How to use jQuery Masonry with elements of different width?

I am implementing the jQuery Masonry plugin, but I have problems with elements wider than one column, meaning that the div width of all Masonry elements is not identical. Could anybody help me with this?

If you know a minimum column width, just set that in your columnWidth and it will work. In my case that was 396. I had a column with double that width as well.

$('.container').masonry({
  columnWidth: 396,
  itemSelector: '.item'

});

If you don't set a column width parameter when you set up masonry (i.e. $('#container').masonry({columnWidth:100})), then masonry defaults to the first brick's width. In your example, the 1st block is 300 pixels wide, so the minimum width a block will cover is 300 pixels, even tho its width is set to 100 pixels.

A good column width number would be the minimum of the possible widths can be (like in your example, where they are all a multiple of 100px), or the greatest common divisor (for example, if bricks are 100, 150 and 200 pixels wide, 50 would be a good number to use for columnWidth).

After a half day of trying different settings, trying to find out why my masonry plugin is not working, i read these post, i got the idea... i had to use the minimum common denominator of all my widths. But i had widths like 346, 278, 199... so i wondered, without any headache any of those widths is dividable by 1, so i tried... and magic happened, everything fell perfectly on into place.

So the simplest way to get it working, use 1 as columnWidth

because of a margin: 10px; in your all item div's. so you should set a columnWidth : 120 

$(function(){    
    $('#container').masonry({
        columnWidth : 120 
    });
});

You need to specify a columnWidth to let the masonry know how many column you want:

$('#container').masonry(
  {
     columnWidth : 100
  });
