HTML-CSS: List with floating section headings
HTML-CSS : Exercise-5 with Solution
Using HTML, CSS create a list with floating headings for each section.
- Use overflow-y: auto to allow the list container to overflow vertically.
- Use display: grid on the inner container (<dl>) to create a layout with two columns.
- Set headings (<dt>) to grid-column: 1 and content (<dd>) to grid-column: 2.
- Finally, apply position: sticky and top: 0.5rem to headings to create a floating effect.
