Is it possible to set the width of an element based on the height of the parent element? How to do this?
0
I'm researching a few things about CSS and I had that doubt. I searched about it in other posts on the web, but i don't find yet.
If i have some img with height equals 80% of its parent div (its width will also be the same), how can i set the input's width to fill in the remaining space.
The code snippet might look like the one below:
.forms {
display: block;
width: 70%;
height: 36px; /*This height change for different devices*/
padding: 2px;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
border-radius: 4px;
outline: 0;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 30px;
}
#inputSearch {
position: relative;
width: 80%;
display: inline-block;
border: 0;
outline: 0;
}
#imgSearch {
position: relative;
float: right;
height: 80%;
top: 10%;
right: 6px;
}<div id="parent" class="forms">
<input id="inputSearch" type="text">
<img id="imgSearch" src="https://www.freeiconspng.com/uploads/search-icon-png-21.png">
</div>In my case, i can not change the parent div attributes, like display, because i am using a project pattern. There are other elements next to parent div. Hence, i want to change only the children attributes.
I would appreciate if someone guide me about that.

Can you give an example on CodePen or something as to what your current situation is and what you are looking for specifically with a screenshot or different image. Because recreating this on CodePen as is doesn't really give me any insight as to what the problem is.

I’d simply position the image absolute, and have the input field go over the full width underneath it, with an appropriate padding-right so that the input field content does not go under the image …
– misorude
Nov 22 '18 at 15:08
@misorude Yeah, I did this earlier, but I still can not specify the size of this padding-right. I need to use the width of the image (or height of the parent div) as a parameter shape.

This could be a possible solution if i understood right the problem.
Try this using flex properties :
#parent{
display : flex;
//optional alignment
align-items: center;
}
#inputSearch{
flex-grow: 1;
}
#imgSearch{
width: 80%;
height: 80%;
}

I cant change the parent's atributtes because i am using a project pattern. Therefore, i need to keep the parent's display as block. There are other elements next the parent div, i only can change the children atributtes. Even so, thank you for help!
