Solution retrospective


I tried to create the +/- symbol to expand the faq option using the pseudo-classes "::after" and "::before" with no convincing success, I was unable to center both elements inside the circle I'm not exactly sure how they behave in the content flow, is like they don't care but kinda care

    Look like you have a working accordion. Great work!

    It looks like you adjusted the brightness and saturation to achieve the the required result.

    The pseudo element idea would work..

    I took part of your code/css for the cross (.expand ) and edited it to use pseudo elements. I re-created it in Codepen (see the link)- Code Pen - Pseudo Elements

    Hope this helps.

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 1st-party linked stylesheets, and styles within <style> tags.

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.
