I tried to make the card using flexbox initially, couldn't do it because the image-container didn't take the 50% width, it just kept showing there was available space without actually using the space.

How should I fix this issue?

👾Hello @z0dded, Congratulations on completing this challenge!

Your solution its almost done and I’ve some tips to help you to improve it:

1.Prefer CLASS instead of ID to give style to your elements, choosing id is not a good idea because it’s a too specific selector and it's better to use it for forms or Javascript code. It is not advisable to use IDs as CSS selectors because if another element in the page uses the same/similar style, you would have to write the same CSS again.

2.Use the THE PICTURE TAG that is a shortcut to deal with the multiple images in this challenge. So you can use the <picture> tag instead of importing this as an <img> or using a div with background-image. Use it to place the images and make the change between mobile and desktop, instead of using a div or img and set the change in the css with display: none with the tag picture is more practical and easy. Note that for SEO / search engine reasons isn’t a better practice import this product image with CSS since this will make it harder to the image. Manage both images inside the <picture> tag and use the html to code to set when the images should change setting the device max-width depending of the device desktop + mobile.

Check the link for the official documentation for <picture> in W3 SCHOOLS: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_picture.asp

See the example below:

<picture>
  <source media="(max-width:650px)" srcset="./images/image-product-mobile.jpg">
  <img src="./images/image-product-desktop.jpg" alt="Gabrielle Parfum" style="width:auto;">
</picture>

Hey @z0dded Congratulations on completing the challenge. You have done a good job. Regarding the problem you discussed , I would like to say - when I make changes in your css and use display:flex, found no problem. I suggest you to try once again . I made following changes and the page is ok after making these changes. #card{ display:flex; border-radius: 0.5rem; background-color: var(--white); width:40rem; height:30rem; } #image-container{ width:50%; border-top-left-radius:0.5rem; border-bottom-left-radius:0.5rem; height:100%; background-image:url(./images/image-product-desktop.jpg); background-size:cover; } #content{ height:100%; width:50%; padding:2rem; font-family:”Monserrat”, sans-serif; } Please revert if you still face this problem. Thanks for reading.
