Cross-Axis Alignment Demo

Trip briefing: completed layout

Line up a short status card beside a taller weather card. This completed preview shows the layout before you edit the next exercise.

In style.css, .briefing-row controls the section. With a horizontal main axis, the cross axis runs top to bottom. align-items: center puts the cards’ vertical centers on the same line instead of stretching them.

Checkpoint: inspect the card positions in Preview and locate align-items: center in the stylesheet.

Change align-items temporarily to flex-start, run Preview, and compare the positions. Restore center before moving to the exercise.

Hint 1
1 / 2
HINT 1

Open style.css and change one declaration at a time.

HINT 2

Run Preview after each change; restore the value before the exercise.
