👩‍💻 Technical question

what does @media mean?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 6.35 seconds

@media is a CSS @-rule used for defining different styles for different media types/devices. It enables the author to use tailor-made styles for different media, such as screen or print.

An example from MDN:

css
Copy code
@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) { body { background-color: lightblue; } }

In the above example, the background-color of the body will be set to lightblue only when the displaying device's maximum width is 600px or less.

how to extract css and put it into its on file?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 9.91 seconds

Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you can extract the CSS from your HTML and put it in a separate file. To do this, first copy the CSS styling from your HTML syntax:

html
Copy code
<style> p { color : red; font-size : 14px; } </style>

Then, create a separate .css file, and paste in the CSS styling above:

css
Copy code
p { color : red; font-size : 14px; }

Finally, link the .css file to your HTML by adding the following code to the <head> tag:

html
Copy code
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">

👩‍💻 Technical question

Please can you explain media queries

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 8.4 seconds

Media queries are a feature of Cascading Style Sheets that allow content to be adapted to different viewport sizes. Media queries make it possible to specify different styles for different media types or media features. For example, a media query could be used to apply a different style when the viewport is narrower than a certain width, such as when the device is a mobile device. An example of media query usage in CSS might be as follows:

@media (max-width: 600px) { body { background-color: lightblue; } }

Here, the background will be set to light blue when the viewport width is 600px or less.

i am trying to inspect my work to over ride it but i dont get the inspect option on my own work. I am aslo having trouble with lining my text horisantly

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 7.15 seconds

It sounds like you're having trouble with CSS styling. You may need to use developer tools to inspect and override your work. To use inspector tools, right click in the webpage and select "Inspect" or press the hotkey (Ctrl + Shift +I on Windows, Cmd+Option+I on Mac). To align your text horizontally, you can use text-align: left; or text-align: right; in your CSS. Here's an example:

css
Copy code
p { text-align: left; }

The input element of type file can have the style attribute applied to it, which can be used to define CSS styling rules. An example is:

This applies a border and some styling to the input element. Learn more about styling the input element here: MDN - Styling Form Inputs.

👩‍💻 Technical question

How can I add font-family on HTML?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 20.54 seconds

You can add a font-family to HTML by adding <style> tags in the <head> of your HTML document, adding the font-family property to it. For example:

html
Copy code
<head> <style> body { font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; } </style> </head>

This will set the font-family of the body of the HTML document to "Times New Roman," a serif type font.

The best way to make a text paraghragh tidy in HTML is to use CSS. You can add the style attribute and define the desired style (e.g. font, size, color), or you can add classes/IDs to the paraghragh and define their styling in an external stylesheet. For example:

.paragraph { font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; color: grey; }

Then use it in your HTML like so:

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 6.45 seconds

You can use the display:inline-block; CSS property on an element to define the element's display type. To assign it to an element, you can place it inline in the element's style attribute, like this:

html
Copy code
<div style="display:inline-block;">My element</div>

Or you can assign it to the element using a separate stylesheet, like this:

css
Copy code
div { display:inline-block; }

Why bootstrap doesn't resize my images to fit them in a row

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.88 seconds

Bootstrap may not be resizing your images to fit them in a row due to the CSS style attached to them. To resize the images to fit a specific area, try updating the styling with max-width.

Add a CSS style to the img tag with max-width set to the desired width to scale the images down:

css
Copy code
img { max-width: 200px; height: auto; }

Asked 2 years ago in CSS by Jenny

how do I style an element with multiple classes in CSS

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 10.56 seconds

You can use the CSS class selector to style an element with multiple classes. The class selector is denoted by a period . followed by the class name.

For example, given the following HTML:

code
Copy code
<div class="block red color-1"> </div>

You can use CSS to style the element like this:

css
Copy code
.block { background-color: yellow; } .red { color: red; } .color-1 { color: blue; }

This would render the HTML element with a yellow background, red text and blue text (overriding the style set by the red class).

how to determine which rule is overriding applied style

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.49 seconds

To determine which rule is overriding applied style, you need to find the “specificity” of the rules applied. The more “specific” of a rule is, the more likely to override another rule. CSS works by cascading a set of rules and the last rule that is set is what gets applied. To help determine the specificity of a rule, you can use a calculator such as Specificity Calculator to see which rule is more specific and overrides any style setting.

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. 👩‍💻🤝💻
