    <h2>Problem</h2> <p>I have "boxes" that float left so that I can display them in a line until they need to wrap. This works well, but my coloured background doesn't shrink to the minimum, it expands to the maximum.</p> <h2>JSFiddle</h2> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/RLRh6/" rel="noreferrer">http://jsfiddle.net/RLRh6/</a></p> <p>(Expand and shrink the <em>Result</em> section to see the effect)</p> <p><strong>HTML</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="container"&gt; &lt;div class="boxes"&gt; &lt;div class="box"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="box"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="box"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="box"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="box"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>CSS</strong></p> <pre><code>.container { background: #fcc; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 300px; } .boxes { background: #cfc; overflow: hidden; } .box { border: 1px dashed blue; width: 70px; height: 50px; float: left; margin: 2px; } </code></pre> <h2>What I Get</h2> <p>Note the extra green colour, right of the boxes:</p> <p><strong>Example 1</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/dqKHZ.png" alt="Example 1"></p> <p><strong>Example 2</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/vjhjn.png" alt="Example 2"></p> <h2>What I Want</h2> <p><strong>Example 1</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/kzGCf.png" alt="Example 1"></p> <p><strong>Example 2</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/nMoOd.png" alt="Example 2"></p> <h2>Question</h2> <p>Is it possible to have the green-background div ("<strong>.boxes</strong>") shrink to the minimum possible size to display the boxes without Javascript? <em>You should be able to shrink and expand the div freely and not see any green to the right of the boxes</em>.</p>

    2. COAre these widths and max-width going to be fixed, or are you looking for a universal solution? If the former, you could try using media queries and fix the width of `.boxes` depending on how many columns will fit, see: http://jsfiddle.net/RLRh6/8/ However I couldn't find a universal solution that would "shrink-wrap" any number of elements when max-width and/or width of boxes are unknown.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
