Absolute Position

The position: absolute; value in CSS is used to remove an element from the normal document flow and position it relative to its nearest positioned ancestor or, if none exists, the initial containing block (usually the viewport). This positioning method is powerful for creating complex layouts and UI components.

Animations

CSS animations offer a way to create smooth, performant animations directly in your stylesheets, without relying on JavaScript. They're particularly useful for enhancing user experience and engagement.

Background Property

The background property in CSS is a shorthand for setting various background properties for an element in a single declaration. It allows you to define the background color, image, position, size, and more.

Basics of Flex

The display: flex; value in CSS is used to enable the flexible box layout model, commonly known as Flexbox. Flexbox is a layout model that allows you to design complex layout structures with a more predictable and straightforward way than traditional models, especially when dealing with different screen sizes and dynamic content.

Basics of Grid Display

The display: grid; value in CSS enables the Grid Layout, a two-dimensional layout system that offers a more robust and controlled way to handle both rows and columns in your design.

Block Display

The display: block; value in CSS is one of the most fundamental and commonly used display values. It controls how an element behaves in the layout, specifically making the element behave like a block-level element. Understanding this property is crucial for anyone involved in web development, as it forms the basis for many layout decisions.

Box Model

Every element in HTML is represented as box. By Default every elemented packed as multiple layers sarrounded. Below screenshot wdould explain a little better about it.

Button

Styling buttons is an essential aspect of web development, as buttons are one of the primary ways users interact with a web application.

Checkbox Input

Styling checkboxes can be a bit tricky due to browser inconsistencies and the limitations of native HTML checkboxes. However, with modern CSS techniques, you can create custom checkboxes that not only look good but also enhance user experience.

Contents Display

The display: contents; value in CSS is a somewhat unique and specialized display setting that essentially makes the element itself disappear from the layout, causing its children to take its place in the document flow. This can be particularly useful for semantic markup and accessibility, as it allows you to keep semantic or structural elements in the DOM without affecting layout.

CSS @support

The @supports rule in CSS to be a powerful tool for feature detection. This rule allows you to write conditional CSS that will only be applied if the browser supports a particular property or value, making it easier to implement progressive enhancement and graceful degradation strategies.

CSS @support

Polyfills allow you to implement forward compatibility in your projects, ensuring that even users on older or less capable browsers can access new features. This is crucial for maintaining a high-quality user experience across diverse user bases, which is often a key concern in large-scale or complex projects.

CSS Inbuilt functions

In CSS, functions are used to perform specific operations or computations, often to set dynamic values for properties.

CSS Prefix

CSS prefixes are short strings added before the actual CSS property, serving as a sort of "namespace" for the property. They are used to enable browser-specific features or to support experimental features not yet standardized by the W3C.

CSS Selectors

CSS selectors are the building blocks of CSS. They define the elements to which a set of CSS rules apply. Understanding selectors is crucial for effective CSS coding. Below are the detailed list of selectors.

CSS Variables

CSS variables allow you to store values that you can reuse throughout your stylesheet. They are scoped to the element they are declared on, and they inherit their values, much like other CSS properties.

Filters

The filter property in CSS allows you to apply graphical effects like blurring, brightness adjustments, and color manipulation to elements. This property is especially useful for enhancing images, backgrounds, and even text.

Fixed Position

The position: fixed; value in CSS is used to position an element relative to the browser window or viewport. Unlike other positioning methods, a fixed element does not move when the user scrolls the page, making it ideal for creating sticky headers, footers, or sidebars.

Flex Container

The Flexbox layout model, or simply "Flexbox," provides an efficient way to distribute and align items in complex layouts and when the sizes of your items are unknown or dynamic.

Flex Items

In CSS Flexbox, flex items are the children of a flex container. These items have specific properties that allow you to control their behavior within the container.

Float

The float property in CSS is a powerful tool that was originally designed for wrapping text around images. Over time, it became a popular method for creating layouts and aligning elements before Flexbox and Grid became mainstream.

Grid Alignment

In CSS Grid Layout, alignment and justification are key concepts that allow you to control the position of items within the grid container as well as the grid tracks themselves.

Grid Areas

In CSS Grid Layout, a grid area is a rectangular space that consists of one or more contiguous grid cells. It is defined by the intersection of specific grid rows and grid columns. Grid areas provide a higher level of abstraction for layout design, allowing you to think in terms of larger blocks rather than individual cells.

Grid Cells

In CSS Grid Layout, a grid cell is the most basic unit of the grid. It is the intersection of a grid row and a grid column, forming a rectangular area where a single grid item can be placed.

Grid Container

The grid container in CSS Grid Layout serves as the foundation for creating a grid-based layout. It defines the grid structure and controls the layout of its immediate child elements, known as grid items.

