    You'd just apply it to the container holding the image, or the top level container that is defining the width. (Hard to be more specific.)

    "display: table-cell" just makes the container behave like an 'old style' <td></td> meaning it infers more from what's INSIDE it than what IT (the container) inside.

    (Yea, you might need to read that several times :) )

    Hi Leslie,

    Generally, the recommendation is to follow the BEM structure mentioned in the documentation and use the "t-" prefix for your styles so you, and any other developer you have work on the site, know that this is something theme specific.

    Matt, does using "display: table-cell" work with this framework? (Sounds like that's the behavior type she is looking for.)

    Hi Bruce,

    No reason it shouldn't work.

    In those cases, I would recommend creating your own entity within the column and customize the code.
    It's kind of cool to be able to do that.

    Matt - is it possible to make the column the size of the image without making it a fixed width? Or should I just make my own custom wide (with the flex-basis calc)?

    You will have to use the u-width utility classes, the grid classes only make equal width columns.
    Thanks, I was just going to come back and answer my own question with that I did. I removed the u-grids-1 u-grids-3--m from the section and added u-width-12 u-width-4--m to the figure. I'm working on finding the best "breakpoints" for the various screen sizes.

    More fun with columns - 1/3 and 2/3

    I understand how the u-grids-3 (with its different iterations) will create 3 equal columns with its confines. How do I create a 1/3 column followed by a 2/3rds column?
Working...
