A question about "Create Flexible Layouts Using auto-fill"

Tell us what’s happening:
According to the tests, I’m fine. However, I thought that the grid was supposed to keep making new 60px boxes when I stretched. It doesn’t. Can somebody please explain this to me?

Your code so far


<style>
  .item1{background:LightSkyBlue;}
  .item2{background:LightSalmon;}
  .item3{background:PaleTurquoise;}
  .item4{background:LightPink;}
  .item5{background:PaleGreen;}
  
  .container {
    font-size: 40px;
    min-height: 100px;
    width: 100%;
    background: LightGray;
    display: grid;
    /* change the code below this line */
    
    grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(60px, 1fr));
    
    /* change the code above this line */
    grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
    grid-gap: 10px;
  }
  
  .container2 {
    font-size: 40px;
    min-height: 100px;
    width: 100%;
    background: Silver;
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(3, minmax(60px, 1fr));
    grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
    grid-gap: 10px;
  }
</style>
<div class="container">
  <div class="item1">1</div>
  <div class="item2">2</div>
  <div class="item3">3</div>
  <div class="item4">4</div>
  <div class="item5">5</div>
</div>
<div class="container2">
  <div class="item1">1</div>
  <div class="item2">2</div>
  <div class="item3">3</div>
  <div class="item4">4</div>
  <div class="item5">5</div>
</div>

The first grid does that. It tries to make as many columns that are at least 60px wide as it can.

In that case, they are blank, right? Like the columns do not contain any visible content.

Yes. The columns don’t necessarily have to contain anything.
