    Study Notes

    Background parameters

    • background-color sets the background color of an element
    • background-image sets the background image of an element
    • background-size sets the size of the background image
      • auto sets the image to its original size
      • cover scales the image to cover the entire element, potentially cropping the image
      • contain scales the image to fit inside the element, potentially leaving empty space
    • background-clip sets the clipping area for the background image
      • border-box clips the background image at the border
      • padding-box clips the background image at the padding
      • content-box clips the background image at the content
      • text clips the background image to the text itself
    • background-attachment determines how a background image is attached to the element
      • fixed keeps the background image at the same position while scrolling
      • scroll keeps the background image at the same position on the page while scrolling, but the background image might scroll out of view alongside other elements
    • background-repeat determines how the background image is repeated
      • repeat repeats the background image both horizontally and vertically
      • no-repeat does not repeat the image
      • repeat-x repeats the image only horizontally
      • repeat-y repeats the image only vertically

    CSS Reset and Normalize

    • CSS Reset is a collection of CSS rules used to override default browser styles for consistency
    • CSS normalize aims to make default styles across browsers consistent, aiming for modern standards

    CSS Naming Conventions

    • BEM (Block, Element, Modifier) is a naming convention for classes:
      • Block: Represents a standalone element (ex: .card)
      • Element: A part of a Block (ex: .card__title)
      • Modifier: A variation of a Block or Element (ex: .card--active)

    Benefits of BEM

    • Improves code organization
    • Reduces CSS footprint
    • Promotes reuse of components

    Key learnings

    • CSS provides various properties for managing background styles
    • CSS resets and normalize files help maintain consistency and improve web design
    • BEM facilitates efficient CSS naming and organization
    • Explore resources like CSS BEM, CSS BEM 2, and CSS BEM CHEAT SHEET

    CSS Properties

    • The float property specifies that an element should be placed along the left or right side of its containment box, allowing text and inline elements to wrap around it.
    • The float property removes the element from the normal flow of the webpage while still remaining a part of it.
    • Three possible values for float: none, left, right.
    • The clear property specifies that an element can't be placed next to other floating elements.
    • Three possible values for clear: left, right, both.

    Block, Inline, Inline-Block

    • HTML5 Flow content is rendered as block-level.
    • HTML5 Phrasing content is rendered as inline.
    • Block-level elements occupy the entire width of their container and can contain inline elements.
    • Inline elements are rendered in line without breaking the line.

    position and z-index

    • The position property determines the final location of positioned elements on the page.

    • The position property has five possible values: static, relative, absolute, fixed, sticky.

    • The static value is the default for all elements and is not positioned.

    • The relative value positions the element relative to its normal position.

    • The absolute value positions the element relative to its nearest positioned ancestor, if none, it will position relative to the document body.

    • The fixed value positions the element relative to the browser window.

    • The sticky value positions the element relative to the viewport.

    • The z-index property specifies the stacking order of elements, determining which element is displayed on top of the other when elements overlap.

    • The z-index property has an integer value. Larger values cover elements with lower values, while elements with the same z-index are stacked in document order.

    Examples

    • position: relative elements are positioned relative to their original location.
    • position: absolute elements are positioned relative to their nearest positioned ancestor (parent) element.
    • Elements with position: fixed will be positioned in relation to the viewport, and will stay in place when the user scrolls up and down.
    • .box elements with the same z-index are stacked in the order they appear in the HTML code.
