skip to Main Content

I am learning HTML. I have this problem if I add a div inside the hyperlink, the color of this block is cut off.

This is what’s is supposed to look like:

as the target

But at mine, this looks like this (for example for the second on the right blue div):

at mine

If I hover the mouse to the place where the blue color is missing, I can click on it and I can go on to another.
Why is there such a problem?

  1. The issue is, that a div’s default height is auto and will be calculated to fit-content. I see no need to use a div in the first place and not use the anchor as a container.

    If you ant to sue the div, you can make use of Flexbox. You set the anchor as column.flexbox by adding display; flex; flex-direction: column. This allows you to use flex-grow: 1 on the div to let it take all remaining space.

  2. First, You have not written proper HTML for the div which contains the "Co oferuję?". I have added the anchor tag inside the div from outside the div. Also, you have missed the .tilelink class to add in the anchor tag. This will display the div block the same as others. I have added a.tilelink:hover { color: blue; } CSS to show blue color when hovering into the specific div.
