HTML-CSS: Zig zag background pattern

HTML-CSS : Exercise-30 with Solution

Using HTML, CSS creates a zig zag background pattern.

  • Use background-color to set a white background.
  • Use background-image with four linear-gradient() values to create the parts of a zig zag pattern.
  • Use background-size to specify the pattern's size. Use background-position to place the parts of the pattern in the correct locations.
  • Note: The fixed height and width of the element is for demonstration purposes only.

HTML-CSS: Tips of the Day

How to get CSS to select ID that begins with a string ?

[id^=product]

^= indicates "starts with". Conversely, $= indicates "ends with".

The symbols are actually borrowed from Regex syntax, where ^ and $ mean "start of string" and "end of string" respectively.
