HTML-CSS: Responsive image mosaic

HTML-CSS : Exercise-34 with Solution

Using HTML, CSS creates a responsive image mosaic.

  • Use display: grid to create an appropriate responsive grid layout.
  • Use grid-row: span 2 / auto and grid-column: span 2 / auto to create items that span two rows or two columns respectively.
  • Wrap the previous styles into a media query to avoid applying on small screen sizes.

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.
