Basic Layout Review questions.

  • Write the property and value that takes .main out of the normal page flow and places it along the left side of its container:

Here is my answer:

main { float_ : _left ; }

With the box-sizing_ property, we can alter the way a browser calculates the total width of an element.

If we specify one background-position value, the browser will assume the second value is center_ .

Hi,

1) In order to remove an element from the normal page flow you will float that element. You can float an element either right or left.

2) Every element in web design is a rectangular box. You can adjust how the total height and width is calculated by adjusting its box-sizing. I'll leave this link here because I think it will help you a lot.. http://css-tricks.com/box-sizing/.

3) I don't know a way to explain this without just tossing you the answer, so I'll just do that. Center.
