HTML-CSS : Exercise-1 with Solution

Using HTML, CSS create a styled checkbox with animation on state change.

Use an <svg> element to create the check <symbol> and insert it via the <use> element to create a reusable SVG icon.
Create a .checkbox-container and use flexbox to create the appropriate layout for the checkboxes.
Hide the <input> element and use the label associated with it to display a checkbox and the provided text.
Use stroke-dashoffset to animate the check symbol on state change.
Use transform: scale(0.9) via a CSS animation to create a zoom animation effect.

HTML-CSS: Tips of the Day

What is the difference between id and class in CSS, and when should I use them?

Example:

#header_id {font-color:#fff} .header_class {font-color:#000}

(Note that CSS uses the prefix # for IDs and . for Classes.)

However color was an HTML 4.01 <font> tag attribute deprecated in HTML 5. In CSS there is no "font-color", the style is color so the above should read:

Example:

#header_id {color:#fff} .header_class {color:#000}

The text would be white.
