How to limit the amount of columns in larger viewports with CSS Grid and auto-fill/fit?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I'm starting to work with CSS Grid, I've been reading about the properties to help with responsiveness; so I'm trying to build a small grid with 6 elements; my intention is for them to show as 2 rows on larger devices like this:
And also to show them all stacked on smaller devices,so everything is good regarding the smaller devices, I'm using auto-fill
so it stays responsive, however if I the view the page on a laptop screen or desktop it is able to fill one more column and ends up looking like this:
This is my grid
layout code.
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, 260px);
justify-content: center;
row-gap: 18px;
column-gap: 18px;
Is there a way to keep the responsive behavior but setting a max number of columns as well? Any help is appreciated; If it can only be done with media-queries that's fine, but I'm first trying to look for ways to do it without using those. Also, I kinda made it work as intended by setting a horizontal padding
to the whole grid container to compensate for the size of the additional column; but again, if there's a better way I'm all ears. Thank you!

That andauto-fill
doesn't really mean "responsive". I'm sure there are better options if you can actually demostrate the issue.

How they don't demonstrate the issue? Read again, I said I intend the grid to show the two rows as in the first picture, instead of filling another column and showing them like in the second picture, but thanks anyway

I'm not entirely sure (I'm on mobile), but would:grid-template-columns: repeat(minmax(auto-fill, 3), 260px);
address the issue? In my head - and bear in mind I've not tried this in code yet - it should use3
as three maximum number of columns, andauto-fill
otherwise.

You can't useauto-fill
with a set number of columns...it's not possible nor is it expected behaviour. If you know how many columns you want, just define them.auto-fill
will do exactly that...fill the available space and then wrap.

Use this syntax:
grid-template-columns: 260px 260px 260px;
Or
grid-template-columns: repeat(3,260px);
Instead of this:
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, 260px);
Use media queries to set less columns on smaller screens.
Also if the row and column gap is the same you can use grid-gap.

function though as it looks cleaner to me, as inrepeat(3, 260px)

That and
auto-fill
doesn't really mean "responsive". I'm sure there are better options if you can actually demostrate the issue.– Paulie_D

How they don't demonstrate the issue? Read again, I said I intend the grid to show the two rows as in the first picture, instead of filling another column and showing them like in the second picture, but thanks anyway

I'm not entirely sure (I'm on mobile), but would:
grid-template-columns: repeat(minmax(auto-fill, 3), 260px);
address the issue? In my head - and bear in mind I've not tried this in code yet - it should use3
as three maximum number of columns, andauto-fill
otherwise.– David Thomas

You can't use
auto-fill
with a set number of columns...it's not possible nor is it expected behaviour. If you know how many columns you want, just define them.auto-fill
will do exactly that...fill the available space and then wrap.– Paulie_D

As a trvial solution, you can set a max-width to the grid
