Div Size Automatically size of content

Viewed 214350

I am trying to make a h2 header for sidebar widgets but I want the width of the div class to be whatever width the content becomes. It seems I can't just set a width because those headlines with longer content then shorter content makes it break.

How can I simply make width stretch/change depending on the length of content there is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are coming here, there is high chance width: min-content or width: max-content can fix your problem. This can force an element to use the smallest or largest space the browser could choose…

This is the modern solution. Here is a small tutorial for that.

There is also fit-content, which often works like min-content, but is more flexible. (But also has worse browser support.)

This is a quite new feature and some browsers do not support it yet, but browser support is growing. See the current browser status here.

The easiest is:

width: fit-content;

I faced the same issue and I resolved it by using: max-width: fit-content;
