Hey Athena! The background color of the website I'm working on disappears at the top and bottom when I scroll up and down. Can you help me with this?
Sure, it sounds like you might be experiencing an issue with the background-attachment property. If this property is set to "fixed" it can cause the background image to remain fixed on the viewport while scrolling, resulting in the issue you described. You can try setting the background-attachment property to "scroll" instead. Here's an example in CSS:
css Copy code
body {
background-image: url("your-image.jpg");
background-attachment: scroll;
}
This will ensure that the background image scrolls along with the rest of the content, instead of staying fixed on the viewport. Let me know if this helps!
👩💻 Thank you! I tried this and it hasn't seemed to help so far. The background is set to a gradient and not an image. Is there another solution you know of?
Oh, I see! In that case, it could be that the gradient isn't tall enough to cover the entire viewport height. You could try setting the min-height property to 100vh on the html and body selectors to ensure that the gradient extends to the full height of the viewport. Here's an example in CSS:
css Copy code
html, body {
min-height: 100vh;
margin: 0;
}
body {
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #color1, #color2);
background-attachment: scroll;
}
This should set the minimum height of the html and body elements to match the viewport height and prevent the background from disappearing. Let me know if this helps!
How do I add a background-image from a local file to the body of my website?
You can use the background-image CSS property to add a background image from a local file to an element (in this case the body):
css Copy code
body {
background-image: url('./my-background-image.jpg');
}
You will also need to set the background-size, background-repeat, background-attachment, background-position and background-origin properties appropriately based on the style you wish to achieve.
For more information, please see MDN Documentation on the background-image CSS property.

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.
SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯
SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?
Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!
SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.
For questions that are not coding-related, write us here 😃
You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! 😊 Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.
Here are some examples:
- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?
- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?
- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]
For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.
In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!
Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪
Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.
- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).
- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.
- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃
Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.
Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍
Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.
So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩💻🤝💻
