HTML Feedback

Navigation

The navigation section of your HTML code is close, but there's a small adjustment that needs to be made. The menu button should be placed outside of the <nav> element. This is because the menu button will control the visibility of the navigation when we get to Part II.

In your current code, the menu button is nested inside the <nav> element. To fix this, you can move the menu button outside of the <nav> element, like so:

<button id="menu">Menu</button>
<nav class="hide">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="javascript:void(0);">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="javascript:void(0);">People</a></li>
        <li><a href="javascript:void(0);">Places</a></li>
        <li><a href="javascript:void(0);">About</a></li>
        <li><a href="javascript:void(0);">Contact</a></li>
    </ul>
</nav>

This adjustment will ensure that the menu button is properly positioned and can control the visibility of the navigation.

HTML Structure

It's great to see that you've made an effort to follow the assignment instructions and structure your HTML code accordingly. However, it's worth noting that the HTML structure should be reviewed to ensure that it meets the requirements of the assignment.

According to the assignment instructions, the HTML structure should include the following elements:

• A <header> element that contains the navigation menu
• A <main> element that contains the content of the page
• A <footer> element that contains the footer content

To ensure that your HTML structure meets these requirements, you can review the assignment instructions and make any necessary adjustments.

CSS Feedback

Layout

Your use of CSS Grid is excellent, and your page looks great! The layout matches the visual design of the mockup, and it's clear that you've put a lot of effort into creating a visually appealing design.

One suggestion I have is to consider using a more specific selector for the CSS Grid layout. Instead of using a general selector like .grid, you could use a more specific selector like .cool-pics-grid to target the specific grid layout on your page.

<img> Size

Regarding the image size, you're enforcing a width and height on the images that is forcing them to be smaller than you might have intended. If I understand your concern correctly, these rules are making the images appear smaller than desired.

To fix this, you can set the width and height properties to a specific value that fits your liking. For example, you could set them to 250px or some other size that works for your design.

Responsiveness

Your use of media queries is excellent, and your page is responsive and looks great in all screen sizes! It's clear that you've put a lot of effort into creating a responsive design that works well on different devices.

One suggestion I have is to consider using a more specific selector for the media queries. Instead of using a general selector like @media screen, you could use a more specific selector like @media (max-width: 768px) to target specific screen sizes.

CSS Structure

It's great to see that you've made an effort to structure your CSS code in a logical and organized way. However, it's worth noting that the CSS structure should be reviewed to ensure that it meets the requirements of the assignment.

According to the assignment instructions, the CSS structure should include the following elements:

• A reset.css file that resets the default browser styles
• A styles.css file that contains the custom styles for the page
• A mediaqueries.css file that contains the media queries for the page

To ensure that your CSS structure meets these requirements, you can review the assignment instructions and make any necessary adjustments.

File Structure

You've done a great job structuring this assignment! You've made appropriate use of .html, .css, and .js files, and your file structure is well-organized and easy to navigate.

One suggestion I have is to consider using a more specific naming convention for your files. Instead of using generic names like coolpics.html and coolpics.css, you could use more specific names like cool-pics-gallery.html and cool-pics-styles.css to reflect the specific content of each file.
