Code Review

This pull request adds three CSS assignments. The HTML structure is generally good, using semantic tags where appropriate. However, there are several opportunities to improve the CSS by adhering more closely to the best practices outlined in the pull request description. My feedback focuses on moving inline and internal styles to external stylesheets for better maintainability, replacing outdated CSS techniques with modern alternatives like Flexbox, and removing obsolete HTML attributes. Following these suggestions will make the code more robust, maintainable, and aligned with current web development standards.

[gemini-code-assist]

According to the CSS best practices in your PR description, styles should be in modular CSS files. Placing CSS inside a <style> tag in the HTML file (internal CSS) makes it harder to maintain and reuse. Please move these styles to the external stylesheet ./css/style.css to improve separation of concerns.

[gemini-code-assist]

These styles are defined internally within the HTML file. As per the best practices in the PR description, CSS should be organized into modular, external files. This improves code organization, reusability, and maintainability. Please move all the CSS rules within this <style> block to a new external .css file and link it in the <head>.

[gemini-code-assist]

While the text 'Item 1 (inline CSS)' suggests this might be for demonstration, using inline styles with the style attribute is against the best practices you've agreed to in the PR description. It leads to poor maintainability. Please move this style to your external CSS file by using a class.

[gemini-code-assist]

It's a good practice to include box-sizing: border-box; in your universal selector. This makes layout and sizing more predictable by including padding and border in the element's total width and height. Your other CSS files in this PR already use it, so adding it here would ensure consistency.

Suggested change

	* {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	}
	* {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	box-sizing: border-box;
	}

[gemini-code-assist]

Using ID selectors for styling (e.g., #recipe-name) is generally discouraged because they have very high specificity and are not reusable. This can make your CSS harder to maintain and override. It's better to use classes for styling. This allows for more modular and reusable styles. You can change this to a class and update your CSS accordingly.

Suggested change

	<section id="recipe-name" aria-labelledby="title">
	<section class="recipe-name" aria-labelledby="title">

[gemini-code-assist]

Using font-size: 0 on a container to remove whitespace between inline-block elements is an outdated technique. A more modern and robust approach is to use Flexbox. By setting display: flex on this container, you can remove the font-size: 0 hack. You will also need to remove display: inline-block from the .card elements. You can then use the gap property on this container to manage spacing between cards, which is cleaner than using margins.

[gemini-code-assist]

The frameborder attribute is obsolete in HTML5. You should use CSS to control the border. A good practice is to use a class for the iframe and style it in a <style> block or an external CSS file. For example, you could add .assignment-frame { border: none; }. This would apply to all iframes on this page.

Suggested change

	<iframe src="./assignment-1/css-fundamental.html" frameborder="0" width="100%"></iframe>
	<iframe class="assignment-frame" src="./assignment-1/css-fundamental.html" width="100%"></iframe>
