I’m trying to create a layout where blue and white rectangles take the full width of the screen while keeping a padding inside the container. Here is my HTML and CSS code:
The problem is that the .item elements are not taking the full width of the container because of the padding. How can I make these items take the full width of the screen while keeping the container’s padding?
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.container {
background-color: red;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: 0 20px;
}
.item {
width: 100%;
height: 20%;
}
.item:nth-child(odd) {
background-color: blue;
}
.item:nth-child(even) {
background-color: white;
}<div class="container">
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
</div>
