How do I change the size of an image in CSS?
You can use the CSS width and height properties to control the size of an image:
css Copy code
img {
width: 400px;
height: 300px;
}
how to add box shadow grey
To add a box shadow to an element in CSS, use the box-shadow property. You can specify the size, color and offset of the box shadow.
For example, the following will add a grey box shadow of 8px 8px 16px 0px to the element:
css Copy code
box-shadow: 8px 8px 16px 0px #888888;
How to use background in css?
In CSS, the background shorthand property is used to specify a number of background-related properties in one declaration. The background property is a shorthand syntax for setting the individual properties background-image, background-position, background-size, background-repeat, background-origin, background-clip, background-attachment, and background-color simultaneously:
css Copy code
background: image|position|size|repeat|origin|clip|attachment|color|initial|inherit;
For example, to set a background image and color, you can set the background property in this way:
css Copy code
background: url(backgroundImage.png) no-repeat fixed #dddddd;
The following table outlines the values you can use as part of the background shorthand property:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| image | Specifies an image to use as the background. |
| position | Specifies the position for the background image. |
| size | Specifies the size of the background image. |
| repeat | Specifies how to repeat the background image. |
| origin | Specifies the origin of the background-position property. |
| clip | Specifies the painting area of the background image. |
| attachment | Specifies whether to scroll with the content or not. |
| color | Specifies a background color. |
| initial | Sets this property to its default value. |
| inherit | Inherits this property from its parent element. |
For more information, check out the MDN web docs guide on the background shorthand.
what is the difference between PX and EM
The difference between PX and EM is that PX is an absolute unit in CSS and EM is relative. PX is an absolute unit of measurement, meaning it will always be the same size regardless of the size of the viewport, while EM is relative to the font size of the parent element. PX is mainly used for fixed-width items such as font size, padding, and margins, while EM is mainly used for items that can have different measurements, such as headings, images, and text.

css background image too big
If a CSS background image is too big, one way to adjust it is by using the background-size property in the CSS. The background-size property can take two values, cover and contain. cover will scale the background image to be as large as possible so that the background area is completely covered. contain will fit the whole image into the background without distortion, however, this may cause some parts of the background to be left empty.
For example:
css Copy code
.background-image {
background-image: url(image.jpg);
background-size: cover;
}
More information on the background-size property can be found in Mozilla's documentation.

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. 👩💻🤝💻
