WDS74 - Becoming Greedy in CSS(Part 2)

In the last article, we learned about the need of using css grid and what it actually changes in designing web pages rather than using other positioning methods like float and inline-blocks. Now let's move forward to know some of the basic terms of css grids and understand it.

Important Terms

Before actually knowing how to create a grid layout let's clear our terminology about it.

Grid Container

It is the direct parent of all the grid items. This is the element on which display: grid is applied. In the given example, the container is the grid container.

5
<div class="container">
  <div class="item"></div>
  <div class="item"></div>
  <div class="item"></div>
</div>

Grid Items

The children(direct) of the grid container. Here the item elements are grid items, but item1 isn't.

7
<div class="container">
  <div class="item"></div> 
  <div class="item">
   <div class="item1"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="item"></div>
</div>

Grid Line

Dividing lines that make the structure of the grid. These lines divide entire vertical space into columns and horizontal space in rows.

Grid Track

The space between two adjecent grid lines. These space can be any column or any row.

Grid Cell

Any space between two adjecent rows and two aadjacentcolumn grids to form a rectangular unit of grid.

 That's all for today. In the next article, we will actually start learning about various grid classes, properties and values. Learning grid is little bit longer but once you learned it you are going to start your web design with it.

Now in today's article, we are going to learn more about them so that to customize them even more. Let's begin... Reverse Directions and Alternate Cycles The animation-direction property in CSS decides whether we want to play animation forward, backward or in alternate cycles. Following values are possible: normal - This is the default. Animation plays as normal(forward). reverse - The animation plays in reverse direction that is backward. alternate - The animation first plays forward and then backward. alternate-reverse - The animation first plays backward and then forward.
