How to make an image circle

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 8.41 seconds

In order to make an image into a circle, you will need to use HTML, CSS, and some javascript.

Using HTML, you will need to create a div where the image will be housed:

html
Copy code
<div class="image-container"></div>

Using CSS, you will need to set the border-radius of the div to 50%:

css
Copy code
.image-container { border-radius: 50%; }

Finally, using some javascript, you'll need to set the background image attribute of the div to the image you want to use:

javascript
Copy code
let pathToImage = 'images/profile.png'; document.querySelector('.image-container').style.backgroundImage = `url(${pathToImage})`;

For more information on how to make an image into a circle, please refer to this guide.

How to add border

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 7.46 seconds

Adding a border to HTML elements can be done using the CSS border property. Here is an example:

css
Copy code
div { border: 5px solid black; }

The border property takes the format border: [width] [style] [color]. The width (5px in this example) determines the thickness of the border, the style (solid) determines the type of border (solid, dotted, etc.), and the color (black) determines the color of the border.

For more detailed usage, please refer to this documentation by W3Schools: https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_border.asp.

How to make the image on the page responsive to all dimensions of the page

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.14 seconds

You can make a page image responsive by using CSS and the img tag. By using CSS styling rules such as max-width: 100%, height: auto, or width: auto to the img tag, the image will automatically adjust to fit the page dimensions and stay larger than the actual image size when resizing.

For example:

css
Copy code
img { max-width: 100%; height: auto; }

Asked 2 years ago in HTML by Svitlana

Why do we sometimes use tag <a> to create a button and sometimes we use tag <button>?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.76 seconds

The <a> element is used to link to other webpages while the <button> element is used to trigger a JavaScript action. The <a> tag can be styled to look like a button with CSS and HTML, however, you don't actually have control over how it behaves as a button and there is no guarantee across all browsers that it will consistently look and behave like a button. This is why sometimes it is necessary to use the <button> tag so that you can have more control over how the button looks and behaves.

How do I position a span inside of a div with CSS and HTML?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 7.65 seconds

Firstly, you will need to use div and span tags to begin positioning your element. You can use the CSS position property along with top, bottom, left, and right to assign where the span should be inside of the div.

For example, the code block below should place the span element 20px from the top of the div element and 30px from the left of the div element.

css
Copy code
div { position: relative; } span { position: absolute; top: 20px; left: 30px; }

For further reading on the position property, check out Mozilla MDN's documentation.

How to create a grid using bootstrap?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 10.21 seconds

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>

how can i add a shadow like the ones meterial io use?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.09 seconds

You can use the box-shadow CSS property to add a shadow to an HTML element, like a div. Here is an example:

css
Copy code
div { box-shadow: 10px 5px 3px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.3); }

This will give the div a shadow that is 10px in the x-direction, 5px in the y-direction, has a blur radius of 3px, and has an opacity of 0.3.

More information about the box-shadow property can be found at MDN's web docs.

how do i use box-shadow?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 11.93 seconds

The box-shadow CSS property adds shadows around an element's frame. You can apply multiple shadows to an element by giving a comma-separated list of shadows. To use box-shadow, you specify values for color, x-offset, y-offset, blur, and spread radius.

Syntax:

box-shadow: none | [ , ]*

Examples:

CSS:

css
Copy code
.shadow { box-shadow: 0 10px 20px rgba(0,0,0,0.19), 0 6px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.23); }

HTML:

html
Copy code
<div class="shadow">Box Shadow Example</div>

Asked 2 years ago in HTML by Theodora

my background image didn't show up

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.8 seconds

If you are using HTML and CSS to display a background image, there are a few possible reasons why the image may not appear:

  1. The path to the image is incorrect. Make sure that the path you used in the background-image property is correct and leads to the intended image.

  2. The image is not in a compatible format. HTML and CSS can only display images in some standard formats, such as .jpg, .png, .bmp, and .gif.

  3. The image is corrupt. Try viewing and downloading the image in another browser to make sure that it is not damaged.

  4. The image is being blocked. If the image is being hosted externally, make sure that it is not in a blocked domain.

If you're still having trouble, it may be helpful to share more information about the exact language and code you are using to display the background image.

Why is HTML and CSS not a programming language?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.14 seconds

HTML and CSS are not considered to be programming languages because they lack the ability to manipulate data and logic. HTML is intended for markup and structure for webpages, while CSS is designed for styling and presentation. For example, HTML can be used to define the structure of a webpage, and CSS can be used to add style like colors, fonts, and layout. In comparison, programming languages are used to manipulate data and perform complicated logical operations.

I am adding media queries so that all my content fits in devices that are max-width 390px but at the bottom of the footer there is a tiny gap

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 6.91 seconds

You might need to add some margin or padding to your footer to account for this. For example, you can find the footer element in your HTML and add padding-bottom in your CSS file like this:

css
Copy code
footer { padding-bottom: 10px; }

If you are also adding media queries, you may also need to adjust the margin or padding in the media query so that it is consistent across all devices:

css
Copy code
@media (max-width: 390px) { footer { padding-bottom: 10px; } }

That should be enough to account for the gap at the bottom of the footer. Read more about media queries. Good luck!

how to use font-weight

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 7.53 seconds

In the HTML <span> tag, you can specify font-weight with the style attribute. For example, if you wanted to have your font weight be bold, you would write <span style="font-weight: bold">. If you are using a host of web languages such as HTML with CSS and JavaScript, you can specify font-weight in the style tags that are linked to the page. For example, if you wanted a section of text to be bold you would write something like this:

css
Copy code
.example { font-weight: bold; }

and

html
Copy code
<span class="example">Text to be bold</span>

You can also use certain numerical values if you need a specific font weight. For example, 800 would result in a font weight of 800% or "extra-bold". A list of numerical values for font weights can be found here.
