Flexbox container query -- what am I missing?

See https://codepen.io/thejgc/pen/ogjLMKg for my code, including the following explanation: There should be 5 buttons in this header would should be spaced out evenly, wherever possible. Buttons .one and .two are in a .lowerpriority section, but should be visible whenever there is enough width. As available width decreases, .two should be hidden, and then the whole .lowerpriority area. I've set up container names and made sure the parent containers can flex their width with min-width: 0. But whatever I set the container query breakpoints size to, it always triggers....

prefers-color-scheme vs light-dark()

Hey all, I am wondering for those who setup dark modes for their web projects whether they use prefers-color-scheme or light-dark() or a combination of the two. I have been testing out the new light-dark() method, but find I light having the greater control using prefers-color-scheme. Just wondering what other people's experience / feelings are about this....

Mask not covering original element when put on a webpage?

Just wondering if anyone had any ideas. I'm masking a bg element with a picture to make an outline shape, and then placing that shape back on top of the picture so I can reveal it with a clip-path animation. Problem is it looks fine in figma, but on the page you can clearly see the image bleeding through at the edges. Just not really sure how to deal with this (as it doesn't seem as simple as scaling up the mask element). Both elements are identical sizes according to the dom. Nick...

Struggling with best practices

Hello, attached is my codepen, basically I want the "Ayesha." / logo in line with my nav bar, but I'm struggling what best practice is, same with the book online, I want them in a little closer to the nav bar then in line with the nav bar/links. I have it set with padding but I'm wondering if that's best practice, just padding till it looks in line or can I do it all easier? Thank you : https://codepen.io/spencerrcr/pen/gbaPZEq reference layout image attached as well :

Using node cli vs using CDN

Hello, I was just experiencing a bit with react and I read that I can access react modules either using the cli or using a CDN. I think this always apply to other frameworks. I was wondering what's the difference here, how does using react using node differs from using a CDN (or any other frameworks)? At the end of the day both import codes, no? Yeah maybe one is faster because we don't need extra http request, is there any other reason what using node for react instead of a CDN can do please. (It's the same thing for tailwind I think, we have a CDN which we can use, don't know if we can use node though)...

StrictMode and creatRoot in React

Hello, can someone explain how the StrictMode and createRoot works in react please, why do we need to include them in our main entry point of .jsx? What if we omit them? From what I've read, StrictMode is there to detect some errors that can happen at runtime. What about creatRoot? Can't we omit if?...

Question for Kevin

Hi, this question is for Kevin if I might be so bold. I am a college instructor who teaches web development / front end. I went through your HTML & CSS for Absolute Beginners series to see your topic progression and concepts taught versus how I teach the subject to my students. Great course by the way, I would highly recommend it to my students. Two subjects I noticed you did not covers were CSS floats and CSS positioning. Where do you feel these subjects belong in the greater teaching of web layout? I agree with teaching CSS grids and CSS flexbox first as they are used more often to the do the heavy lifting of layout, and then teaching floats and positioning when it makes sense for particular use cases. If you want a sticky nav, you need CSS positioning to create that. I just thought it was interesting that those topics were not covered in the basic level course. If you were making an intermediate course, would you include the topics there?...
