Q

Name an instance in which we don’t know how much information we’re going to display

A

For example, consider online shopping. Often, these web pages include the option at the bottom of the search results to display a certain quantity of results or to display ALL results on a single page. When displaying all results, the web developer can’t know in advance how many elements will be in the search results each time.

50
Q

Implicit grid

A

The implicit grid is an algorithm built into the specification for CSS Grid that determines default behavior for the placement of elements when there are more than fit into the grid specified by the CSS.

51
Q

What is the default behavior of the implicit grid?

A

The default behavior of the implicit grid is as follows: items fill up rows first, adding new rows as necessary. New grid rows will only be tall enough to contain the content within them.

52
Q

What two properties to specify the size of grid tracks added implicitly within CSS Grid?

A

grid-auto-rows and grid-auto-columns

53
Q

Where is grid-auto-rows and grid-auto-columns declared?

A

These properties are declared on grid containers.

54
Q

grid-auto-rows

Specifies the width of implicitly added grid columns.

56
Q

You can pair row or column with dense, like this: grid-auto-flow: row dense;

60
Q

grid-auto-flow: row;

A

Specifies the new elements should fill rows from left to right and create new rows when there are too many elements (default)

61
Q

grid-auto-flow: column;

A

Specifies the new elements should fill columns from top to bottom and create new columns when there are too many elements

62
Q

grid-auto-flow: dense;

A

This keyword invokes an algorithm that attempts to fill holes earlier in the grid layout if smaller elements are added

63
Q

Which three values do the justify-content and align-items properties share?

A

start, end, center

64
Q

Imagine we have a grid with the following CSS properties, with 4 boxes inside of it. If we added a fifth box to the HTML, what height would it have?

.grid {
grid-template-rows: repeat(2, 50px);
grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 100px);
grid-auto-rows: 60px;
grid-auto-columns: 70px;
}

A

60px

Any implicitly created rows will have the height specified by grid-auto-rows, not the height of the explicitly created rows.

65
Q

Imagine we have a grid with 2 explicitly defined rows and 2 explicitly defined columns and no other grid properties set in the CSS, with the following divs inside of it. If we added a <div class="box">E</div> to the HTML after box D, where would box E appear on the page

<div>A</div>

<div>B</div>

<div>C</div>

<div>D</div>

A

It would appear underneath box C in a new row

66
Q

Which of the following display values will set an element to be a grid container and inline?

A

inline-grid

67
Q

Imagine we have a grid with 4 items in it, with the following CSS properties. What width would the 3rd column be?

.grid {
grid-auto-columns: 100px 200px;
grid-auto-flow: column;
}

A

100px

The boxes will fill up implicitly created columns which alternate between being 100px and 200px. Odd rows will be 100px in size.
