Equal height different aspect ratio boxes with CSS grid



I'm trying to create layout like this:



enter image description here



Is there a way to create such layout via CSS grid? I know that I can wrap orange items in a separate column element, but I'd like to avoid this. I also managed to create this layout when aspect ratio of each item is square, but no luck with this one...



Example on jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/fq974gov/




.grid
display: grid;
grid-gap: 10px;
width: 200px;

.item-left
background: lightblue;
padding-bottom: 120%;

.item-right
background: tomato;
padding-bottom: 60%;


<div class="grid">
<div class="item-left"></div>
<div class="item-right"></div>
<div class="item-right"></div>
<div class="item-right"></div>
</div>

You can define template areas and control the ratio using grid-template-columns


grid-template-columns




.grid
display: grid;
grid-template-areas:
"l1 r1"
"l1 r2"
"l1 r3";
grid-template-columns:3fr 2fr; /*adjust this as you like*/
grid-gap: 10px;
width: 200px;
animation:change 2s infinite alternate linear;

.item-left
grid-area:l1;
background: lightblue;
/*padding-bottom: 120%; no more needed*/

.item-right
background: tomato;
padding-bottom: 60%;

.item-right:nth-child(2)
grid-area:r1;

.item-right:nth-child(3)
grid-area:r2;

.item-right:nth-child(4)
grid-area:r3;


@keyframes change
towidth:300px;


<div class="grid">
<div class="item-left"></div>
<div class="item-right"></div>
<div class="item-right"></div>
<div class="item-right"></div>
</div>



The code can be simplified like this:




.grid
display: grid;
grid-template-areas:
"l r"
"l r"
"l r";
grid-template-columns:3fr 2fr; /*adjust this as you like*/
grid-gap: 10px;
width: 200px;
animation:change 2s infinite alternate linear;

.item-left
grid-area:l;
background: lightblue;

.item-right
background: tomato;
padding-bottom: 60%;

@keyframes change
towidth:300px;


<div class="grid">
<div class="item-left"></div>
<div class="item-right"></div>
<div class="item-right"></div>
<div class="item-right"></div>
</div>





This seems to ruin aspect ratio of blue box. Your code makes it equal to width of orange boxes, which is not the case.

thanks, it helped, I tried removing :nth-child styles that you added, and didn't see any difference. What are they for? Does this mean that grid-template-areas can be avoided?

@Marvin3 in this particular case yes you can remove the nth-child since the element are the same and they will by default take the right areas, but grid-template-areas is needed here

This is working code for it.
Check it out on JSFiddle


<html>
<head>
<title>Grid View</title>
</head>

<style>
.grid
display: grid;
grid-gap: 10px;
width: 500px;
grid-template-areas:
"a a b b"
"a a c c"
"a a d d"
;

.item-left
background: lightblue;
padding-bottom: 120%;
grid-area: a;

.item-right
background: tomato;
padding-bottom: 40%;

#grid_b
grid-area: b;


#grid_c
grid-area: c;


#grid_d
grid-area: d;

</style>

<body>

<div class="grid">
<div id="grid_a" class="item-left"></div>
<div id="grid_b" class="item-right"></div>
<div id="grid_c" class="item-right"></div>
<div id="grid_d" class="item-right"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>



At first, I suggest you to read more about grid layout. This link may help you.
And let's solve your problem. Every div item in your case is a grid item. So you should give them different styles. At first You should set grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows for container. After that for items, you should set grid-column-start, grid-column-end, grid-row-start, grid-row-end. Look at the above link about grid layout and try to solve it, This is my solution that may help you.

grid-template-columns


grid-template-rows


grid-column-start


grid-column-end

</div>
<div class="item-right row1">
