Introducing CSS Grid
Concept
Introducing CSS Grid
Setting display: grid turns a container into a two-dimensional layout system of rows and columns.
Unlike Flexbox, which mainly thinks in one direction at a time, Grid lets you define an entire layout's rows and columns together up front, then place items into that structure.
- Explain the core idea behind Introducing CSS Grid.
- Predict output before running a change.
- Test one realistic and one unusual input.
