    Hello,

    Try to stay away of using heights as you can cause responsivity issues with that, try paddings instead. That will cause to adjust your wrapper (main) adjust height based on needs of other elements.

    Use main to wrap content

    Use code bellow to avoid box size issues and margin and padding calculations

    • { padding: 0; margin: 0; box-sizing: border-box; }

    Make a div that will contain only QR code and fill it with image. Then set image to have 100% height and width and display as block.

    Good luck!

    Hello there 👋. Good job on completing the challenge !

    I have some suggestions about your code that might interest you.

    • To center an element vertically, you should use a height to its container. In this case it is recommended to use "min-height: 100vh" so that it occupies 100% of the viewport height. e.g.:
    section { 
        display: flex;
        justify-content: center;
        align-items: center;
        min-height: 100vh;
        /* margin-top: 13rem; */
    }
    

    HTML 📄:

    • Use the <main> tag to wrap all the main content of the page instead of the <section> tag. With this semantic element you can improve the accessibility of your page.
    • Use the <footer> tag to wrap the footer of the page instead of the <div class="attribution">. The <footer> element contains information about the author of the page, the copyright, and other legal information.
    • The <br> tag is not a semantic element. If a screen reader user is reading the page, they will hear "line break", which breaks the flow of the content. Instead, use CSS properties like margin, padding or max-width to add vertical space between elements.
    • Since this component involves scanning the QR code, the image is not a decoration, so it must have an alt attribute. The alt attribute should explain its purpose. e.g. QR code to frontendmentor.io

    CSS 🎨:

    • Use max-width: 20rem to .QrCard selector instead of width, this will make the container card a bit responsive on mobile and set the element's maximum width to 20rem.
    • Setting a defined height for the card component is not recommended. The content should define the component height, otherwise, it will not be allowed to extend beyond your specifications. Alternatively, you can use min-height.

      .QrCard {
          /* display: flex; */
          /* flex-direction: column; */
          /* align-items: center; */
          /* justify-content: center; */
          text-align: center;
          /* height: 31rem; */
          /* width: 20rem; */
          max-width: 20rem;
          border-radius: 16px;
          background-color: #fff;
      }
      
    • You should use a CSS reset to remove the default browser styles and make your page look the same in all browsers.

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

    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 1st-party linked stylesheets, and styles within <style> tags.

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.
