Hello there π. Congratulations on successfully completing the challenge! π
- I have other recommendations regarding your code that I believe will be of great interest to you.
CSS π¨:
- Let me explain, How you can easily center the component for better layout without usage of
absolute
positioning.
- We don't need to use
absolute
to center the component both horizontally & vertically. Because usingabsolute
will not dynamical centers our component at all states
- To properly center the component in the page, you should use
Flexbox
orGrid
layout. You can read more about centering in CSS here π.
- For this demonstration we use css
Grid
to center the component
body { min-height: 100vh; display: grid; place-items: center; }
- Now remove these styles, after removing you can able to see the changes
#outsidebox { position: absolute; left: 50%; top: 50%; transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%); }
- Now your component has been properly centered.
.
I hope you find this helpful π Above all, the solution you submitted is great !
Happy coding!

When you use the root element make sure to use it. You donβt need to assign the hsl, or rgb to the property if itβs in root.
:root { -background-color: -background-color: hsl(212, 45%, 89%); } background-color: var(-background-color);

you can center the div using display grid or flex
body{ min-height: 100vh; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; } or body{ min-height: 100vh; display: grid; place-content: center; }
hope this helps.
