This is my very first project here and I am happy I did it. I made use of CSS transform property for the first time to center the element. Sincerely, I do not really know why it had that effect. I'd be happy to get some helpful feedback on that. Thank You :)
Hi, when you used left: 50% you moved #main-container 50% length of <body> to the right, so it is not centered because all #main-container is to the right of <body>.
In order to solve that you used transform: translate(-50%, 0%), it moves #main-container 50% of its width to the right, so now half of it is to the left of <body> and half of it to the right of <body>
To check more about the positioning properties check here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/position For translate function check here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/transform-function/translate
Also, margin: 0 auto does not work in absolute positioned elements.
◦ Positioning the elements at the center was a bit tasking. ◦ I am not sure I got the positioning spot on. ◦ Is there a better way to position elements?
Hi, to align elements you can use Flexbox, in this case you can use
body {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align- items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
Of couse, there are more ways to do this, like using Grid, flex containers or transformations.
Hi, I used the after psedo-element for that purpose. This is my code:
.text-container__link::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
height: 10px;
width: 100%;
border-radius: 5px;
bottom: -2px;
left: 0px;
z-index: -1;
opacity: 0.25;
transition: opacity 0.25s ease-in;
}
.text-container__link:hover::after {
opacity: 1;
}
I put the background color in a modifier.
