This project made me review CSS and HTML, and I'm honestly a bit unsure about the text-align property, I understand its function but I feel like I need more experience with working it out.

Hi there 👋. Good job on completing the challenge ! I have some feedback for you if you want to improve your code.

HTML Structure:

I noticed that your html file does not have the basic structure of a web page (html, head, body) and it is missing the <!DOCTYPE html> declaration. You can read more about this here.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
   <! -- Main content of website -->
</body>
</html>

You can read more about this here

HTML:

The lang attribute is used to declare the language of the webpage. Create an <html> tag and add the lang attribute to the <html> tag with the value en.

The viewport meta tag is missing. the viewport meta tag is used to control the layout of the page on mobile devices. Add the viewport meta tag to the <head> tag: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

Use the <main> tag to wrap all the main content of the page instead of the <div> tag. With this semantic element you can improve the accessibility of your page.

You must use a level-one heading (h1) even though this is not a full-page challenge. You can create an '<h1>' element within your 'main' element that will be hidden visually but visible and readable by screen readers. The class "sr-only" hides content visually and here are the styles to copy. e.g.: <h1 class="sr-only">QR Card Component</h1>

I hope you find it useful! 😄 Above all, the solution you submitted is great!

Happy coding! 🎄

Hi there 👋:

We gladly welcome you to the Front end mentor community
You just completed a solution as per the design Congratulations..🙌
But, There's an report in accessibility which causes accessibility error

RESOLVING THE ERROR

<html> must have language attribute which improves accessibility so change it to <html lang="en">
And then provide alt text to img element by doing this
<img src="image-qr-code.png" alt="qr-code">
The div with class .parent is meant to be a main element
Because using semantical elements to structure the HTML improves the accessibility for screen readers
So change the div into main element

Great job Carolyn!

I have some recommendations to improve your code...

The best way to center the QR code component is by applying some styles in the body. This will work only if you remove the positioning properties that you applied in the child and parent elements

body{
    height: 100vh;
    width: 100%;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    font-family: 'Outfit';
    background-color: hsl(212,45%,89%);
}

The font family ''Outfit'' is the main font you can add it to the body so like that you don't have to repeat code.

Also you are missing some fundamental things in the structure of your html file.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Qr codep roject</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="parent">
      <div class="child">
        <img src="image-qr-code.png" />
        <h2>Improve your front-end skills by building projects</h2>
        <p>
          Scan the QR code to visit Frontend Mentor and take your coding skills
          to the next level
        </p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

Hope you a nice day! Keep up the good work!

Replace <div class="parent"> with the main tag to fix the accessibility issues. for more on semantic html visit https://web.dev/learn/html/semantic-html/

To center .child on the page, add min-height:100vh; display: flex; align-items: center: justify-content: center; or min-height:100vh; display: grid place-items: center to .parent. Instead of giving .child position: relative and its properties.

Give .parent a height of 100%, width of 100% , padding: 0; and margin: 0; there is no need for position: relative in .parent

Use rem or em as unit for the padding, margin, width and preferably rem for the font-size for more on this watch this https://youtu.be/N5wpD9Ov_To

Hope am helpful HAPPY CODING
