Fixing a Mobile Header with CSS and Z-Index | Project Part 7

In this live stream, I finish a big round of responsive CSS work for the Practice Layouts homepage. We start by fixing the mobile search animation with a pseudo-element and some careful z-index work, then continue through skip link styling, mobile hero spacing, the main content grid, footer layout and portfolio card responsiveness. This stream also includes a useful detour into Flexbox, aspect ratio and why changing `flex-direction` can make sizing feel like it flipped. It is a very real frontend session: lots of small CSS decisions, testing at different widths and letting the layout tell us what needs to change. Topics covered: Fixing a mobile search animation with pseudo-elements and z-index Styling skip links for keyboard users Adjusting mobile hero spacing and the main grid Making footer text and layout work on small screens Responsive portfolio card layouts with Flexbox Thinking through `aspect-ratio`, `height` and flex axes Subscribe for more vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript practice. #html #css #javascript 🟣 REPO: https://github.com/angelajholden/prac... 🔵 CODE REVIEWS: https://angelajholden.com/consulting 🔵 EMAIL: [email protected] 🟢 SPONSOR: https://github.com/sponsors/angelajho... 🟢 DONATE: https://www.paypal.me/angelajholden 📚 Chapters 00:00:00 Starting Soon 00:02:05 Intro and the mobile header problem 00:06:30 Trying a pseudo-element fix 00:11:42 Solving the z-index layering 00:15:56 Search animation timing and visibility 00:33:20 Styling the skip navigation link 00:41:46 Mobile hero spacing and main grid 00:46:10 Footer responsive layout 00:52:03 Refining hero card typography 01:29:39 Portfolio item image sizing with Flexbox 01:36:52 Stacking cards at smaller widths 01:42:21 Aspect ratio and height in Flexbox 01:53:30 Footer alignment polish 01:56:00 Wrap-up and JavaScript plan
