What would be a better way of implementing the product card with the image on the left and text on the right? Took me a long time to try and figure it out and I am sure there is an easier way of doing it.

Thanks in advanced!

    Hello again 👋. Good job on completing the challenge !

    I have another option to create two columns.

    • Another way to create two columns in CSS is to use the grid layout 📐. Using the grid layout, you can create two columns by setting the display property of the parent element to grid and then defining the number of columns you want with the grid-template-columns property.

      Example:

      <div class="container">
        <div>Column 1</div>
        <div>Column 2</div>
      </div>
      
      .container {
        display: grid;
        grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr) /*  Creates two columns with equal width  */
      }
      

    I hope you find it useful! 😄

    Happy coding!

    hi windowpi, A common and effective way to implement a product card with an image on the left and text on the right is by using CSS flexbox. With CSS flexbox, you can easily create a flexible container for the card, set the direction of the items (i.e., image and text), and align them as desired.

    ok.... take this as an example

    HTML

    <div class="product-card"> <img src="product-image.jpg" alt="Product Image"> <div class="product-info"> <h3>Product Name</h3> <p>Product description goes here</p> </div> </div> CSS .product-card { display: flex; flex-direction: row; }

    .product-info { padding: 10px; text-align: left; } With this example code, the image and the product info will be displayed side-by-side in a row, with the product info having a padding of 10 pixels and left-aligned text. hope this was some kind of help to you.

    To center .container on the page using flexbox, replace the height in the body with min-height: 100vh.

    Use relative units like rem or em as unit for the padding, margin, width values and preferably rem for the font-size values, instead of using px which is an absolute unit. For more on CSS units Click here

    You forgot to add a media query for the mobile design, in the media query, reduce the max-width of .container give the img and .content a width of 100% and give .container s flex-direction: column

    Hope am helpful.

    Well done for completing this challenge. 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.
