CSS grid-row

The grid-row property sets the start and end row of a grid item.

This setting allows an item to stretch over multiple rows.

The value is either a row number, or the number of rows the item spans.

Example

#

Item 3 has grid-row set to 2 / span 3.
It starts on row 2 and covers 3 rows.

  }

  .grid-container > div {
    background-color: aliceblue;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 15px 5px;
    font-size: 18px;
  }
</style>
