I am trying to create a paragraph and next to that paragraph are images that are generated randomly from a database table. The main container is called ".container" and this includes every element. .container is set to width: 90%. The paragraph (.header) floats to the left and has a width of 70%. The generated images (.recommend) floats to the right and has a width of 30%. Everything works out fine, but the only problem is that when I set the images to take up the whole space of the .recommend div (width: 100%), but it doesn't do that. Instead, the width of the images are 30%. How do I make the images take up the whole space of the .recommend div?

CSS
.container{
background--color: green;
width: 90%;
height: auto;
}
.header{
background-color: blue;
float: left;
width: 70%;
}
.recommend{
background-color: red;
width: 30%;
float: right;
}
.recommend img{
width: 100%;
}
<div class=col-md-4 id=left>
is using a Bootstrap grid class. And, col-md-4
tells the div to be 4/12 (or 30%) of the width of the parent. Since the parent is .recommend
, then the div is 30%, and the image inside is 100% of THAT (which means it is 30% of the .recommend
div)So, you can either remove the col-md-4
class from the divs, or you can try and resolve it another way.
According to the CSS provided .recommend
div is set to width:30%
All the child elements that have width:100%
(images) will only take up as much space as .recommend
div, which is 30%
