Description:
Defines how flexible boxes are laid out along the axis perpendicular to the axis of orientation
(see box-orient ) . The default, stretch , means that the children of the box are stretched to
its height (if its box-orient is horizontal ) or its width (if its box-orient is vertical ).
start and end refer to the top and bottom edges of horizontal boxes, and most likely the left
and right edges of vertical boxes in left-to-right languages (though this is not specified). cen-
ter aligns the center of the flexible boxes with the centerline of the axis of orientation.
Examples:
div#layout {box-align: stretch;}
.icicle {box-align: start;}
Note:
This property is from the 2009 version of the Flexible Box specification. It is expected to be
deprecated by a new version of the specification, and potentially retired from browsers some
time after.
