Flex does not work on Safari

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 21.2022

This works on “every browser” (…I have tested 🙂 on Mac, PC and Android but not Safari. My intention is to use a minimum of Javascript. Hence I try to use “details/summary”, but this fails on The New Internet Explorer (Safari)

My simple question is if there is a work around that lines the text correct on Safari?

https://jsfiddle.net/z3ko4ra7/

My wild guess is that this fails on Safari.

“`
summary {
display: flex; <—— Does not work on Safari
height: 42px;
width: 200px;
list-style-type: none;
outline: none;
}
“`

according to caniuse.com...

[url=https://caniuse.com/?search=flex][u][b][color=#00f]flex[/color][/b][/u][/url]

...appears to be fully supported.

Yes, but not when using "summary" (on Safari).

@sibertauthorSep 21.2022 — Finally I found a solution.

``<i>
</i>summary span{ &lt;----added &lt;span&gt; tag
display: flex;
height: 42px;
width: 200px;
list-style-type: none; &lt;---added this to make work on other browsers
outline: none;
}<i>
</i>``

@sibertauthorSep 22.2022 — The work around was &lt;span&gt; on Safari, but this makes it harder to position the chevron to the right.

Could this be done in a more logical and simpler way?

Now it looks good direct in Safari, but not in any other browser

``<i>
</i>details &gt; summary &gt; span::after {
content: url(https://go4webdev.org/icn/chevronright.svg);
position: absolute;
margin-left: 170px;
margin-top: 5px;
}<i>
</i>``

@SempervivumSep 22.2022 — I changed the CSS of the `::after</C> to this:
<CODE>`<i>
</i>details &gt; summary &gt; span::after {
content: url(https://go4webdev.org/icn/chevronright.svg);
/* position: absolute;
margin-left: 170px;
margin-top: 5px; */
margin-left: auto;
}<i>
</i>`</CODE>
and it looks fine in Opera. I'm curious if it does the same in Safari.<br/>

I found this usage of <C>margin: auto;` here:

YES! Finally it works on all tested browsers. Thank you!
