HTML-CSS: Masonry Layout

HTML-CSS : Exercise-40 with Solution

Using HTML, CSS creates a masonry-style layout that is especially useful when working with images.

  • Create a masonry-style layout that consists of "bricks" that fall into each other with either a fixed width (vertical layout) or a fixed height (horizontal layout), forming a perfect fit. Especially useful when working with images.
  • Define .masonry-container This is the container for the masonry layout and .masonry-columns, an inner container in which .masonry-brick elements will be placed.
  • Apply display: block to .masonry-brick elements to allow the layout to flow properly.
  • Use the :first-child pseudo-element selector to apply a different margin for the first element to account for its positioning.
  • Use CSS variables and media queries for greater flexibility and responsiveness.

HTML-CSS: Tips of the Day

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

Example:

<div id="header_id" class="header_class">
Text
</div>

#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:

<div id="header_id" class="header_class">
Text
</div>

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

The text would be white.
