πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.98 seconds

A pseudo-element in CSS is used to style content that is not part of the document tree, but generated by the browser in the document tree. Common pseudo-elements include ::before and ::after, which allow you to add content before and/or after an element's content. For example, you could use the ::before pseudo-element to add an icon before a link. To learn more about pseudo-elements, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Pseudo-elements.

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.03 seconds

<span> is an HTML tag that is used to group inline-elements and apply styles to them. It has no other semantic meaning and does not affect the document layout. For example, you can enclose a word in a <span> element and apply a style to it to make the word bold, change its color etc. Here is an example:

html
Copy code
<span style="color:red; font-weight: bold;">This text is in red and bold.</span>

Underlines on links can be enabled or disabled by CSS styles. Depending on the browser, the exact command used may vary, but a typical command to enable the underline is text-decoration: underline. You can add or remove this in the CSS stylesheet or style tag of the webpage.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» Technical question

why is an html element hiding after adding JS code

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.29 seconds

This can happen when the JS code is manipulating the style of the HTML element, causing it to not be visible. If you have an inline style, it could be getting overridden with display: none, which would make the element invisible. Check the style of the element in the developer tools to get an idea of what is causing the issue, and investigate the JS code to find why it's overriding the styles.

how to make columns in html

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 12.57 seconds

In HTML, you can create columns using the <div> element, setting the widths of each column with the style attribute and the width property. Additionally, you can use the display property and specify a value of flex, inline-flex, or grid. Here is an example of creating two columns with the flex display property:

html
Copy code
<div style="display: flex;"> <div style="flex: 1;"> First column content goes here </div> <div style="flex: 1;"> Second column content goes here </div> </div>

Additionally, if you are looking for a more accessible and semantic approach to creating columns, you can use <table>, <thead>, and <tbody> elements with the colspan attribute. For more information on creating tables in HTML, you can read this article from w3schools.

Asked 2 years ago in CSS by Senam

When do you use an id instead of a class attribute

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 9 seconds

Typically, there are two criteria for when to use an id attribute instead of a class attribute.

  1. When the element appears only once on the page: An id attribute should be used when an element only appears once on the page. This makes it easier to refer to the element when writing CSS or JavaScript code.

  2. When the element requires a unique style: If your page includes multiple elements that have a similar style but require some subtle differences (for example, different font size, color, etc.), you can use an id to apply a unique style to the element.

For more detailed information about when to use an id attribute instead of a class attribute, check out this guide from w3schools: https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_id_class.asp

what are css attributes

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.03 seconds

CSS attributes are features that define the style and behavior of HTML elements. Attributes can be applied to nearly any HTML tag and tell the browser how to display the element, such as font color, background color, size, position and many more.

For example, you could set the font-size of a heading element to be 32px like this:

css
Copy code
h1 { font-size: 32px; }

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» Technical question

Asked 2 years ago in CSS by Litzi

How do I add a style to the Li, without interfering with h1?

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 20.88 seconds

To add a style to a <li> element without interfering with the styling of an <h1> element, you can use the div selector. With the div selector, you can specify what styling to apply to the <li> elements without conflicting with the <h1>.

For example in CSS, you can use the following code:

css
Copy code
div .list-item { color: #ff0000; }

This will add styling to any <li> elements that are a child of a <div>. Here, color: #ff0000; makes all the text in the <li> element red.

More information about the div selector can be found in this guide.

How to add borders to my images?

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 12.82 seconds

You can use the CSS border property to add a border to images. The border property takes the following syntax:

css
Copy code
img { border: <width> <style> <color>; }

The width value determines the thickness of the border. Common values are 1px or 2px.

The style value determines the type of border. Common values are solid, dotted, dashed or double.

The color value determines the color of the border. This can be a hexadecimal color code, an RGB color code or one of the standard colors (e.g. black).

For more information on the border property, refer to the Mozilla Developer Network Web Documentation.

Example:

css
Copy code
img { border: 2px dashed orange; }

How to apply pointer during transition in css

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 7.97 seconds

The transition property in CSS is used to animate changes from one CSS style to another. The transition-property specifies what property is being transitioned, such as width, height, opacity, etc. To apply a pointer during the transition, you can include the transition-timing-function: pointer attribute in the transition property. For example:

css
Copy code
div { width: 100px; transition: width 0.5s linear, transition-timing-function: pointer; } div:hover { width: 500px; }

In this example, the transition property indicates that when the div element is hovered on, the width of the element will transition from 100px to 500px in 0.5 second, with a linear pointer.

Reference: MDN docs - transition

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. πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»πŸ€πŸ’»
