Sure, let me help you with that.

To create 3 columns using HTML and CSS, you can use the <div> tag to create 3 separate divisions and apply CSS styles to position them side by side. Here is an example code snippet to achieve that:

html
Copy code
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> .column { float: left; width: 33.33%; padding: 10px; box-sizing: border-box; } .row::after { content: ""; clear: both; display: table; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="row"> <div class="column"> <h2>Column 1</h2> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nullam in enim vel justo convallis luctus a quis nisi.</p> </div> <div class="column"> <h2>Column 2</h2> <p>Phasellus eu purus nibh. Fusce lacinia risus euismod felis tempus pulvinar. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos.</p> </div> <div class="column"> <h2>Column 3</h2> <p>Suspendisse et ligula convallis, hendrerit turpis vitae, placerat nunc. Sed convallis metus varius urna viverra eleifend.</p> </div> </div> </body> </html>

In this example, we wrap our 3 columns in a div container with a class of "row" to group them together. We then create another div with a class of "column" for each of the columns we'd like to create. To position the columns side by side, we set float: left for each column and give them a width of 33.33% to fit evenly in a row. Finally, we add some padding and box-sizing to make sure our columns looks good and are properly spaced.

I hope this helps!

smile face using html css

Here's an example of how you could create a simple smiley face using HTML and CSS:

html
Copy code
<!-- HTML Code --> <div class="smiley-face"> <div class="eyes"></div> <div class="mouth"></div> </div>
css
Copy code
/* CSS Code */ .smiley-face { width: 100px; height: 100px; border-radius: 50%; background-color: yellow; position: relative; } .eyes { position: absolute; top: 25%; left: 20%; width: 15%; height: 15%; border-radius: 50%; background-color: black; } .eyes + .eyes { left: 65%; } .mouth { position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 20%; width: 60%; height: 20%; border-radius: 50%; border-top: 3px solid black; }

The code above creates a div element with the class smiley-face. This div element has two child elements, which are also div elements: one for the eyes and one for the mouth. The styling for each element is done using CSS.

The smiley-face div has a width and height of 100 pixels, and its border-radius is set to 50% to make it circular. The background color is set to yellow to represent the face's color.

The eyes are created as two div elements with a black background color and border-radius set to 50% to make them circular. They are positioned using the position property and top and left values.

The mouth is created as a div element with a border radius of 50% and a top border of 3 pixels thick to represent a smile. It is positioned in the center of the face using the top and left properties.

By applying the CSS code, the result will be a cute little smiley face with black eyes and smiling mouth.

You can resize an image to fill the upper half of a page using HTML and CSS. To do this, set the height property to 50% and the width property to 100%. Then, add background-size: cover to stretch the image over the entire element without warping or skewing it. Here is an example HTML snippet and associated CSS:

code
Copy code
<div id="container"> </div>
css
Copy code
#container { height: 50%; width: 100%; background-image: url('myImage.jpg'); background-size: cover; }
