CSS layout breaking on mobile devices, elements overlapping
Code Snippet:
.container { display: flex; width: 1200px; }The primary issue is the use of a fixed width (1200px) on the '.container' element. On mobile devices with smaller viewports, this fixed width forces the container to overflow its parent, leading to horizontal scrolling and elements overlapping or being cut off, as the content cannot adapt to the available screen space.
To resolve the responsiveness issue, the fixed width should be replaced with a flexible alternative. Using 'max-width' allows the container to grow up to a certain point but shrink proportionally on smaller screens. Additionally, 'width: 100%' can ensure it always takes up the full available width within its parent, up to the 'max-width'. Consider adding 'flex-wrap: wrap;' to the flex container if its children are also fixed-width or need to stack on smaller screens.
