    Congrats for your solution!🥳

    The <div> element that contains the attributions, the one below the <main>, could have been used as a <footer> element.

    Explanation:

    In HTML, the <footer> element is specifically designed to represent the footer of a section or a document. It typically contains information such as copyright notices, contact information, links to related documents, and other metadata about the section.

    Using <footer> instead of a generic <div> has several benefits:

    • Semantics: It provides a clear semantic meaning to the content, making it easier for screen readers and other assistive technologies to understand the structure of the page.
    • SEO: Search engines may give more weight to content within a <footer> element, as it is considered to be important metadata about the page.
    • Accessibility: It helps users with disabilities to navigate the page more easily, as they can quickly identify the footer section.

    In your case, since the <div> element below the <main> seems to contain attributions, which is a typical type of content found in footers, it would be more appropriate to use the <footer> element instead.

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.
