SVG img breaking out of containing DIV?

Hi everyone,

Below is some code im using and I have a DIV wrapping a IMG tag which is holding a SVG,

When I followed the course on SVG with Nick we scaled the SVG using its containing DIV,

As I have tried to do so my SVG breaks out of its container is there and error in my code i cannot seee??

<div class="logo-img"><!-- Wraps the DigiMouse Logo Image -->               
    <img src="img/logo-testsvg.svg" alt="digiouse logo" id="main-logo">               
</div><!-- **END Logo Image Wrap -->

.logo-img {
  margin-top: 1.2%;
  width: 80%;
  height: auto;
}

I am using flex box as my layout and am aware there is a few little bugs with percentage based widths and heights but am not sure if this is that actual situation..

any advice is much appreciated!

Craig

Is it breaking horizontally or vertically?

Have you tried setting the img to display: block; or width: 100%;?

Hi Sean,

The SVG was breaking horizontally, to correct the issue I had to as you suggested make the img width 100% and the containing div my desired width.

Surprising how simple the solutions normally are .....

Thanks for the help!
