Learning web development: Marking guides and questions

Dear Mozilla,

First off, thank you for providing the excellent “Learn Web Development” tutorial and associated MDN resources. Phenomenal stuff.

I was wondering if you could provide some general feedback on my Mozilla-splash-page exercise. I noticed it doesn’t scale very well past < ~360px when inspected in responsive design mode (words / icons get truncated, go off screen) despite example solution picture being 321.5px and looking fine. Is that a default behavior or do I need to make some significant changes?

Any input appreciated.

Kind Regards
Martin P.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for getting in touch. I’m so happy that you are enjoying the learning material :wink:

For the Splash Page example, your version looks really good, pretty much identical in output to our example! Well done.

the reason it starts to scroll horizontally and not look so great lower than 360px wide is that I have the CSS property min-width: 360px set on the body element. You’ve not done anything wrong.

If you remove that line from the styles.css file, it goes smaller without too much trouble, although the icon starts overlapping the heading.

Maybe I should remove that line from the exercise?

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the feedback. My thinking would be to leave the line in but make a note of that in the text. As in “Your result might be a little different, but don’t be alarmed, it’s b/c I’ve added the “min-width: 360px” line in my CSS for optimal viewing” kind of thing.

I’ve decided to just remove it from the exercise. I don’t think it should be explained at this stage, because I’ve not taught any CSS at this point in the course.

I am glad you got it sorted! The list bullets are missing because they have list-style: none set on them in the CSS.

Can someone explain to me the usage of this code?

I am kind of confused. We are going to examine this piece of code:

<img> srcset=“mozilla-dinosaur-head_120.png 120w,
mozilla-dinosaur-head_400.png 400w”
sizes="(max-width: 480px) 120px,
400px"
src=“mozilla-dinosaur-head_400.png” alt=“A funny description”>

If the width of the viewport is 350px then the image width is going to be exact 120px, otherwise it should be 400px. But in my case something else is happening. When I resize the browser window, I am inspecting the image dimensions with the developer tools and the image shrinks as the browse window shrunks, ignoring the rules that define the exact dimensions of the image when a certain criteria is met. I have used Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. The code editor that I used is Brackets and I am using Live Preview.
