CSS Display, Position, and Z-Index

1. Add CSS to improve index.html

• Make a CSS file and import it into your HTML. Feel free to adjust your HTML or CSS as needed.

• Frequently, we'd like to make our navigation bar (navbar) always visible so that we don't have to scroll all the way to the top to access the links. We can do this by using the fixed position value.

• Observe and utilize the classes given to the HTML elements that constitute a 'project card'. Those are project_card, project_description, project_image.

  • Make all the project images the same width and height keeping their 16:9 aspect ratio.

  • Give each project a solid border of 2px

  • Give the project description a semi-transparent background in a color of your liking;

  • Change the text color to contrast nicely with your background color making your text pleasant to read. In my case this is White.

  • Utilizing position: absolute; for .project_description, lay it over you project image. You will also need to give the parent element a position otherwise the position: absolute; given to the child will be relative to the body. Given that you have a semi-transparent background color this will give a nice effect.

    Hint

    Read about position: absolute;

  • Once you have all the above you may have a bug. If you scroll down over your projects you may find that your navbar may be going under the project cards. The navbar should always be on top of everything. Fix this using the z-index;

• Using position, visually arrange the Skills section lists into steps. Each one in increments of 10% from the left side; A suggestion maybe to wrap your list and corresponding header in a div to make this easier.

• Using either flex or grid for the Contact Me section make all the information appear in one line/row rather than a column. It will serve us as a footer. Make sure your items have some space in between.

• Make the 'Back to top' button appear always visible on the bottom right corner of the window no matter where the user has scrolled to.

• Let's shed some light on the situation. Place this image in the upper-right hand corner of the screen. Give it position: absolute so it stays there, and make sure it has a z-index so that nothing ever covers it.
