how do I fix it when one of my grid items is not resizing at all?
You can try the following steps:
fr.min-width, max-width, min-height, max-height, or flex-basis that could be blocking its ability to resize. Remove or adjust these properties to allow the item to resize as intended.If the issue persists, it may be helpful to share your code or a code snippet for further assistance!
Here is some sample code in CSS that creates a 2x2 grid with four grid items where the first item is not resizing due to a max-width property:
css Copy code
.grid-container {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
grid-template-rows: auto auto;
grid-gap: 10px;
}
.grid-item {
background-color: lightblue;
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.grid-item-1 {
max-width: 100px; /* This property is blocking the item's resizing */
}
You can fix it by changing the max-width property to a more flexible value like 50%:
css Copy code
.grid-item-1 {
max-width: 50%;
}
when is best practice to use ems rems and px
When deciding between using em, rem, or px for sizing, it's best to consider the needs of your design and accessibility.
px when you need fixed-size elements that won't change, such as for borders or shadows.rem for font sizes to make it more accessible to users who have changed their browser's default font size. rem is relative to the root font size or default font size of the browser.em when you need to set a size relative to its parent, such as for a button that needs to grow or shrink within its container. em is relative to its parent element's font size. It's important to keep in mind that using relative units like em and rem ensures that your design remains consistent and adaptable to different screen sizes and user preferences.

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. 👩💻🤝💻
