CSS/Tailwind: Why does justify-between send element to bottom instead of content-between?-CodePudding

community,

I have a quick question. I am using the current version of Tailwind CSS.

My goal was to send the button (corpus delicti) to the bottom of the parent div. I was using content-between the whole time but that didn't work. So I tried just for fun justify-between and the button element was sent to the bottom of the parent div. I don't get it. Why is that?

In CSS docs it is stated that "

...The CSS justify-content property defines how the browser distributes space between and around content items along the main-axis of a flex container [...]."

Here is the CSS code:

<div >


    <div id="parent-div" >

      <div >
        <h1 >foo</h1>
        <p >bar</p>
        <p >hoo</p>
      </div>

      <div >
        <button >corpus delicti</button>
      </div>

    </div>
    
    <div >      
      <img  src="../static/pics/gif.gif">
    </div>


</div>

Would be very glad to get an answer, since that behavior totally destroys my very hard-earned trust in CSS.

THX in advance!

Get rid of flex-col on #parent-div and use h-fit (height: fit-content;) on your button.

See here

<div >


  <div id="parent-div" >

    <div >
      <h1 >foo</h1>
      <p >bar</p>
      <p >hoo</p>
    </div>

    <div >
      <button >corpus delicti</button>
    </div>

  </div>

  <div >
    <img  src="../static/pics/gif.gif">
  </div>


</div>