Grid Item

In CSS Grid Layout, a grid item is an element that is a direct child of a grid container. Grid items are placed into grid cells, which are defined by the grid lines of the grid container.

Grid Lines

In CSS Grid Layout, grid lines are the dividing lines that separate the grid into rows and columns. They are the foundational elements that define the structure of the grid, helping you place and align grid items.

Grid Tracks

The concept of "grid-tracks" is central to mastering CSS Grid, as it forms the building blocks of your grid layout.

Images

Images in CSS can be used in various ways to enhance the visual appeal and functionality of a website.

Inline Display

The display: inline; value in CSS is another fundamental display setting that controls how an element behaves within the layout. Unlike block-level elements, inline elements do not start on a new line and only take up as much width as their content requires.

Inline-Block Display

The display inline; and display: block;. It allows elements to maintain an inline-level context while accepting block-level styling. This is particularly useful for creating layouts where you want elements to sit next to each other horizontally but still be able to specify their dimensions, which is not possible with pure inline elements.

Introduction

The display property in CSS is a fundamental property that controls the layout behavior of an element within the document flow. It determines how an element should be displayed and how it interacts with other elements in the layout. Understanding the display property is crucial for anyone involved in web development, especially for roles that require a deep understanding of how elements are rendered on the page.

Introduction

Styling forms is an essential aspect of web development that impacts user experience significantly.

Introduction

CSS standard for Cascading Style Sheets. This is a stylesheet language used mostly in HTML that will allow you to beautify the UI elements.

Introduction

The position property in CSS is used to control the positioning of an element within its containing element. It's a fundamental concept for layout design and can be particularly useful for creating complex layouts and interactive features.

Introduction

Responsive design is a web design approach aimed at creating sites that provide an optimal viewing experience across a wide range of devices, from desktops to mobile phones.

Introduction

HTML tags can be categorized in various ways, but one common method is to divide them based on their function and behavior. Here's a list of HTML tags categorized accordingly:

Javascript and CSS

Updating CSS on HTML elements using JavaScript is a common practice, especially in interactive web applications.

List-Item Display

The display: list-item; value in CSS is used to make an element behave like a list item, similar to an HTML `` element. This property is particularly useful when you want to create custom list structures or apply list-like styling to elements that are not naturally list items.

Media Queries

Media queries are a cornerstone of responsive web design, allowing you to apply different styles based on various conditions, such as device screen size, resolution, and other features.

Mobile First Approach

The "Mobile-First" approach is highly recommended in modern web development for several compelling reasons.

None Display

The display: none; value in CSS is used to completely remove an element from the document flow and rendering tree. This means that the element will not be displayed on the page and will not take up any space. It's as if the element doesn't exist in the DOM for the purposes of rendering.

Radio Input

Styling radio buttons can be a bit more challenging than other form elements due to browser inconsistencies and limitations. However, with modern CSS techniques, you can create custom radio buttons that enhance user experience.

Relative Position

The position static;, which is the default and doesn't allow for positioning adjustments via offset properties, position: relative; enables you to move an element from its normal position using the top, right, bottom, and left properties.

Sass / Scss

SaaS/SCSS in CSS to be a valuable addition to your toolkit. These are not to be confused with Software as a Service (SaaS); rather, they are technologies related to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

Select Tag

Below examples would explain on how to style a dropdown in css.

Shorthand properties

In CSS there are few properties that can be combined and written in a single line. This page would have references to them.

Static Position

The position static;, it is positioned according to the normal document flow, meaning it will be displayed in the order it appears in the source code, affected by other block-level and inline elements around it.

Sticky Position

The position sticky; behaves like a relatively positioned element until it crosses a specified threshold, at which point it becomes fixed. This is particularly useful for creating sticky headers, sidebars, or navigation elements that scroll with the content until a certain point.

SVGs

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) offer a way to create resolution-independent vector graphics that look crisp at any size or resolution.

Table Display

The display: table; value in CSS allows you to make an element behave like an HTML `` element. This is particularly useful for creating grid-like layouts without using the actual table markup, which is semantically incorrect for non-tabular data.

Text and Fonts

Styling text is a fundamental aspect of web design and development.

Text Input

Styling text input fields is a crucial aspect of web development that can significantly impact user experience.

Textarea

Below information and examples help you understand how to style a text area element of the form.

Transitions

Understanding CSS transitions could be a valuable addition to your toolkit. CSS transitions allow you to smoothly change property values over a given duration, enhancing the user experience in web applications.

Units

In CSS, units are used to specify the size of various elements, such as font size, margins, paddings, and more. Understanding the different types of units is crucial for creating responsive and scalable designs.

Viewport Meta Tag

The viewport meta tag is a crucial element in responsive web design, allowing you to control how your website is displayed on different devices.
