Solution retrospective


I struggled with two things here, mainly the buttons. Help with these things would be greatly appreciated.

How do I get the button hover to work properly so that the text becomes white upon hovering the button? Right now it only becomes white if the link itself is hovered. My CSS for the buttons isn't clean, advice would be much appreciated.

Also regarding the buttons, at different points in the responsive layout, the buttons are not aligned horizontally. Is there any simple way to ensure they stay aligned? The only solution I could think of was to make a grid and separate the button area from the area above it, but that seemed overly complicated.

    Hi! I’d use interactive element like <button> for all buttons in this challenge instead of wrapping <a> tag inside a <div class=“btn btn-orange> so you can apply hover effect on the entire button. Cheers,

    @Elena: I'm sorry. My advice didn't really help you. I was trying to help. I once wrapped an anchor tag around a button element and it seemed to work fine. Thanks to @Alex now I know it's not a good approach.

How does the accessibility report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use axe-core to run an automated audit of your code.

This picks out common accessibility issues like not using semantic HTML and not having proper heading hierarchies, among others.

This automated audit is fairly surface level, so we encourage to you review the project and code in more detail with accessibility best practices in mind.

How does the CSS report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use stylelint to run an automated check on the CSS code.

We've added some of our own linting rules based on recommended best practices. These rules are prefixed with frontend-mentor/ which you'll see at the top of each issue in the report.

The report will audit all CSS, SCSS and Less files in your repository.

How does the HTML validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use html-validate to run an automated check on the HTML code.

The report picks out common HTML issues such as not using headings within section elements and incorrect nesting of elements, among others.

Note that the report can pick up “invalid” attributes, which some frameworks automatically add to the HTML. These attributes are crucial for how the frameworks function, although they’re technically not valid HTML. As such, some projects can show up with many HTML validation errors, which are benign and are a necessary part of the framework.

How does the JavaScript validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use eslint to run an automated check on the JavaScript code.

The report picks out common JavaScript issues such as not using semicolons and using var instead of let or const, among others.

The report will audit all JS and JSX files in your repository. We currently do not support Typescript or other frontend frameworks.
