The challenge was pretty straightforward but I encountered some error I found hard to handle. How can I prevent the background color of the button from reducing in idth as the screen size is reduced apart from adding a media query.

    Hey there, congratulations for completing the challenge.

    I saw that you used % on the width of the 'Learning', % gets it's parents size and grab it's %.

    So if the parent size reduces, it reduces too.

    I'm not so expert on that, but i know that this is causing your problem, and i recommend you to search about the size units css, so you can understand why.

    I recommend you to use rem, and set a width you would like in the 'Learning'.

    Sorry for my bad english '-.-

    Hello @des254!

    Your project looks great!

    I have one suggestion for you to improve it even more:

    • Using position: absolute is not the best option to center an element. This method can cause bugs and may result in part of the content being cut off on smaller screens.

    Here's a very efficient (and better) way to place an element in the middle of the page both vertically and horizontally:

    📌 Apply this to the body (in order to work properly, don't use position or margins):

    body {
        min-height: 100vh;
        display: flex; 
        justify-content: center;
        align-items: center;
    }
    

    I hope it helps!

    Other than that, great job!

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.
