Hello front-end mentor community. In this challenge I struggled with the following points, any help would be much appreciated:

  1. How to make the browser switch from one svg file to another: In the challenge they gave us two svg files for the background, one is for desktops and the other is for mobile devices. How do I make the browser switch between svg files? Can I put an svg tag inside an img tag? Or is there something that acts like the picture tag but can be used with svg tags? The answers I found on the internet all worked with svg files placed inside img tags in the src, but there was nothing that worked with the svg tag itself.

  2. I tried to center the div in the middle of the page. Below is the code I tried to use: .container{ position: absolute; left: 50%; top: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%); } Technically it should've worked but it pushed the container div way up, so I had to change the top property from 50% to 85% and then it worked, at least for the desktop view. In mobile devices, the container div was pushed to the top right leaving a lot of space on the right and the bottom. Also, if there's anything else I could improve in the code, please let me know. Thank you so much :)

    use css background property on your .hero section https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background , the two images provided are for mobile and desktop. Use a media query to assess the viewport width and change the background . https://css-tricks.com/a-complete-guide-to-css-media-queries/

    1. use flexbox to center the contents of the body;

    i.e

    dislay: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; height: 100vh;

    You might want to add the SVG to the body tag as a background like this https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background.asp

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.
