9.4 Homework/Practice

Create a Two-Column Responsive Layout Using Flexbox

  1. Step 1:

    • Create an HTML file (responsive-layout.html) with a simple two-column layout using Flexbox.

      <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Two-Column Layout</title>
  <style>
    body {
      font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
      margin: 0;
      padding: 0;
    }
    .flex-container {
      display: flex;
      flex-direction: column;
      gap: 20px;
      padding: 20px;
    }
    .flex-column-1{
      flex: 1;
      padding: 20px;
      background-color: #f4f4f4;
    }
    .flex-column-2{
      flex: 1;
      padding: 20px;
      background-color: ##d50b0b
      color:#d1d55b
    }
    @media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
      .flex-container {
        flex-direction: row;
      }
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div class="flex-container">
    <div class="flex-column-1">Column 1</div>
    <div class="flex-column-2">Column 2</div>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

  2. Step 2:

    • Flexbox Layout: The two columns stack on top of each other on small screens and display side-by-side on larger screens (using a media query at 768px).

  3. Step 3:

    • Responsive Behavior: Test the layout on different screen sizes (desktop, tablet, mobile). The columns should stack vertically on smaller screens and align horizontally on larger screens.

  4. Challenge:

    • Add a third column for larger screens using Flexbox. Ensure that it stacks properly on smaller devices.

This lesson will give students hands-on experience building flexible and responsive layouts using Flexbox and media queries, empowering them to create designs that work across various screen sizes and devices.
