FAQ
Q. What's the difference between CSS Grid and Flexbox?
A. Grid is 2-dimensional (controls rows AND columns), perfect for page-level layouts. Flexbox is 1-dimensional (row OR column), ideal for component layouts. Use Grid for structure, Flexbox for alignment within components.
Q. What does '1fr' mean in CSS Grid?
A. '1fr' means one fraction of available space. For example, '1fr 2fr' makes the second column twice as wide as the first. It's the key to flexible, equal-width columns.
Q. How do I make a responsive grid without media queries?
A. Use 'repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr))' or auto-fill. This creates columns that are at least 250px wide and automatically wrap to new rows on smaller screens.
Q. What's the difference between auto-fit and auto-fill?
A. auto-fill creates as many tracks as possible, even empty ones. auto-fit collapses empty tracks so items stretch to fill the container. Usually auto-fit is what you want.
