What is the difference between `inline` and `inline-block`?

How to center elements on a page?

Front

1. Use Flexbox (justify-content and align-items) 2. `margin: 0 auto` 3. Use transform with a negative translate of 50% in both directions (which is based on current width/height of the element) `position: absolute top: 50% left: 50% transform: translate(-50%, -50%)`

What is an Embedded Style Sheet?

Styling placed directly inside the <head> of an HTML doc using the <style> tag. No extra download of an external file is necessary when styling is defined this way, but it makes it impossible to control the styling for multiple pages.

What is the difference between responsive and adaptive design?

Front

Both change the appearance of a webpage based on the browser environment. However, responsive sites respond to the size of the browser at ANY given point; adaptive sites adapt to the size of the browser at SPECIFIC points. Think of the difference between smooth and snap design. Responsive layouts fluidly adjust, adaptive layouts snap into place at certain breakpoints. Adaptive requires creating several distinct layouts for different screen sizes, which can result is slower load times because the site has to load all of your layouts and then decide which one to use.

Back

Why avoid using float?

Front

Because floats were never intended for layout; they were meant for one purpose, to allow text to wrap around an image (float pulls the element out of the normal document flow). They don't behave intuitively. Desired layouts can be achieved without float using `inline-block` or Flexbox.
