How do html classes work?
Classes in HTML are used to identify specific elements and are defined by the class attribute. Class values are typically used to apply particular styles to the element or to enable particular behaviour, such as JavaScript functions. They can be used on any HTML tag. For example:
html Copy code
<div class="example">This div has a class name of "example"</div>
what are classes in javascript
A class in JavaScript is a type of object that provides the ability to group properties, methods and functions together into a larger structure. A class can be used to create many instances of the same type of object, and each instance can maintain its own set of data. Classes in JavaScript are defined using the class
keyword and can include constructors, static methods and prototype methods.
Example:
js Copy code
class Person {
constructor(name, age) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}
sayHello() {
console.log(`Hello, my name is ${this.name} and I am ${this.age}`);
}
}
const person1 = new Person('John', '21');
person1.sayHello(); //prints 'Hello, my name is John and I am 21'

Difference between div and span when using classes
The div
and span
elements are both used to define sections in an HTML document, but they differ in usage. The div
element is used to group and structure content, while the span
element is used to apply styling and layout to individual sections without defining a new structure. One of the most important differences is that classes can be used with div
and span
elements to create reusable sections that can be styled using CSS.
For example, a class called "container" could be used to center the HTML content of a page in a div
element. This could be accomplished by adding the class name to the header:
html Copy code
<div class="container">
<!-- Content goes here -->
</div>
Alternatively, if you only wanted a selected part of your page to be styled or laid out, you could do that in a span
element with a class name:
html Copy code
<span class="myClass">
<!-- Content goes here -->
</span>
The class name could then be used with CSS to control the styling or layout of the content.
More information can be found in this article on difference between div
and span
elements.
can you add multiple classes to a html element
Yes, you can add multiple classes to a HTML element by separating them with spaces. For example:
html Copy code
<p class="class1 class2 class3">My paragraph</p>
how hover on a text?
Using CSS you can create an effect that makes text appear to be "hovering" on the screen. To do this, you need to create two separate classes, one for when the mouse is hovering over the text (for example, when the mouse is hovering over a link on a page) and one for when the mouse is not hovering over the text. To create the hover effect, you set different values on the text-decoration
property between the two classes.
An example of using the :hover
effect to underline text is provided here:
css Copy code
.text {
text-decoration: none;
}
.text:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}
How to create a grid using bootstrap?
You can create a basic grid system in Bootstrap by building on the default <div class="row">
and <div class="col-*-*">
classes. Specifically, you can use the .col-
class on a specified number of elements and Bootstrap will recognize how many elements there are and it will distribute the widths accordingly.
For example, if you want to create a 3x3 grid you can use the following code:
html Copy code
<div class="row">
<div class="col-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-4">Content</div>
</div>
For additional information, feel free to check out the Bootstrap documentation on Grids.
how can i make columns narrower in bootstrap?
In Bootstrap 4, column width can be adjusted using the classes col-*
or col-lg-*
for wider columns and col-sm-*
for narrower columns.
For example, setting col-sm-4
gives a column width of 33.3333% for extra small devices, and setting col-4
gives a column width of 25% for all device sizes. You can also use fractional numbers (for example, col-6.5
).
You can combine these classes to give different column widths per device size, as shown below.
html Copy code
<div class = "row">
<div class = "col-12 col-lg-6 col-md-8"> Column 1</div>
<div class = "col-12 col-lg-6 col-md-4"> Column 2 </div>
</div>
In the example above, Column 1 will be 100% width for extra small devices, 50% width for large devices, and 62.5% width for medium devices, while Column 2 will be 100% width for extra small and medium devices, and 50% for large devices.
For more information, see the docs on the Bootstrap 4 grid system.

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. ๐คฏ
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 ๐
You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! ๐ 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! ๐๐ช
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! ๐
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! ๐
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. ๐ฉโ๐ป๐ค๐ป
