I found putting the hover effect challenging.

I'm unsure of the hover effect on the image.

I would like to know the best practices of applying hover effect on an image, with an icon showing on hover.

I would like to know how to properly apply hover on image from left, right, top, bottom and fade. your feedback is very much appreciated.

    Hey, Edoye! 👋

    Regarding the hover effect on the Equilibrium image, I recommend improving it by making the following changes.

    • Wrap the image with an interactive element. You can use an anchor tag.
    • Keep in mind that any elements that have interactivity should be wrapped by interactive elements (e.g. a, button).
    • For your information, anchor tags are for navigation, while the button elements are for actions like opening a modal, submitting a form, toggling element, etc. It is essential to use the correct elements.
    • There's no need to put the word "Image" on the alternative text. The semantic meaning of the img element will make the assistive technologies pronounce it as an image.
    • Remove the entire overlay div.

    Then, to create the overlay, we use CSS.

    • First, create a pseudo-element from the anchor tag.
    • Make the pseudo-element fill the entire image.
    • Lastly, on hover (a:hover::before), add the cyan background color and the eye icon.
    • For the cyan background color, use hsla (or rgba) color format (just like you did).

    I hope this helps! Happy coding!

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.
