Target the width of 3rd+ level items:

.tree li li li a {
    width: auto;
}

in addition, Target only 1st level anchors:

.tree > ul > li > a {
    width: auto;
}

Target only 2nd level anchors:

.tree > ul > li > ul > li > a {
    width: auto;
}

etc.

    (HTML and CSS code is provided in the bottom of the post)

    I am making a web application using Bootstrap 3.0.2, which is helping me make most of it responsive.

    I wanted to add a org chart, to display a hierarchy of elements, so I found some code using unordered lists to display this. My problem though, beging a beginner programmer, is to make the org chart go along with my goal of making the website look good in most screen sizes.

    As you can see from the following picture, the problem is that when a list item at the 2nd level gets too many children (at 3rd level), it becomes too wide and pushes its siblings down to the next row. This way the borders (which are made using pseudo elements ::before and ::after) wont display properly.

    enter image description here

    enter image description here

    I suspect the solution might involve readjusting the size of each element (-tag) in the 3rd level and down, once the screen size gets too small. The problem is I dont know to target only the 3rd level -tags, as I want the top level elements to stay the same size. Also just want general tips / suggestions to approaches I can try. I am open to change all of it up, or use any already existing responsive org chart free for commercial use. Maybe there is even a solution where I can incorporate som bootstrap elements into the org chart to meet my requirements?

    Appreciate any time and effort. Even just some hints to nudge me in the right direction would help a lot!
