Vertical buttons with equal width


It's two vertical arrangement buttons. I need them to be of equal width. I don't know:

  • what size will on wrap;
  • what text will appear on buttons (therefore I can't use pixel width);
  • what width will on buttons.

Buttons must be at left. Text on buttons must be center-aligned. I can't use 100% width cause it will not beauty :)

I can't use flexbox and specify width to buttons. And will be cool a solution on pure CSS.

IE8+

.wrap{
    width: 100%;
    border: 1px solid red;
}

.btn{
    height 40px;
    background-color: tomato;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    display: block;
}
<div class="wrap">
  <button class="btn">small button</button>
  <button class="btn">super long button</button>
</div>


Solution

  • Just make the container inline-block and then the buttons 100% width, that way they will take the width of the largest button:

    .wrap{
        display: inline-block;
        border: 1px solid red;
    }
    
    .btn{
        height 40px;
        background-color: tomato;
        margin-bottom: 10px;
        display: block;
        width:100%;
    }
    <div class="wrap">
      <button class="btn">small button</button>
      <button class="btn">super long button</button>
    </div>
