I have a grid with 3 rows, 1 column and item of the middle row is a grid itself of 2 columns and 4 rows.
CSS Snippet
.css-grid-container-common-styles{
height:100vh; /*???*/
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 1fr; /* 1column*/
grid-template-rows: auto 15fr 1fr; /* 3 rows. Auto takes height of navigation, remaininign is divided into 2 rows, middle row is 15 times larger than the 3rd row.*/

HTML Snippet
<div class="css-grid-container-common-styles"> <!-- first container -->
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light css-grid-item-nav-div-common-styles"> <!-- goes in 1st for -->
</nav>
<div class="css-grid-item-info-div-common-styles"> <!-- this container item is also a container -->
<div class="css-grid-container-practice-create-div-common-styles"> <!-- this is a container --> </div>
</div>
<div class="css-grid-item-footer-common-styles"> foooter goes here
</div>
Question1 - My issue is align-text and justify-text are not working for the embedded container. I want to center the items of the embedded container but they still appear on the start position. I have used the following rule to center the item (a para) but it doesnt work.
.css-grid-item-practice-para1-div-common-styles{
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
grid-column: 1 / 2;
grid-row: 1 / 2;
}
However, if I add display:flex, it works! why?
.css-grid-item-practice-para1-div-common-styles{
display:flex; /*work if this is added*/
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
grid-column: 1 / 2;
grid-row: 1 / 2;
}
Question 2: The buttons I have added (P1,C1) do not move to center even with display:flex
