I'm trying to understand the CSS grid layout and I love every bit of it so far! However, I can't seem to get the code blow to work.
When the nav sidebar fills the whole width, I want the paragraph to the right to break down beneath the navigation. I know how I'd do it with flexbox and media queries (flex-direction: row vs column) but I don't really get how one does it with CSS grid. Can you help me?
.container {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(250px, 1fr));
grid-gap: 10px;
}
/* Navigation */
.legal-navi {
grid-column: 1;
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
}
.legal-navi li {
width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
/* border */
border: black solid;
border-width: 1px 0 0 0;
}
.legal-navi li a {
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: 20px;
display: block;
}
.legal-navi li:last-child {
border-width: 1px 0 1px 0;
}
/* content */
.legal-content {
grid-column: 2 / -1;
}<div class="container">
<ul class="legal-navi">

</div>You explicitely defined the grid-column to be 2 so this won't happen. By the way, such task isn't suitable with CSS grid if you don't want to use media query.
You can do it with flexbox and without media query like below:
.container {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.legal-navi {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
width: 250px;
max-width: 100%;
flex-grow: 1;
}
.legal-content {
width: calc(100% - 250px);
min-width: 250px;
flex-grow: 1;
padding-left: 10px;
}
/**/
.legal-navi li {
width: 100%;
border: black solid;
border-width: 1px 0 0 0;
}
.legal-navi li a {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: 20px;
display: block;
}
.legal-navi li:last-child {
border-width: 1px 0 1px 0;
}
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}<div class="container">
<ul class="legal-navi">

<a href="lorem">Lorem</a>
