HTML-CSS : Exercise-36 with Solution

Using HTML, CSS aligns items horizontally using display: inline-block to create a 3-tile layout.

Use display: inline-block to create a tiled layout, without using float, flex or grid.
Use width in combination with calc to divide the width of the container evenly into 3 columns.
Set font-size for .tiles to 0 to avoid whitespace and to 20px for <h2> elements to display the text.
Note: If you use relative units (e.g. em), using font-size: 0 to fight whitespace between blocks might cause side effects.

CSS Code:

.tiles {
  width: 600px;
  font-size: 0;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

.tile {
  width: calc(600px / 3);
  display: inline-block;
}

.tile h2 {
  font-size: 20px;
}

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.
