CSS div width not working

Question

I have a strange problem.One of my div's width is not working. My CSS is like

.product_info
{
    margin-top:10px;
    background:#444;
    width:850px;

}
.product_image
{
    width:350px;
    text-align:center;
    float:left;
    padding:8px;
    border:1px solid #e9e9e9;
    background:#fff;
}
.product_details
{
    float:left;
    width:400px;
    margin-left:25px;
    font-size:14px;
    font-family:"Helvetica";
    background:#d71414;
}

And My HTML file is

<div class="product_info">
                <div class="product_image">

                </div>

                <div class="product_details">
                    <div class="selection">
                    <form action="{$path_site}{$indeex_file}" method="post">
                    Size
                    {foreach name = feach item = k from = $product_size}
                        <input type="radio" name="size" value="{$k.product_size}" />{$k.product_size}
                    {/foreach}


                    </div>

                    <div class="selection">
                    No. of pieces <input type="text" name="quantity">

                    </div>
                    <div class="prc">
                        <span class="WebRupee">Rs.</span> {$product_info->product_cost}.00
                            </div>

                    <div class="buy_btn"><input type="submit" value="BUY" /></div>
                    </form>
                </div>
            </div>

But as you can see in the attached image my div product_info's width is not 850px, Whats wrong

Answer 1

display: flex on the parent element also changes how width and height work. Disable shrinking/growing by flex: 0 0 auto;, or use min-width and max-width instead.

Width and height basically lose the original meaning and will act as a flex-basis, see geddski: The Difference Between Width and Flex Basis
