HTML Structure
1. Document Type and HTML Tag:
<!DOCTYPE html>: This declaration defines the document as an HTML5 document.
<html lang="en">: The root element of the HTML document, with the language attribute set to
English.
2. Head Section:
<head>: Contains meta-information about the HTML document, such as character set, title,
and links to stylesheets or scripts.
<meta charset="UTF-8">: Specifies the character encoding for the document as UTF-8.
<title>: Sets the title of the webpage, which appears in the browser tab.
<style>: Contains internal CSS styles for the webpage.
3. Body Section:
<body>: Contains the content of the webpage that is visible to the user.
<div class="carousel">: The container for the carousel.
<div class="carousel-inner">: The inner container that holds the carousel items.
<div class="carousel-item">: Individual items within the carousel.
CSS Styling
1. Carousel Container:
.carousel: Sets the width of the carousel to 300px, hides any overflow content, and positions it
relatively.
2. Carousel Inner Container:
.carousel-inner: Uses a flexbox layout to display items in a row. The width is set to 300% to
accommodate three items, each taking up 100% of the container width. The animation
property applies a sliding animation.
3. Carousel Items:
.carousel-item: Each item takes up the full width of the container, with flex-shrink set to 0 to
prevent shrinking. Items are centered both vertically and horizontally, with a font size of 2rem,
a height of 200px, and a light blue background with a border.
4. Animation:
@keyframes slide: Defines the animation for the carousel. The animation moves the inner
container to the left in three steps, creating a sliding effect.
0% to 33%: The first item is visible.
36% to 66%: The second item is visible.
69% to 100%: The third item is visible.
Functionality
Carousel Animation: The carousel automatically slides through the items in a continuous loop.
Each item is displayed for approximately 3 seconds before transitioning to the next item.
Responsive Design: The carousel is designed to be responsive, with a fixed width of 300px.
The items adjust to fit within this width.
