When creating the hover overlay for the main image, the anchor link stopped working and I had to change the cursor to a pointer when hovering as a workaround. I could not find a cause for this.

Also the image overlay sometimes triggers from very far down the page.

Any insight into why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi there! 👋

    I notice an issue where as a user I can see the hover effect on the Equilibrium image without actually having my cursor above the image. Then, I found that the scale property causing this issue.

    .card-overlay-icon {
        /* scale: 15%; */
        width: 100%;
    }
    

    To fix and improve the overlay of the Equilibrium, we need to get the HTML right first.

    • First, remove the card-overlay div and the card-overlay-icon. We will make the overlay using pseudo-elements and background properties.
    • Second, the card-image should be a link element that wraps the Equilibrium image.
    • Lastly, the alternative text for the image should be the text content for the link. When I was doing the challenge, I set the value for the href to the image. The purpose of the link was to allow the users to preview the image. So, the alternative text is "Preview Equilibrium".

    Then for the styling,

    • Create one pseudo-element from the anchor tag.
    • Then make the pseudo-element fill the entire image.
    • After that, when the anchor tag gets hovered (a:hover::before), you can add the cyan overlay and the eye icon using background properties.
    • Lastly, for the cyan color, I recommend using the hsla color format. This way, you can reduce the alpha (opacity) of the cyan color.

    That's it! I hope this information is useful! 🙂

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.
