flex-grow: 1; does not work

flex-grow: 1 doesn't make the column width equal.

Here is my code:

.main-header, .main-nav, .row { display: flex;

}

.main-header { flex-direction: column; align-items: center;
}

.col { flex-grow: 1; }

It would if the direction was "row" (the default).

:point_right: But since you have the direction set to "column", it makes the rows all the same height.

Also, what does your HTML look like (you forgot to share that part)?

Thanks! Anyway, the problem was I have to set flex-basis to 0 or some other positive number. Flex-grow doesn't work if flex-basis is set to "auto".
