How to Align Flexbox Items Vertically with Different Heights Without Overflowing?
I'm prototyping a solution and I'm writing unit tests and I'm optimizing some code but I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me... I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm working on a responsive layout using Flexbox, and I've encountered an scenario where my flex items, which contain different amounts of content, aren't aligning as I would like. I've set up a simple container with three flex items and applied `align-items: stretch` to make them all the same height. However, if one item has significantly more content than the others, it overflows the container and disrupts the layout. Here's the code I'm currently using: ```css .container { display: flex; align-items: stretch; height: 200px; } .item { flex: 1; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ccc; overflow: hidden; } ``` ```html <div class="container"> <div class="item">Short text</div> <div class="item">This is a bit longer text, but not too much.</div> <div class="item">Here’s a really long piece of text that is going to overflow the container and affect my layout. I would like this to be handled gracefully without impacting the other items.</div> </div> ``` I've tried adding `overflow: hidden` to the `.item` class, but it just cuts off the text and I still want to display all content without changing the layout drastically. I would prefer a solution that doesn't involve setting fixed heights for the items as that would defeat the purpose of being responsive. Is there a way to maintain equal height across all items while still accommodating variable content lengths? What would be the best practice for handling this scenario in Flexbox? I'm working on a application that needs to handle this. Has anyone else encountered this? My development environment is Debian. Could someone point me to the right documentation? The stack includes Css and several other technologies.
