    Congratulations on completing the challenge! 🎉

    Welcome to the platform! 🎉 We're thrilled to have you here and excited to see your progress 💪as you continue your front-end development journey.

    Your solution looks nice to me :)

    • margin: 0 auto; is used to horizontally center an element within its container. This sets the top and bottom margins to 0 and the left and right margins to automatic, which causes the element to be centered horizontally.

    • To make it mobile responsive it is important to first understand how the breakpoints work with the media queries, which breakpoints to target etc.

    • Looks like the <div class="box-container"> element is not closed properly. It should have a closing tag </div>.

    • To center it vertically and horizontally you may add display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; height: 100vh; to .box-container

    In my projects:

    • I always start with mobile-first workflow.
    • I use at least one main element for a page (entire content goes into the main, if I'm not using header & footer), and avoid divs as much as possible and use section and article element wherever I can.
    <body>
<main>
All content 
</main>
</body>

    • I Use relative units as much as possible and avoid absolute units whenever possible.

    • If you are someone who is just starting out with front-end development, I strongly suggest starting with the QR code component project(which you did). Also in the challenges page you may filter by (Newbie, HTML&CSS) sort by (easier first) to select projects that will help you solidify your foundation. To avoid any potential knowledge gap⚠️ please first solidify HTML, CSS, JS fundamentals and then move on to any framework or library.

    • I remember when I started out, I made countless mistakes and spent long hours searching for solutions. But hey, you don't need to go through the same struggles! 🙌 To help you shorten the learning curve, I recommend going through the following articles. They contain valuable insights that can make your journey smoother:

    📚🔍 12 important CSS topics where I discuss about css position, z-index, box-model, flexbox, grid, media queries, mobile-first workflow, best practices etc. in a simple way.

    📚🔍 11 important HTML topics where I discuss about my thought process and approach to convert a design/mock-up to HTML along with other topics.

    I hope you find these resources helpful in your coding adventures! 🤞

    I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing the amazing projects you'll create in the future! 🚀💻

    Keep up the fantastic work and happy hacking! 💪✨

    GZ! I think it would be easier if you use "margin: 0 auto" to main container to center it. The more you practice the more you will learn, good luck ;)

    Congrats on completing the challenge

    There are 3 common ways to center and 1 additional way which is not advised to use anymore because some of the new properties

    1. Horizontally: You can set a max-width or a fluid width on a container thats wraps you content and setting the margin: [vertical-margin] auto or margin-inline : auto. This should center it horizontally
    <main>
<div class="container">
<div class="content-box">Content</div>
</div>
</main>

    .container{
max-width : 20rem;
margin-inline : auto;
}
    1. In a Box:
    • Grid: Making the parent grid and using place-content property to center all elements. But the parent has to have a height larger than the content
    .center-content{
display:grid;
place-content:center;
}
    • Flex : Follows the same principle as previous one but has some caveats of child becoming a flex-item;
    .center-content{
display:flex;
justify-content:center;
align-items:center;
}

    You can look up resources on MDN and W3school for easier understanding
