HTML Introduction to HTML and CSS (2016) HTML: The Structural Foundation of Web Pages and Applications Test: Create an Unordered List

How do order the content of an HTML page into cards?

In the Intro to HTML and CSS videos, they presented us with a website that has a header, and then two "cards" of content below, in the body. How do you create those "cards", and place them where you want on the page? This wasn't covered in any of the videos.

The link button above points to a challenge instead of a video, so I'm not quite sure what you are referring to. But if it isn't covered later in this course, what you want might be in the CSS Layout Basics course or CSS Transitions and Transforms.

Hi Steven, thanks for your reply. Actually, the video I had just watched and the associated challenge had to do with a mock webpage Treasure had us working on, to go through the HTML and CSS introductory classes. On this mock webpage, there is are a lot of advanced HTML and CSS codes that haven't been covered yet in the lessons. One of them is the way the body of the page is broken down into two "cards", one on the left, one of the right, each being styled by a set of CSS commands.
Although we have been taught how to create a <p> element, and <h1 , etc> elements, there was no lesson that showed how to create them in side-by-side 'cards', or boxes, as they appear.
How/when is this taught?

It's been a while since I took it myself, but it does sound like CSS Layout Basics will probably cover it.
