WDS51 - CSS Float and Clear(Part 2)

In the last article, we learned about float and clear properties in CSS and also seen two examples involving both of them. Now in this article, we are going to see some problems while using them and some practical examples.
Let's begin...

Too much height

If you have tried it(or mistakenly encountered it ðŸ˜Ž), if the height of an element is taller than element containing it, and it is floated then that element will overflow outside of its container. To solve this issue, we can add overflow: auto; to the containing element to fix this issue.
Let's see an example...

Practical example

We can create entire web layout using float and clear properties now. I have given one below. You should just see the output and try to code to see how far you can reach...
You can definitely style it much more using concepts of CSS we have learned but I have presented simplistic output. Try...

That's all for today. In the next article, we will learn about inline blocks in CSS. 
Till then #keepCoding.

WDS85 - Animate the CSS(Part 3)

In the last two articles, we learned about animations in CSS and various ways to customize them with the help of iterations and animation delays. 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. Speed Curve of Animation Just like we used various ways to customize transitions in CSS some articles before, same functions can be used to change the speed of the animation. The animation-timing-function property specifies the speed curve o

WDS83 - Animate the CSS

In the last two articles, we learned about CSS transitions and created some pretty cool elements with transitions and transformations. Now in today's class, we are going to learn animations in CSS which creates animations without the use of javascript or flash. CSS Animations A CSS animation lets us change an element's style from one to another. We can change as many properties as we want. To use this CSS animations, we have to first specify some keyframe rules which include how and which properties are we changing. The @keyframes Rule When we specify CSS styles inside the  @keyframes rule, the animations will gradually change from current style to new style at certain times. To get these working, we must bind animations to an element. Let's understand more by an example... @keyframes myAnimation { from { background-color : blue ;} to { background-color : red ;} } div { width : 100px ; height : 100px ; background-color : b
