Description

The justify-self property aligns the grid layout element inside the cell along the line axis of the grid-container. In order to align the grid layout element inside the cell along the axis of the grid-column column, you can use the align-self property. The justify-self property overrides the alignment value set for the grid container with the justify-items property of a particular element. Currently, if the element is not a layout grid element (not located inside the parent element, which is a block element or a lower-case grid container), then the justify-self property will not have any effect on such an element.

Initial value: auto
Applies to: Block-level boxes, absolutely-positioned boxes, and grid items
