Why Aren't Flex and Flex-Grow Working on My Input and Button Elements?

Flex and Flex-Grow Not Taking Effect on Input and Button Elements

In Flexbox, elements within a container can be sized and positioned using the flex and flex-grow properties. However, these properties may not seem to work as expected when applied to input and button elements.

Reason:

Unlike DIVs, input and button elements have default width and height settings that override the Flexbox properties.

Illustration:

[Image showing the browser-assigned default width to input elements]

As seen in the image, the browser automatically sets a width for the input element, even without any CSS styling applied.

Solution:

To allow Flexbox to control the sizing of input and button elements, one needs to remove the default width and height settings:

input, button {
  width: auto;
  height: auto;
}

Once these default settings are removed, the flex and flex-grow properties should take effect as expected.
