CSS Kitten Wheelbarrow

Learning Goals

• Position elements absolutely

Introduction

Oh no! All of our kittens have escaped from the wheelbarrow and we need to get them back in. Help collect all the kittens and put them into the wheelbarrow using CSS selectors and absolute positioning.

Position Elements Absolutely

There are a few different ways we can use CSS to position elements in our web pages. Absolute positioning means placing the element in its containing element in a certain location that will stay the same no matter where other elements are placed.

To get started with this lab, open index.html in the browser. (For students using the Learn IDE, use these instructions on how to view HTML pages in the browser.)

Use the comments in css/place-kitty.css to write the correct selectors to move each kitty into the wheelbarrow.

Conclusion

Sometimes it takes a little bit of time to get used to how absolute positioning works, so don't worry if you have to practice. It will help you create more complex CSS layouts in the future.
