How do I add a video to HTML?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 9.7 seconds

To embed a video into an HTML page, you can use the <video> element. The src attribute is used to provide the location of the video, which must have one of the following formats: .mp4, .ogg, .webm. You can also use the <source> element as a child of the <video> element to specify one or more sources for the video. For example:

html
Copy code
<video width="320" height="240" controls> <source src="/assets/video.mp4" type="video/mp4"> <source src="/assets/video.ogg" type="video/ogg"> <source src="/assets/video.webm" type="video/webm"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video>

For more information, please refer to the W3C HTML documentations.

👩‍💻 Technical question

how to change a class of an HTML element with js selectors?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 10.03 seconds

You can change the class of an HTML element using JavaScript Selectors. To change an element's class, use the classList method. The .toggle() method can be used to add or remove a class from an element:

js
Copy code
document.querySelector("#element").classList.toggle("classname");

This statement will add the specified class to the element if it does not already have the class, or remove it if the element already had the class.

You can also use the .add() and .remove() methods to add or remove a single class from an element, respectively:

js
Copy code
document.querySelector("#element").classList.add("classname"); document.querySelector("#element").classList.remove("classname");

For more information, see MDN's documentation on classList.

Asked 2 years ago in React by Amanda Cristina

How can I change an HTML element text, for example change the content inside an h2, inside React?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 8.11 seconds

You can change an HTML element text inside React using setState(). This can be done by calling the function and then setting the new value for HTML elements like h2 as shown in the example below.

js
Copy code
class App extends React.Component { constructor(props) { super(props); this.state = { text: 'Hello world!' } } handleTextChange = () => { this.setState({text: 'This is my new text!'}); } render() { return ( <div> <h2>{this.state.text}</h2> <button onClick={this.handleTextChange}>Change text</button> </div> ) } }

You can read more about this use case in this article.

Asked 2 years ago in CSS by julieta

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

🤖 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.

👩‍💻 Technical question

let someCondition = true; if (someCondition) { let element = document.createElement('a'); element.innerText = 'Click me'; element.href = 'https://example.com/'; document.querySelector('body').appendChild(element); }

👩‍💻 Technical question

Asked over 2 years ago in CSS by Stephanie

how do I use last-child in css?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.57 seconds

The :last-child selector in CSS filters elements that are the last child of their parent. This can be very useful when working with block elements.

For example:

css
Copy code
div:last-child { font-weight:bold; }

In this CSS, all divs that are the :last-child of their parent would have a font weight of bold.

👩‍💻 Technical question

how to remove an array

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.7 seconds

To remove an array in most programming languages, you can use the pop() or shift() command depending on whether you want to remove the first or last element in the array. For instance, in JavaScript, you can use the following command to remove the last element of the myArray array:

javascript
Copy code
myArray.pop()

For more information on these commands, please refer to the Mozilla Developer Network documentation.

👩‍💻 Technical question

how can i use an array to set the innerhtml of an element to the correct day of the week?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 7.71 seconds

You can use an array to set the innerHTML of an element to the correct day of the week by first declaring and initializing an array containing the days of the week. For example:

javascript
Copy code
let days = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];

Then you can use the getDay() method to get the index of the day in the array, like so:

javascript
Copy code
let index = new Date().getDay();

Finally, you can use the calculated index value to access the appropriate day of the week string from the array, and set it as the value of the element's innerHTML:

javascript
Copy code
document.getElementById("elementId").innerHTML = days[index];

You can find more information on the getDay() here.

👩‍💻 Technical question

how to make an element with opacity 50% but with text inside with full opacity

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.73 seconds

To make an element with opacity 50% but have the text inside be full opacity you can use the CSS opacity and rgba property, such as:

css
Copy code
.element { opacity: 0.5; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1); }

This creates an element with 50% opacity while the text inside the element will be fully opaque. More information on rgba and opacity can be found on the MDN Web Docs.

👩‍💻 Technical question

How does padding in Css work?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 6.74 seconds

In CSS, padding is the space between an element's border and its content. By specifying a padding value, we can control how much space is added around an element's content. The syntax for padding is padding: top right bottom left;, or a single value to apply the same padding on all four sides of an element. In the following example, padding of 10px has been applied to an element:

css
Copy code
.element { padding: 10px; }

If only two values are specified, the first value applies to the top and bottom, and the second value applies to the left and right. If only three values are specified, the first value applies to the top, the second to the left and right, and the third to the bottom.

More information on CSS padding can be found here.

👩‍💻 Technical question

How can I add a video in HTML?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.38 seconds

You can add a video by using the HTML <video> element. The <video> element requires a few attributes, such as src and controls, to properly display the video. The src attribute takes the URL of the video file, and the controls attribute will enable the HTML video player controls. An example would look like this:

<video src="example_video.mp4" width="320" height="240" controls></video>

👩‍💻 Technical question

What's the best way to show a video in CSS?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.97 seconds

The best way to show a video in CSS is to use the video element. The video element allows you to embed videos into an HTML page and manipulate them using CSS. You can set the size, adjust margins, or even style the video player with CSS.

Example:

html
Copy code
<video width="320" height="240" controls> <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video>

For more information, please refer to this tutorial: How to embed Video using HTML5.

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. 👩‍💻🤝💻
