's width in html

Question

I have an issue with the width of a fieldset. It's not auto adjusting to it's content. It sets the width to the width of the screen. Is there a way to set it to auto adjust to the width of the content of the fieldset?

The solution didn't work for me. I had to set `fieldset{ min-width: auto; }` as fieldset uses min-width as -webkit-min-content, as mentioned in the following post - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27660423/fieldset-width-100-of-parent. — Naren, Feb 16 '18 at 10:24

A fieldset is as large as the parent container, just like any block-level element, if you do not give it a fixed width. So you have to make it display: inline-block.

It was the width of the page for me. It couldn't have cared less about the parent. – Suncat2000 May 29 '23 at 19:34

    </fieldset>

Sett the width to 0
Hml:

<fieldset class="field">

Css:

}
