop not displaying content properly

I am using node.js and its framework express to create a movie image gallery. A foreach loop is used to display data onto the page. The image gallery should display 4 images across in each row. For some apparent reason, the layout grid is broken and images are being duplicated when displayed on page. How can I create a grid layout for my image gallery with no duplicated data?
index.ejs
<!-- Photo Grid -->
<div class="row-image">
<% movies.forEach(function(movies) { %>
<div class="column">
<img src="<%= movies.image %>" style="width:100%">
<div class="desc">
<%= movies.name %>
</div>
</div>
<div class="column">
<img src="<%= movies.image %>" style="width:100%">
<div class="desc"><%= movies.name %></div>
</div>
</div>
<% } ); %>
main.css
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.row-image {
display: -ms-flexbox; /* IE10 */
display: flex;
-ms-flex-wrap: wrap; /* IE10 */
flex-wrap: wrap;
padding: 0 14px;
}
/* Create four equal columns that sits next to each other */
.column {
-ms-flex: 25%; /* IE10 */
flex: 25%;
max-width: 25%;
padding: 0 4px 20px;
}
.column img {
margin-top: 8px;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 100%;
border-radius: 9px;
}
.desc a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
color: #b3b3b3;
}
/* Responsive layout - makes a two column-layout instead of four columns */
#media screen and (max-width: 800px) {
.column {
-ms-flex: 50%;
flex: 50%;
max-width: 50%;
}
}
/* Responsive layout - makes the two columns stack on top of each other instead of next to each other */
#media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.column {
-ms-flex: 100%;
flex: 100%;
max-width: 50%;
}
}

Email sending code
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host:'XX',
port :465,
secure: true,
auth: {
user: 'XX',
pass: 'XX'
}
});
var mailOptions = {
from: '<sender>', // sender address
to:'me#me.com', // list of receivers
subject: 'Welcome', // Subject line
html:template
};
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info) {

res.send(error);
return console.log("Error ",error);
}
res.send('Message %s sent: %s', info.messageId, info.response);
});
But the problem is email is not rendering the HTMl properly styles are missing
I'm not an authority on this, but I'm fairly sure the html payload of an email is supposed to be a lot simpler than a full document. Whether or not it gets rendered, and how complicated the styles can be is really up to the client that the receiver is using to view the email (gmail, thunderbird, etc, etc).
I'd use a couple rules of thumb for sure:
Don't expect anything from the <head> element to be included. I'd even leave out the <body> and just use a <div> or <p> or <table> as your root element.
Put styles either directly on your elements, or in a <style> tag - not in the <head> as that will likely be excluded.
No links to local resources! I think you're trying to grab a font from a relative url. Best to avoid all external resources if you can, but if you must, absolute urls may work.
The simpler the better.
You can really do a lot with just a few styles in an email. If you really need your branded font, just create a logo image that features it. Nodemailer has some cool tricky ways to include your images as attachments so they don't count as external resources and are less likely to be blocked. (I can't find the docs, but here is a quick guide).
External files dont seem to work with nodemailer,
You are referencing a CSS file, you need to make all those styles inline

Multiple width flexicolumns

I have been struggling with the flexbox column layout. I am trying to create a 3 column layout that stretch vertically all the way to the end of the page (height:100%;). However, 2 of the columns must have specific widths that still scale down on different size screens, is this possible?
CSS:
.container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
height: 100%;
}
.initial {
-webkit-flex: initial;
flex: 1;
width: 510px;
min-width: 100px;
}
.flex1 {
-webkit-flex-basis: 28px; /* Safari 6.1+ */
flex-basis: 28px;
}
.flex2 {
-webkit-flex: 2;
flex: 2;
}
HTML
<div class="container">
<section class="elem initial">
<div id="Left">
<h1>Heading</h1>
<p>Lorem Ipsum...</p>
</div>
</section>
<section class="elem flex1">
<div class="col"><img src="img/stripe"/></div>
</section>
<section class="elem flex2">
<div id="Right">
<h2>Header</h2>
<ul>
<li>List item.</li>
</ul>
</div>
</section>
</div>
Here's a working example of what you might be looking for, if I've understood the question correct.
I've commented the important stuff in the code. Take a look at the code, and compare it with your own. You've been using some unnecessary flexbox elements such as flex-basis: 28px; which should just be width: 28px;

CSS
html, body {
height: 100%; /* Makes it possible to illustrate the full 100% height */
}
.container {
display: flex; /* Adds flex functionality */
height: 100%;

}
.flex1 {
width: 28px;

}
.flex2 {
flex: 1; /* Fills the rest of the available space */
background-color: green;
}
UPDATE
I forked the pen in order to create a new working example based on the comments from the author of this question. He wanted the columns to wrap and the gutter to disappear at a certain size - I've used media queries to accomplish this.

HTML is the same.
CSS

.container {

}
#media all and (min-width: 768px) {
.container {
flex-direction: row;

}
.initial {

floating an image over other divs, from the right

I've read many other posts regarding floating divs, but haven't been able to find success yet with the things I've tested, so here I am... (I'm still new to this, so apologies if my code isn't super clean!)
I have an image that I'd like to float over several others. My goal (if it is attainable) is to have it in a fixed position from the upper right corner of .container. I'm close... but I can't get the image to move in from the right, and as it sits now, it is bumping the other photo out of the header (without the .crosses added, it sits in the green, right-aligned.)
The project requires that it still looks good (or degrades nicely) in IE7.
I've set up a fiddle here: (can't figure out what the red error means by "links to jsfiddle.net must be accompanied by code") so, if you could just go there and visit:
