can you display fixed and flex at the same time on one element?

Someone asked a similar thing on stackOverflow and the response was absolutely not. I'll be curious to see what someone who actually knows has to say.

:point_right: "flex" is a display property value, but "fixed" is a position property value.

They are two different properties, so sure, you can use both at the same time.

I wonder why someone thought not.

so I would put display: flex; position: fixed; ????

Exactly. That gives you a flex container which (along with its child flex items) is fixed on the screen.
