HTML:

<div class="image-container">
  <img src="image1.jpg" alt="Image 1">
  <img src="image2.jpg" alt="Image 2">
  <!-- Add more image elements here -->
</div>

CSS:

.image-container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center; /* Centers items horizontally */
  align-items: center; /* Centers items vertically */
}

.image-container img {
  max-width: 100%; /* Optional: Ensures the images don't exceed their original size */
}

Explanation:

  1. I create a container div with the class "image-container" to hold the images.
  2. The container is set to display: flex;, which activates flexbox behavior for its children.
  3. I use justify-content: center; to center the images horizontally within the container.
  4. The align-items: center; property centers the images vertically within the container.
  5. The .image-container img selector is optional but useful to apply additional styling to the images if needed. I set max-width: 100%; to ensure the images don't exceed their original size and are responsive.

  • Dynamic Container Background Color Based on Element Weight in Drag-and-Drop Web App

    You're building a complex web application that involves a drag-and-drop functionality. The application allows users to drag elements from one container to another, and each container has specific rules for accepting certain types of elements. How would you implement a feature where, upon successfully dropping an element into a container, the container's background color dynamically changes to reflect the total weight of the elements within it? The weight of each element is represented by a numerical value associated with it. Additionally, the color should smoothly transition from one shade to another based on the weight, providing a visual indication of the total weight as the user adds or removes elements from the container. How would you approach this using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript?
